Bathroom cabinets: our guide
Wall-mounted tall unit or floor-standing cabinet? Discover the best storage solution for your bathroom
Let’s explore the range of bathroom cabinets and storage units by Scavolini, weighing up the pros and cons of the various options. Is one of your New Year’s resolutions to dedicate more time and attention to skincare? If so, you will know that a proper routine requires several steps, and the risk of the vanity unit becoming cluttered with products is high. Between serums, creams, masks, and beauty tools, you need the right storage space. This is where the bathroom cabinet comes in: the perfect ally for keeping everything in order while making the room both beautiful and functional. Here is a brief guide to help you navigate the different options for cabinets and tall units.
Tall bathroom units
When floor space is limited, the only way is up. Tall units are the ultimate “space-saving” solution: they free up the floor and offer shelves that are spacious enough to organise essentials, such as stacks of clean towels, family-sized bottles of shower gel, or toilet rolls.
Pro tip: if you want to soften the visual impact, opt for a tall unit with a mirror door or a glossy finish; this helps the tall unit blend more harmoniously with the space.
Wall-mounted or floor-standing bathroom cabinets
Are you looking for greater storage capacity? A floor-standing or wall-mounted cabinet is the answer. Compared to the tall unit - which is slender and narrow by definition - these bathroom cabinets make greater use of width and often depth, offering a significantly higher load volume. Acting as true “wardrobes” for the bathroom, these cabinets can accommodate not only toners and cosmetics but also plush bathrobes and rugs, leaving only the essentials on display for a minimal and tidy look.
What if the cabinet also doubled as a laundry unit? You can use these modules to neatly house a washing machine and tumble drier.
Internal organisation
Choosing the right bathroom furniture is only the first step; the real challenge lies in organising the interior. To maximise the functionality of your new bathroom cabinet, remember to:
- divide by category: assign a specific shelf to skincare, one to body care, and another to hair care.
- use organizers: these help you group together samples or spare products, allowing you to easily grab exactly what you need.
