Bathroom cabinets are indispensable to store bathroom items and to provide yourself with comfort. You mainly use a bathroom cabinet to store things, such as towels, toilet paper, shower gels and shampoos, make-up and much more. This way you have everything close to you and you increase the degree of comfort in the bathroom. In addition, the room looks neater and cleaner when you can store everything behind a closed door. In a tidy bathroom you can relax better, for example when you are bathing.
However, bathroom cabinets also have an aesthetic function: they largely determine the style and design of the bathroom. But what kind of bathroom cabinet fits in your bathroom? What can you choose from and what are the options?
4 types of bathroom cabinets
We distinguish between four different bathroom cabinets. We make this distinction based on the size and the mounting spot in the bathroom. However, a bathroom cabinet can vary on many more fronts and details. There is therefore an endless choice. In this article we will discuss the difference based on size and the place in the bathroom where the cabinet is usually mounted.
On the images below you see the four different variants.
Tall bathroom cabinet 
Bathroom mirror cabinet
Vanity unit
A vanity unit is placed under the sink. A vanity unit often has two drawers, so you can neatly sort your things. With a cabinet under the washbasin you have your bathroom stuff within reach.
Vanity units are available for single and double washbasins. Washbasin furniture for double washbasins is especially very practical when you use the washbasin together at the same time, because everyone can divide their own side of the cabinet. This way you don’t have to disturb each other during everyone’s morning and night routines.
Furthermore, a vanity unit is ideal, because it hides inelegant pipes under the sink. A vanity unit is very suitable for small bathrooms. The hanging aspect makes the room seem larger. Moreover, there is often free space under the cupboard to place a laundry basket, for example.
Drawer unit or wall mounted bathroom cabinet
Drawer units or wall mounted bathroom cabinets are smaller in size and can be mounted anywhere in the bathroom. Nevertheless, the dimensions can differ greatly. There are sleek cabinets that reach high in length, but also wide cabinets. In most cases, the wall mounted bathroom cabinet has doors instead of drawers.
Drawer units and wall mounted bathroom cabinets are also ideal in small bathrooms, as the smaller size take up little space.
Tall bathroom cabinet
A tall bathroom cabinet, is a small, high cabinet. Again, tall bathroom cabinets are ideal in small bathrooms, as they take up little space in width. Tall bathroom cabinets are slim cabinets and are therefore elegant and timeless. There are many variations available. In addition to the choice of countless materials and finishings, you can organize your bathroom cabinet in different ways. There are tall bathroom cabinets with one, two or three doors, or with an open surface in the middle.
A tall bathroom cabinet is also very suitable for families with little children. You can store dangerous objects on the highest shelves.
Bathroom mirror cabinet
A bathroom mirror cabinet is, as the name suggests, a bathroom cabinet with a mirror. This brings the most comfort and convenience when you mount it above the washbasin. The mirror is often mounted on both doors of the cabinet. In some cases there are even mirrors on the inside of the cabinet. This gives you easy access to a mirror and your bathroom items at the same time.
Bathroom mirror cabinets are now available in the most luxurious versions. There are mirror cabinets with lighting or mirror cabinets with heating to prevent the mirror from fogging up in the humid room. There are even variants where there are sockets in the inside for very modern, sleek bathrooms.
Hopefully this article has helped you on your way and you can get started with your own purchase of the right bathroom cabinet. Again, the options and possibilities are endless. A large bathroom cabinet is nice, but it must fit into the space and not stand out too much.
