Unfortunately, many homes all across Australia have a smaller bathroom than they would like and it’s going to cost a lot more money to build a bigger one so many people decide not to. If your budget doesn’t stretch to building a new bathroom then there are other options open to you and it doesn’t mean that you have to break the bank to get them. It just takes a few careful considerations and some out-of-the-box thinking to provide yourself with a bathroom that is close to your dream and also provides you with a lot more space to move around as well.
One essential addition to any bathroom is vanity cabinets and if you don’t have the space on the floor to store one then there is all that wall space to think about as well. If you’ve never really considered hanging your vanity cabinet then there are many benefits to doing so. The following are just some of those.
1. You get the illusion of space – If you want your small bathroom to look and feel bigger then the secret is to hang your vanity cabinet on the wall. It frees up all of the space that would otherwise be taken up on the floor and it might be a good idea to install some lighting at the base that will light up the whole area underneath and you could place something eye-catching there as well.
2. It’s perfect when it comes to cleaning – Bathrooms are places with the whole family gothroughout the day and night and so they can get particularly dirty from make-up, soap, shampoo and hair. It is essential that you clean your bathroom at least once a week not more and having your cabinet on the wall makes it a lot easier to clean around.
3. It can be quite appropriate – Your vanity cabinet will likely have a mirror on the front and so it makes a lot more sense to fix it to the wall at the correct height so that you can check your hair in the morning, shave your face and apply your make-up. It can be incredibly annoying having to bend down all the time when you want to use the cabinet and wash your hand basin and so this addresses the problem.
4. You are using space efficiently – In a bathroom that is already too small, by mounting your vanity unit to the wall, you’re taking steps to protect the very little space that you already have. It allows you to be able to utilise space on the wall that you never considered before.
Hopefully, these benefits have opened your eyes to the benefits of hanging your cabinet on the wall rather than leaving it free-standing on the floor. Think of all the extra storage that you’re going to have and you’re going to have a piece of bathroom furniture that not only looks amazing but is incredibly useful as well.
