Bathroom furniture - DIY assembly

The bathroom is considered to be the smallest, but the most necessary room in the house. In order for there to be no disorder, and every thing has found its own place, it is necessary to install all kinds of cabinets and shelves.

The installation of such structures by a professional will cost an impressive amount. However, you can cope with this task with your own hands, having delved into the process and being attentive.

Design and design of bathroom furniture

For small rooms, a minimalist design is suitable - a minimum of elements, and a maximum of items that make the space useful. No ruffles, flowers and curls - straight and clear lines are in fashion.

It is necessary to carry out the design and development of design in stages:

• Evaluation of the parameters of the room. Before starting work, it is advisable to assess the square of the room, the degree of its illumination and the presence or absence of ventilation. All this will give a basic understanding of what needs to be done next.
• Software development of the design. With the help of 3D modeling programs (taking into account the data from point 1, you can recreate your own bathroom and furnish it with furniture. Such modeling allows you to immediately evaluate the developed interior solution and, if necessary, make adjustments.
• Determination of the color scheme. Depending on the degree of illumination of the bathroom and the wishes of the owner, first a subtone is chosen - warm and cold. And after that, the shade itself is determined.

Varieties of pedestals

There are a lot of variations on the theme of bathroom cabinets in the modern construction market. The task of the buyer is to choose a model not only for aesthetic reasons, but also based on the principles of rationality.

The purchased model should ideally fit into the interior of the room and satisfy all the needs of the household - there should not be things on open surfaces that do not have their own place.

Bathroom cabinets

This design is considered very mobile, because it can be rearranged as much as necessary from place to place. Difficulties can arise only with models with a built-in sink, because in a new place you will have to supply water to it.

For the procedure for installing such bathroom furniture with your own hands at home, no special skills or tools are required. It is enough to assemble the product according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Wall pedestals

Designs that literally hang in the air save free space, which is especially important in very small home bathrooms. Most often they are installed together with the sink, but models consisting only of shelves look no less dignified.

Wall cabinets can be installed on walls made of bricks or concrete panels. If the bathroom is covered with plasterboard, it is necessary to reinforce the wall with a metal structure.

There are only two mounting options:

• Both the sink and the bedside table are attached separately. Each of them is suspended on independent fasteners, and the structure is connected into a single one with the help of slats, doors and shelves.
• Only the cabinet is mounted to the wall, and a surface-mounted washbasin (if provided) is installed inside it.

Installation procedure:

• Wall markings. At this stage, it is necessary to mark the upper and lower points of attachment of the cabinet, sink (if any). The height of the location is selected based on the build of family members.
• Holes are drilled with a drill of the appropriate diameter, into which dowels will then be inserted. In the case of the installation of the sink, the studs will be screwed into them for mounting the bowl.
• Before installing the curbstone, it must be completely disassembled - remove the drawers, remove the shelves. Only after that, the structure is hung and fastened with self-tapping screws.
• The final stage is the installation of drawers and shelves.

Mirror cabinet

Floor cabinets with a mirror do not require specific installation - you just need to choose the model you like and assemble it according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Sometimes, to save space, manufacturers go for a trick - they install a mirror directly on the door of a tall cabinet. Thus, you can get a full-length view and maximum storage space.

What furniture can be hung over the toilet

On the wall behind the toilet, something compact is asked for storing all sorts of household little things - cleaning products, rags, etc. Of course, you can install shelves that will look very stylish, but then the contents will become the property of all prying eyes. The best option is a compact cabinet with sections for different needs. Models with mirrored doors look interesting, thanks to which it will also be possible to visually increase the space.

For bathroom niches

Leaving this surface open is not considered rational - high humidity conditions will ruin any product or decor on it. A worthy solution is the installation of cabinets with frosted perforated glass. On such a surface, streaks and traces of limescale are less visible. Although you still have to wipe them.

It is necessary to select furniture for the bathroom, proceeding not only from your own preferences, but taking into account the dimensions of the room. Sometimes you can save space by placing the cabinet higher or by attaching it directly to the wall. It is quite possible to install any furniture in the bathroom with your own hands, even for an inexperienced master.
