The bathroom is the most frequently used place in the home, and the bathroom cabinet is one of the most commonly used bathroom products. Perhaps because it is used every day, it seems to have a weak "sense of existence", but the importance of the bathroom cabinet is no less than that of the toilet or shower head.

The seemingly ordinary bathroom cabinet actually requires a lot of attention to details when purchasing. Otherwise, if you buy a poor quality bathroom cabinet, it will not only be inconvenient to use, but also be easily affected by moisture and mold, making it difficult to maintain, which is annoying.

I suggest everyone: If you buy a house again, you must stick to the "7 Don'ts" for bathroom cabinets. This is not misleading, but experience and lessons!

Do not choose rock board integrated cabinet

It can be said that the rock slab "amazes everyone" as soon as it appears. With its super high appearance and excellent physical properties, it quickly became popular in the home decoration industry. Compared with traditional ceramics, the texture of rock slab is comparable to natural raw stone, and its super hardness, fire resistance, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance are even better.

Slate is quite good for tabletops and countertops, but it is not suitable for bathroom cabinets ! The high-end slate integrated cabinet is very difficult to maintain and difficult to use. The gaps and corners between the slate panel and the ceramic basin are easy to hide dirt, which will become moldy and black over time, which is ugly and difficult to remove.

The integrated basins made of rock slabs, which are the main products of merchants , are even more difficult to use because they are not truly "integrated". Instead, they are made by cutting, chamfering, grinding and other processes of the rock slabs, and then splicing them together with glue.

This way, there are more gaps, and the right angles are more likely to hide dirt and grime, making it more difficult to clean. In addition, there are many drainage problems, either the water is slow to drain or it is easy to splash water. It can be said that the rock slab integrated bathroom cabinet is only powerful in appearance, but not in practicality.

For daily home life, it is recommended to purchase an integrated ceramic basin. The longevity of the integrated ceramic basin makes sense and it is very practical.

Do not choose particle board

Because there is a lot of moisture in the bathroom, you should pay special attention to the waterproof and moisture-proof properties of the material when purchasing bathroom cabinets. Common bathroom cabinet panels include oak, rubber wood, multi-layer solid wood boards, PVC boards, etc. The better oak boards are hard and durable, have good waterproof properties and appear high-end.

Imported rubber wood, multi-layer solid wood and high-density PVC have similar costs, and qualified materials can be used in the bathroom. The worst is particle board, which has poor moisture resistance and is very afraid of water. Generally, big brands will not use particle board for bathroom cabinets, but some unknown brands will use particle board because it is cheap.

Particle board placed in the bathroom is easy to warp and deform, which is not environmentally friendly and very durable. In addition, the thickness of the board, whether all the same materials are used, hardware accessories, paint process, etc. will affect the cost and service life of the bathroom cabinet.

Do not choose floor-standing type

Floor-standing bathroom cabinets are easy to install, but have low space utilization. There are sanitary dead corners at the positions of the four supporting legs. If the metal parts in these supporting legs are not properly treated with rust prevention, they will rust and produce yellow stains in a humid environment, which is very troublesome to maintain.

It is much more convenient to choose a hanging bathroom cabinet. Even if there is no dry and wet separation design, it is very convenient to clean the bottom. Buckets, washbasins and other toiletries can be placed below, which has high space utilization rate, and it is invisible, unsightly and does not take up space.

Do not choose a simple mirror

Bathroom mirrors are one of the standard features of bathroom cabinets, and the new smart defogging bathroom mirrors are also popular among the younger generation. But don't choose a simple mirror model, especially those with fancy features such as Bluetooth music playback, which is a waste of money.

When washing in the bathroom, a family of three actually has a lot of things, and how to store them is a problem. Putting them all on the countertop will look very messy, and a bathroom mirror with cabinet storage function is much more practical, especially for small bathrooms.

The back of the mirror cabinet can be designed with hidden backlight, so that the light is visible but not the lamp, the light is soft, and there is no dead angle for makeup lighting. A socket can also be reserved inside the mirror cabinet to charge electric toothbrushes, shavers, etc., because it is cleaner and more sanitary inside the cabinet, and the countertop will appear much neater.

Do not select swing door

Don’t choose a bathroom cabinet with swing doors, because due to the existence of the sewer pipes, the storage space of the bathroom cabinet is a bit useless. If you choose a bathroom cabinet with swing doors, the storage space inside will be less utilized and it will be inconvenient to take things out .

It is recommended to choose a cabinet with drawers, which can store more things, and the classification and storage are more reasonable, convenient to take and put, and not easy to be messy. With the storage space of the mirror cabinet, even in a small-sized bathroom, it is more than enough to store the bathroom supplies of a family of three.

Do not choose ordinary hot and cold faucets

In order to maintain the appearance of ordinary hot and cold water faucets, the water outlet is often not located in the center of the wash basin. If the distance is too short, it will be easy to splash water all over the countertop when washing. Apart from being able to switch between hot and cold water, it has no other functions.

It is recommended to replace it with a pull-out faucet with dual-mode water outlet. The entire faucet can be pulled out, and you can also switch between the two modes of bubble water and shower water. It is very convenient to use it to wash your hair or rinse the basin when pulled out.

If you want to save costs, you can also replace the original faucet spout with a dual-function universal bubbler, especially this one that can rotate 720°, which can realize most of the functions of a pull-out faucet.

It easily solves the defects of traditional faucets, such as short distance, easy splashing, and inability to change the direction and angle of water flow. It also has two built-in water flow modes, which can be switched at will with a twist. In addition, the 720° rotation and flip-up design make washing more convenient.

Although it doesn't cost much, it greatly improves the water use experience in the bathroom.

No floor layout

If you choose a floor drainage, even if the bathroom cabinet is hung below, there will still be a dead corner for hygiene, and it is not beautiful. Many decoration masters recommend floor drainage, saying that wall drainage is inconvenient to repair, but in fact they just want to save trouble.

The construction technology of wall-type drainage is very mature. It has good visual quality with concealed installation, no sanitary dead corners, and low noise when flushing. Compared with the floor drainage, it is just that the sewer pipe is extended and buried in the wall. Leakage is related to the construction quality, and has no direct impact on whether it is a wall drainage or a floor drainage. In addition, a floor drain can be installed underneath the wall drainage for maintenance, so there is no problem of being unable to be repaired.

The house is yours to live in, so you have to worry more about the decoration. If you pay attention to every detail, there will be fewer regrets in the decoration.
