If you do not pay attention to the moisture resistance of the product, as well as to constantly ventilate the bathroom and be sure to install the ventilation system, then you can save it and the next 5 years not to return to this issue.

If you choose on furniture from pressed sawdust, choose a wardrobe and bedside tables with a flat surface, preferably with a waterproof film. If you want something special, for example, a concave or convex facade, then you need to abandon this material and choose something more serious, for example, a cabinet made of MDF.

The cabinet for the bathroom from plastic is the main and most important plus that such furniture will cost inexpensively, if you compare the cabinet for the bathroom with other materials. And this is not the only one worth paying attention - from plastic you can make the facade of any shape and sizes. The combination of price and quality is very important, since such furniture is not afraid of high humidity and perfectly suitable for use in the bathroom. A wide selection of color gamut and a variety of models presented on sale will help you decide on the choice. If the suitable size and shape of the cabinet did not turn out, you can make an order by individual measurements.

Glass furniture is an interesting option, it is only important to pay attention to the quality of the material, it should be tempered glass with smoothed corners. The outdoor cabinet in the bathroom, made of transparent glass, will help visually increase the space space. But you should not take everything literally, in a small room, bulk cabinets will be superfluous.

By the way, tempered glass, though not afraid of moisture, but is not protected from shocks, therefore, if you are not sure that you can carefully handle furniture from glass, then you should pay attention to the combined wardrobe for the bathroom, made of glass and plexiglas.

If the room in the room is not enough, you can do a narrow penalty with one door, for such a cabinet there is a place in the corner or move it close to the wall. If the space allows, you can buy a large wardrobe with two sash.

The outdoor cabinet is the most popular type of bathroom furniture, as you do not need to spend time on its installation, and to move it from one place to another, it is enough just to move the furniture. Floor cabinet is an excellent choice for a combined bath with a bathroom. Wipe dust under the cabinet easily, so there will be no problems with cleaning.

For the bathroom, it is best to choose a cabinet on the legs, just the resulting space can be used. For example, put a basket with the necessary items. And besides this, natural ventilation in the room will be observed, which is very important for the bathroom. Choose a floor cabinet with water protection so that the furniture served a long time.

Find out the seller if a special protective material is applied on the mirror, then after taking the soul, you don't even have to wipe it, since the mirror does not work. Just do not forget that in the bathroom you need to include ventilation, because even the most enduring furniture will lose your attractiveness over the years.

Hinged furniture has a number of advantages:

• this is a multifunctionality, you can save the room from unnecessary items and hide everything into the locker.

Built-in lamps free you from such a burdensome task, as the organization of lighting in the bathroom.

You can buy a classic - a standard attached cabinet with one or two doors. In the store you can find suitable furniture in size and color. The place for the mounted cabinet should be selected in advance and preferably constant, as you have to drill in the wall of the hole to attach the closet.

When choosing furniture for the bathroom, pay attention to the dimensions, if you want a locker to be located above the washbasin, then you need to stick the sizes of the washbasin - the width of the locker and the washbasin should be the same.

How to hang a wardrobe yourself

If you chose a mounted cabinet to the bathroom, then you need to hang it. In order not to invite specialists, you can save a family budget and cope with the work yourself. Standard tool kit: This is a drill or perforator, level, construction tape measure and screwdriver. In addition, you will need another pencil and ruler to make marking. The standard height from the floor level is not more than 2 m, but not less than 1.6 m. It all depends on the size of the cabinet. You need to measure the width of the locker and mark the line on the wall horizontally.

Attention! The axis of the washbasin and the vertical axis of the cabinet must coincide.

Next, you need to measure the distance between the "ears" - fasteners and "postpone" this number on the wall first in one direction, then to another (horizontal and vertical from the center). The points received and there is a place of drilling the fastener.

Now you can take a drill or a perforator to drill holes first in the tile, and then immerse yourself in the wall. Be careful, since the tile must be drilled when the blow is disabled, otherwise the tile will split and cracks will go through it.

Holes are ready, you need to insert a dowel and screw the hooks, on which then you climb the cabinet.
