The half bathroom, which usually consists of just a toilet and sink, is not as large as a full bathroom, but it still needs clever design just like any other space. You can make sure that this small room has a lot of elegance and use by being a little creative with your cabinetry and storage. Here at Askin Cabinets, we specialize in creating custom cabinetry solutions that elevate even the most compact half bath so let us give you some cabinetry ideas for such bathrooms.
Open Shelving for an Airy Look
Going for open shelving on the vanity area rather than conventional enclosed cupboards might help a half bath feel more spacious. Because they create a sense of continuity and openness with the rest of the space, open shelves make the room feel lighter and more airy. To add splashes of color and personality, use the shelves to showcase carefully folded towels, potted plants, candles, or other decorative accessories.
Mirrors over the sink for depth
Installing a large mirror or mirror cabinet over the sink will give the impression of depth if your half bathroom feels particularly small. A wide wall-to-wall mirror with narrow shelving along the sides creates the illusion of expansiveness, while a mirrored cabinet allows you to carefully store toiletries and other goods behind closed doors. Additionally, the mirrors let in more natural light, which makes the room feel larger.
Floating Vanities to Maximize Floor Space
Install a sleek floating vanity instead of a large, floor-standing vanity cabinet for the ultimate space-saving design. Half bathrooms benefit greatly from floating vanities because of their wall-mounted, lightweight design, which leaves more floor space available for movement. For easy under-sink storage, select a floating vanity with drawers or an open shelf underneath.
Built-In Niche for Toiletries
Utilize the wall space in your half bathroom by having a built-in recessed niche beside the toilet, shower, or vanity. Shelves can be installed in this corner to hold frequently used toiletries and other goods close at hand but hidden so they don’t clog the surface of the vanity. Tiling the niche’s interior to blend in with the color scheme of your bathroom will add a decorative touch.
Tall and Narrow Cabinet Tower
Installing a tall and thin cabinet tower could be a good idea if your half bathroom has some spare space along one wall. Even though these vertical cabinets are only 12 to 24 inches wide, you may use the room’s height by adding shelves or pullout storage from top to bottom. To keep the vanity area clutter-free, use the tower to hold extra towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and other bathroom necessities.
Recessed Medicine Cabinet
Modern half-bath plans require more seamless built-in storage with recessed or flush-mount medicine cabinets, as opposed to the traditional practice of protruding medicine cabinets. A recessed style subtly fits in with the décor of your bathroom while offering an efficient spot for storing toiletries, prescriptions, grooming supplies, and other personal care products. It sits flat against the wall. Look for cabinets with movable shelves so you may alter the interior to suit your needs.
Smart Storage Solutions
Cabinets for half bathrooms should offer as much storage as possible in the limited area. To keep things organized inside, look for vanity cabinets with built-in drawer organizers. A linen cabinet’s pullout shelves make it simple to reach essentials. Additionally, cabinets made specifically to hold trash cans are available. If cabinet space is restricted, more storage can be added with open shelves over the toilet tank or vanity.
Innovative Designs for Cabinet Doors
Compared to kitchens or master baths, half-baths have less cabinetry square footage, so now is the perfect time to spend money on elegant door types and Finishes. In a small area, elegant cabinet doors and drawers create a focal point. The following are a few trendy half-bath cabinetry styles:
- High-gloss lacquered doors with shades of ruby, sapphire, or emerald
- Doors with seeded or leaded glass inserts for decoration
- Specific stains or painted finishes, such as French linen, charcoal, or denim blue
- Chic door designs include beadboard, eyelet, and shaker.
- Decorative millwork such as aprons, corbels, and fluted pilasters
