How do you choose the right bathroom furniture?
In a lot of ways, the bathroom is the heart of the household, a place of relaxation and well-being where aesthetics meets functionality. Of all the elements that make up the bathroom, bathroom furniture is particularly important. It sets the tone, determines the style and ensures optimum organisation. But how do you choose the right furniture for your bathroom? This article offers some tips from our Bernstein brand to help you make the right choice.
Choosing the right furniture for the available space
The first thing you should consider is the size of your bathroom. Before buying any piece of furniture, you must carefully measure your space. The choice of furniture should be adapted to the space available to reduce any clutter.
A vanity unit with more than two drawers helps to make the most of a bathroom with limited space. For a large bathroom, the options are more varied: from double washbasins and storage columns to different sizes of vanity units, there are many possible combinations.
Opt for moisture-resistant materials
Moisture is omnipresent in the bathroom. The materials used for the furniture must therefore be water-resistant. The wood-based material MDF, for example, is an excellent choice. It is naturally waterproof and brings a warm touch to the room.
Alternatively, you can choose furniture including washbasins made of mineral cast. They are often cheaper than those made of wood and offer a wide range of different surfaces and colours.
Play with the style and colour of the furniture
The style of your bathroom furniture will determine the atmosphere of the room. You can go for a modern style with clean lines and understated colours. Or you can choose a more classic style with wooden furniture and elegant finishes.
It is important that the style of the furniture matches the rest of the bathroom furnishings. The colours also play an important role. They should be in harmony with the other elements in the room.
Add functional storage
At Bernstein, we believe that the bathroom is a place where many products and accessories must find their place. That is why bathroom furniture should offer efficient storage solutions.
Choose furniture with enough drawers and compartments to store your cosmetic products, towels or toiletries. In smaller bathrooms, a storage column can provide additional storage space.
Choosing the right washbasin
The washbasin is the central element of bathroom furniture. There are different types of washbasin: Countertop, built-in, or suspended washbasins. Each has its benefits and drawbacks.
The countertop washbasin is easy to install and adds a touch of elegance to the bathroom. Built-in washbasins, on the other hand, offer significant space-saving. The suspended washbasin is ideal for small bathrooms.

Further bathroom equipment options
There are a variety of options for bathroom furniture that you should consider. Understanding the differences between these options will help you make an informed choice.
A vanity unit is an essential part of a bathroom. There are vanity units with an integrated washbasin or individual cabinets that you hang underneath washbasins. Whether you opt for a single washbasin or a vanity unit with a washbasin depends mainly on the size of your bathroom and the available space.
Hanging cabinets are another popular choice for the bathroom. They are mounted on the wall and give the bathroom a modern look. They can be added to a bathroom furniture range or used individually. This type of furniture also frees up floor space, which makes cleaning easier.
The mirror cabinet is another smart choice when it comes to expanding storage options. It often combines a mirror with shelves and drawers to store toiletries.
The bathroom column is a vertical storage element. It maximizes the available space and can be placed next to the washbasin or in another corner of the room for easy access.
To go one step further
Consider the choice of floor and heating.
In addition to the choice of bathroom furniture, the type of floor and heating system are also essential elements to consider. Indeed, they contribute to the comfort and aesthetics of the room.
The wooden floor adds a touch of warmth and elegance to the bathroom. However, it must be treated and maintained regularly to resist moisture. An interesting alternative is imitation wood tiles, which combine the aesthetics of wood with the resistance of tiles.
Regarding heating, it is important to choose a system that is adapted to the space and humidity of the bathroom. A radiator or towel dryer can be useful in a bathroom. For extra comfort, floor heating is a solution worth considering, especially in the winter.
That’s it, you now have all the tools to choose your bathroom furniture. Take the time to think about your needs and desires before making your choice. And remember, your bathroom is your relaxation area, so treat yourself!
