Modern Wash Basin With Cabinet Ideas

Wondering what to consider when choosing a modern wash basin with a cabinet? Read on.

When it comes to choosing modern wash basins with cabinets, the placement of the sink and its size, the materials used and the storage facilities can all be altered to give you different options. Yet for optimal utility, you’ll also have to consider who is most likely going to access a particular vanity sink. This way you can also choose the height and other operating arrangements. We tell you all about it so that you can make meaningful choices. 

A Modern Wash Basin With Cabinet For The Living Room

A wash basin with a cabinet isn’t just meant for the bathroom. So, here’s a design you can consider for the living or dining room. A laminate cabinet with open and closed shelves can hold necessary items like towels, toiletries and so on. While the sink and the cabinet can be in neutral shades, opt for an accent wall to enliven the area. Check out more wash basin designs for the dining room.

Corner Wash Basin With A Floating Cabinet

If the bathroom’s size is small, a corner wash basin is the best option. A wide countertop with an under-counter sink works for practical purposes and aesthetics. The floating cabinets open up the floor space thus making the bathroom seem larger. The mirror opens to a wall-mounted cabinet for additional storage while the backlight illuminates and adds to the look.

Small Wash Basin With Floating Racks As Cabinets

If the small wash basin in your bathroom doesn’t allow for a free-standing or full-fledged cabinet to be installed, then consider floating racks. They can act as open shelves to make the room appear spacious while still ensuring storage. Although this may seem like a tradeoff between aesthetics and utility, you can achieve an optimal balance by altering the number of open racks needed. The wall tiles have been accented for added effect. Also, check out these small bathroom design ideas.
