Bathroom Cabinets: Finding the Right Style
Bathroom cabinets do more than provide storage — they set the tone for your entire space. Whether your bathroom is a small powder room or a spacious ensuite, the right cabinetry combines function with style, creating a room that feels both practical and beautifully finished.
Here’s a closer look at some of today’s most popular bathroom cabinet styles and finishes:
Flat Cabinets
Sleek and minimal, flat-front cabinets are a natural choice for modern and contemporary bathrooms. With clean lines and understated hardware (or none at all), they create a streamlined look that can be customized with a wide range of colours and finishes. Flat cabinets are versatile, affordable, and effortlessly stylish.
Distressed Cabinets
For those who love a rustic or vintage aesthetic, distressed cabinets bring character and charm. Their weathered look pairs beautifully with farmhouse, cottage, or shabby chic designs, and can also provide striking contrast in a modern bathroom when balanced with polished metals or glass accents.
Shaker Cabinets
A timeless favourite, Shaker cabinets are defined by their simple frames and clean lines. Originally designed for utility, their balanced proportions and classic style have made them popular again in bathrooms. Shaker cabinetry works beautifully in both traditional and transitional spaces, offering elegance without excess.
Choosing the Right Finish
Once you’ve chosen a cabinet style, the finish you select will define the overall mood of your bathroom. Common options include:
Paint – Opaque colour that hides wood grain for a smooth, modern look.
Stain – Enhances the natural character of wood with rich tones.
Glaze – Adds texture and depth, often layered over paint or stain.
The right combination of style and finish can make your bathroom cabinetry a true design feature, not just a storage solution.
