We’ve gathered a variety of different bathroom examples to showcase incredible ideas for bathrooms of all sizes. Whether it’s a tiny area or a large expanse, you’ll find something to inspire you here.

Things To Consider

Before you start digging through all the various bathroom remodel pictures, there are few things to keep in mind. First, decide if you’ll want prefabricated or custom-made cabinets. While prefabricated are cheaper, they may not last as long in the moisture-rich environment. Thanks to all the humidity, you have to be careful about the type of cabinets you use in your bathroom.

Also consider what the must-haves are. For example, is it important for your bathroom theme to match the rest of your home? Do you want a specific type of tub or sink? What colors do you want? Once you have your list of must-haves, it’s much easier to pick the right bathroom remodel design for you.

Most importantly, take your time. Look through a variety of pictures to see what you like and don’t like. Whether you’re doing it yourself or hiring someone, you’ll want to have a clear picture of what you want your final product to look like. The last thing you want is to rush the project and regret the end result.

Trending Styles in Bathroom Cabinets

9 Trending Styles In Bathroom Cabinets

It’s always a good idea to check out trending bathroom cabinet styles when you’re considering a remodel or upgrade.

Bathroom cabinets are kind of a necessity for storing towels, beauty products and accessories. However, they don’t have to be limited to a bland cabinet under your sink. Instead, they can help create a trendy bathroom.

No matter how large or small your bathroom is (small bathrooms are trending, by the way), all these styles are sure to wow and even work well together.

1. Greige Becomes Front And Center

No, you read that right. One of the most popular colors for bathrooms and bathroom cabinets is greige. Whether it’s the color for the cabinets, countertop, flooring or walls, any neutral colored bathroom needs greige to be trendy. So what’s this amazing new color? It’s a surprisingly beautiful mixture of grey and beige. It actually looks much better than it sounds. Plus, it takes away that stark white while still making even the smallest bathrooms seem larger.

Ideally, you only want greige on one major component. For instance, if your cabinets are greige, your floor might be oak. If your walls are greige, you might have bold blue cabinets.

2. Natural Wood Tones Add Warmth

Your bathroom should be warm and inviting. After all, it’s not just a place to get clean, but to relax. Natural wood tones add warmth to any bathroom. A great place for this is your bathroom cabinets. A popular trend is to opt for natural wood tones as a contrast against greige or white countertops and walls. This also works well with the vintage and rustic themes that are currently popular for both the overall style and fixtures.

3. Marble Countertops Provide Luxury

Marble is well-known for adding a luxurious element when used as a countertop material. Everyone wants to feel luxurious while they bathe or get ready in the mornings. Adding a marble countertop adds that bit of luxury and it’s a classic that is always trending for bathroom cabinets.

As The Spruce points out, marble can be a bit expensive. This is why smaller bathrooms often splurge on marble for a tiny countertop. There are high-quality alternatives that give you the look without the expense or maintenance.

4. Floating Shelves Maximize Space

Not interested in bathroom cabinets at all? You’re not alone. However, you still need storage, right? One of the most creative trending bathroom cabinet styles is floating shelves. Staggered floating shelves hold knickknacks, towels, beauty products and more. Hooks on the front allow you to hang items or add a towel bar in the front for hanging your towels to dry.

Another option is floating cabinets. This allows you to easily store items on top or underneath. For instance, maybe you have a small foot bath. You could have a floating cabinet under your sink with space underneath for your foot bath.

5. Cabinets Focus On Organization

Bathroom cabinets aren’t just boxes anymore. Instead, it’s all about organization. During a trendy remodel, don’t be afraid to build in organizational elements. Roll-out shelves, mesh baskets on the insides of drawers and even roll-out shelves with pre-cut holes to hold beauty accessories, such as hair dryers, are all popular options.

Better Homes & Gardens has 15 great ideas to help you organize your bathroom cabinets in trendy, functional ways.

6. Tech Hides Inside Cabinets

High-tech bathroom cabinets shouldn’t be a surprise, but it has taken a while for this trend to become more mainstream. It’s not unusual to find outlets inside cabinets or a warming drawer for towels. If you really want to have a luxurious bathroom, you may even have a mini-fridge disguised as a cabinet for storing masks and makeup that need to be refrigerated or just to have a handy beverage while getting ready.

7. Bolder Colors Showcase Personality

The go-to for bathroom cabinets used to be all white, beige or grey. While all those colors are still trending, bolder colors are starting to appear. For instance, bold, bright cabinet colors stand out against white tiles and add personality. In fact, some experts argue that bolder colors actually make bathrooms seem more inviting than white and other neutral tones. Opt for colorful cabinets or a countertop to add a splash of color.

8. Dark Fixtures Provide Contrast

Shiny fixtures will probably never go out of style, but consider something more trendy, such as dark fixtures. Matte and dark fixtures look great for your sink and cabinet handles. Black and bronze are popular colors and match most any bathroom style.

9. Vanities Add More Function

Bathrooms should make it easier to get ready. This is where built-in vanities come in. Not only do they provide a place to get ready, but they also make your bathroom more functional. However, if you’re tight on space, you don’t have to skip your vanity.

Consider a floating cabinet made of just a few rows of drawers with a stool underneath. If you want extra storage, have a rolling box with a door or lid as the stool.

Bathroom Storage

Get Rid Of Your Bathroom Storage For Good

You walk into a bathroom and what do you see? A cabinet under the sink and another cabinet to the side for towels.

Anything that doesn’t fit is stuck on the toilet or on metal racks here and there. What if you didn’t have to feel stuck with boring bathroom storage?

You don’t! Bespoke bathroom cabinets and shelves are here to rescue your bland bathroom and turn it into a room you’ll love to sit down in and relax.

Keep Cabinets Open

Hate buying all those random bathroom decorations? Let your bathroom storage be the decorations instead. Open cabinets let you decorate with colorful towels, creative toilet paper stacks and more. Plus, it’s always super easy to find exactly what you’re looking for.

By choosing a custom option, you’re able to size your cabinets to fit exactly what you need to store. Try a criss-cross design to store rolled-up hand towels in one spot. Use cubby holes to store hair brushes and styling supplies. Another open area might even have tiered shelves to store beauty supplies for quick access.

Create A Storage Bench

Larger bathrooms often have ample storage, but no place other than the toilet or a small chair at a vanity to sit. A more comfortable option is to have a cushioned bench that matches your bathroom decor. However, the bench doubles as an extra cabinet. Leave it open, have large drawers or stylish doors. The choice is completely yours!

Provide Storage Everywhere

You’re not limited to storage in a few set cabinets. Anywhere you have wall or floor space is a bathroom storage possibility. Bespoke cabinetry and shelving mean you can get as creative as you want. For instance, check out these inspiring ideas from Homedit. As you can see, there’s very little you can’t do. Plus, most of the storage ideas work as stylish design options.

Opt For Tiered Shelving

A popular bespoke option is tiered shelving. For instance, your bathroom counter might actually step up or down from your sink to provide tiered shelves for various items. You might keep some of your child’s most commonly used items on a lower shelf and your own items up higher.

Of course, thick floating shelves in a tiered design also work well. Use them for storage or just decorative items. To make them even more useful, place hooks on them to store towels, hang belts, attach styling tools and more.

Design Based On Your Theme

Pre-fabricated bathroom storage isn’t that exciting. In fact, it’s rather bland at best. You get a few simple options and that’s it. It’s hard to have a theme based on that. Bespoke bathroom storage allows you to create designs based on a set theme. Want something more modern? Get custom sized black cabinets with white drawers and doors.

Suddenly, your storage is transformed into a style that makes your bathroom stand out. Why not give it some personality? After all, think about all it has to go through every day.

Think Up Versus Below

Most of the time, you have a medicine cabinet and then storage below the sink or counter. What about all that vertical space above the counter? Start thinking vertically. Just like with the image at the beginning of this post, bespoke cabinets designed to fit your exact space sit on the counter to provide easy access to the items you use most.

While you don’t have to give up your storage below the counter, your bathroom looks far more innovative with storage that takes advantage of all the extra wall space above your bathroom counter.

Try Hidden Storage Hacks

Another thing to consider that goes beyond traditional bathroom storage is hidden storage ideas. You’ll definitely need custom cabinetry for many of these hacks. For instance, you could have a thin drawer with built-in cups to store brushes, combs, extra toothbrushes and more. You could even have a drawer with a second drawer built-in. From the outside, you see one beautiful drawer, but when you pull it out, a second drawer gives you twice the storage. Brit+Co has several great ideas that are both stylish and easy to customize to your bathroom.

Giving Your Bathroom Remodel Character

It’s time for a bathroom remodel if you frequently shudder when you really take a hard look at your bathroom. Does that avocado green countertop give you nightmares? Is the vinyl floor so beat up you can’t get it clean any more? Or is the mirror scratched and the frame so dinged up you can hardly see to comb your hair? Then it’s definitely time!

Then the hard part comes – figuring out how to give your remodel character as well as functionality.

There are the standard items needed in every bathroom, sink, tub/shower, commode, and a mirror. But the way these items are arranged and the choice of products and colors used for each item greatly affects the charm, function and pleasure you feel every time you use the room. Here are a few things to consider.

  • Start with the basics. How big is the room? Can fixtures be rearranged, without huge plumbing expense, to allow a better layout? Is there a need to design for current or future handicapped accessibility?
  • Shop, shop, shop!! Visit home improvement stores, watch remodeling programs on TV or online. Buy bath remodeling books and magazines and flag or cut out pictures of room you love. Before too long, you will discover what colors, layouts, fixtures and amenities you like.
  • Visit with a remodeling contractor, like Edgewood Cabinetry, to begin to refine your dream and set a budget. This might even be your first step, but it helps to have some kind of vision in mind before you seek more help.
  • Think about how this bathroom remodel will fit in with the rest of your home. While you want the room to be up-to-date and fresh, unless you are planning to do the rest of the house, or have already done so, your re-do may just look out of place.
  • The things that give the rest of your home character, artwork, mirrors, photos, window and wall coverings, etc., should also be carried into your new bath. Even the things that are mainly functional in purpose, like mirrors and cabinets, should reflect your taste and personality.
  • Don’t be afraid to use something a little quirky. Add a shower curtain with a large floral print in corals, lime green and turquoise to be the focal point against white subway tiles in your shower. Just don’t try to use several bold patterns or they will only look busy and confusing.

These are just a few ideas to help you get started and narrow down your goals and requirements. Then contact us for expert planning and advice that will make your dream come true, with exceptional quality and within your budget.

Bring the Experience of Builders and Remodelers to Your Home with New Cabinetry

When you want to hire a business to do remodeling for you, the more experience they have as builders and remodelers will do you a world of good.

That’s because every remodel is going to have different situations, and a less-experienced builder won’t know how to cope with those issues. Here at Edgewood Cabinetry, we’ve seen it all when it comes to remodeling problems. And with our experience, we know how to treat you right by giving personalized services and customized designs.
What can you expect from us that you may not be able to find elsewhere? With our well-rounded expertise in different areas, we provide some options that will make your remodel go even smoother.

Working Directly With You and Free Estimates

We work directly with you so there isn’t any confusion about what you want in the way of new cabinetry. Going through contractors can sometimes lead to some miscommunication that results in redesign disasters. When the customer wants something different from what the builder thinks they want, time and money is wasted on both ends.
Working directly with you, we make sure you receive exactly the design you requested. On top of that, we’ll give free estimates before we build so you’ll be instantly saving money from the get-go.

Accurate Field Measurements

Sometimes people seeking out redesigns go to fly-by-night builders that don’t have experience, or have short knowledge on building technique. These people can give you measurements that aren’t accurate and bring you slipshod cabinetry construction that doesn’t fit correctly.
Through us, you can be assured we’ll give you accurate field measurements. We have extensive expertise working with many clients and years of building knowledge to know exactly what we’re doing.

Designing with CAD Drawings

If you’re not familiar with what CAD means, it stands for computer-assisted design. Our main builder, Pete Rafferty, had a background in illustration before starting Edgewood Cabinetry. He can bring that to you through digital design before any building takes place. You won’t always find this service in other businesses specializing in cabinetry. The 3D designs give you a chance to see exactly how your cabinets will look so last-minute changes can be made to assure your design wishes.

In-Home Delivery

Customer service is another hallmark of the best builders and remodelers. While you won’t always find superior customer service elsewhere, we improve ours by delivering your cabinetry right to your home. Most people don’t want to pick up their custom-made cabinetry in another location and haul it home on their own. Our service here gives you a chance to relax while we bring the cabinetry to you for installation.
As another mark of our commitment to the customer, we provide a warranty on your cabinetry so you’re protected if any future damage occurs.
Contact us so we can prove to you that choosing experienced builders and remodelers is always the smartest route to go when deciding on an interior remodel.
