First, the choice of bathroom cabinets
1. Lighting selection of bathroom cabinets
When buying a bathroom cabinet, you must choose one with lights, and the mirror front lamp is more important than the main lamp, which is a must-have for beauty makeup.
According to personal preference, you can choose smart mirror light strip and backlight strip.
If you want a sense of luxury, it must be a backlight strip that sees the light but does not see the light, which can be matched with the hidden light strip at the bottom of the suspension cabinet, and the atmosphere is full.
The backlight strip without a mirror cabinet is more simple and high-end, but toiletries can only be placed on the countertop, etc.
4 recommended options for storing toiletries:
➡️ side walls make niches
Make a niche on the side wall or above the toilet next to it, which perfectly solves the storage problem of toiletries.
The dimensions of the inlaid niches are chiseled from the wall during the demolition phase, and the niches can be paved with tiles or can be customized with stainless steel in-line niches online.
➡️ Choose a smart mirror + half mirror cabinet combination bathroom cabinet
Half is a smart mirror with backlight, and half is a mirror cabinet or open grid, and the open grid is best wired light.
This combination bathroom cabinet also loses a sense of luxury, because it is relatively long, the sink can be combined with a washing machine, sweeper, toilet, etc.
➡️ Choose a bathroom cabinet with a shelf
➡️ Choose a bathroom cabinet with a separate wash basin from the cabinet
This bathroom cabinet is very simple, with a hollow part for storing toiletries.
The above 4 plans can be selected according to personal preference.
If you must choose a smart mirror cabinet, it is also recommended to choose a backlight, and it is not recommended to choose a front light bar.
2. Material selection of bathroom cabinets
It is recommended to choose solid wood multi-layer board for the cabinet body of the bathroom cabinet, which is moisture-resistant, stable and not easy to deform. The stability is better than that of pure solid wood.
Secondly, solid wood and solid wood particle board are recommended.
It is strictly forbidden to use MDF that is not resistant to moisture and has very poor nail holding force.
The wash basin is made of ceramic integrated basin, which is easy to take care of.
If you're looking for a minimalist look, opt for Corian flat vanities. It is matte, which has a higher appearance than ceramic, and can also be customized according to needs.
Corian recommends choosing imported DuPont Corian, DuPont is the launcher of Corian, DuPont Corian is better than ceramics in anti-fouling, anti-yellowing, and strength, but the price is higher.
Second, the size and installation of the bathroom cabinet
The height of the base cabinet of the bathroom cabinet is between 78-85 cm, and if the washing machine is built-in, the minimum height is 90 cm, or it can be made into a high and low table.
The width of the wall cabinet is between 45-50 cm, or 60 cm if the washing machine is built-in.
The distance between the base cabinet and the toilet is not less than 15cm, which will not affect the normal use of the toilet.
The distance between the base cabinet and the wall cabinet is 25-30cm, that is, the height of the wall cabinet from the ground is not more than 1.2m, which can cover the 1.2m horizontal seam of the tiles.
Whether the tile size is 30*60cm, 40*80cm, or 60*120cm, there are seams at a height of 1.2.
The length of the wall cabinet is usually shorter than that of the base cabinet, and the height is generally 70cm, which does not exceed the height of the base cabinet. The thickness is 12-15cm.
The installation of suspended floor cabinets and wall cabinets needs to be fixed with expansion bolts, and holes will be drilled in the bathroom cabinet when leaving the factory.
There are three points to pay attention to when installing: first, avoid hidden water and electricity pipelines when punching holes; Second, it is not equipped with water retaining strips, which is more beautiful and space-saving; The third is to use anti-mildew glass glue to close the gap between the countertop and the wall.
3. Reserved position of power supply
Many people have made this wrong, most of them are left in the mirror cabinet, and when you open the cabinet door, you can see the wires, which is very unsightly.
So where is the right power cord to reserve?
Horizontal position: Installed in a central position.
Upper and lower position: Installed on the wall cabinet, next to the wall cabinet.
Through the previous introduction, the top surface of the wall cabinet is about 85 + 25 + 70 = 1 .8m above the ground, and the power cord is left at 1 .8m above the ground. In this way, after connecting the light wire, the wire and power drive are placed on the top of the wall cabinet, and the line cannot be seen in the bathroom. I can't see the line when I open the door of the mirror cabinet.
If you want to leave a switch for the smart mirror, the light wire only needs to be connected from the side wall hair dryer socket, and the socket is replaced with a switch, and the switch is used to control the light to turn on and off the power.
