Upper cabinets

The bathroom vanity unit is a wall-mounted furniture unit that is installed above the sink and often combines the functions of storage and a mirror. It is made of moisture-resistant materials such as PVC or MDF to withstand condensation and water splashes. It is available in various configurations - with built-in LED lighting, angular shapes or a classic design with shelves, providing easy access to everyday toiletries.

In any bathroom, these cabinets provide not only a valuable addition to the interior, but also a practical space for organization. Here you will find everything you need to know about this piece of furniture - from the different types to tips for choosing the right model.

What are bathroom upper cabinets?

Upper cabinets are functional pieces of furniture designed to be mounted on the wall – most often above the sink, but can also be placed above a washing machine or built-in toilet. Their main purpose is to store cosmetics, medications, toothbrushes, toothpastes and other small items, keeping them tidy and away from moisture.

This furniture not only optimizes space, but also adds a finished look to the room, often playing the role of a main accent through its mirrored doors or built-in lighting.

Types of upper cabinets

The variety of models on the market is enormous to meet the specific architectural features of each bathroom and the needs of users.

Here are the main types you will encounter:

• Regular (classic) cabinets - these are standard models with one or two doors and internal shelves. They are ideal for storage if you already have a separate mirror or are looking for an additional cabinet for another area in the bathroom.

• Mirrored wall cabinets are the most popular choice ("2 in 1"). They combine storage space behind the doors with a mirrored surface on the front. This saves space and visually expands the room.

• Corner wall cabinets - specially designed to take advantage of corners in small bathrooms. They maximize the use of space that would otherwise remain empty.

• Cabinets with LED lighting - modern models with built-in lighting, often behind or above the mirror, which provides perfect light for applying makeup or shaving and gives a luxurious atmosphere.

• Models with built-in sockets - extremely practical cabinets that have a built-in socket and sometimes a light switch. This makes charging electric toothbrushes, shavers or using a hairdryer much more convenient.

As you can see, the choice is large. It is important to examine in detail the characteristics of each category in order to choose the model that best suits your needs and style preferences.

How to choose a suitable model?

Choosing the right upper cabinet depends on a combination of aesthetics, size and functionality. To avoid making a mistake in your judgment, it is a good idea to follow a few basic steps.

Here are the factors you should consider:

• Measure the available space - the first and most important step. Measure the width of the wall and match the width of the cabinet to that of the sink or lower cabinet for symmetry.

• Functionality and needs - consider how many items you will store. If you have a lot of cosmetics, choose a model with more shelves. Decide if you need a built-in outlet.

• Mirror or not - for small bathrooms, a mirror cabinet is a must, as it saves space. For larger rooms, you can opt for a separate cabinet with a column and a large decorative mirror.

• Materials and durability - for areas with a lot of moisture and splashes, PVC (plastic) is the safest choice. MDF is suitable for drier areas and offers more elegant wood decors.

• Style and design - match the look with the rest of the furniture. Modern, minimalist or retro style - the choice should be harmonious.

• Budget: Determine the amount you are willing to spend, looking for a balance between quality and price.

By following these tips, you will be able to choose the perfect upper cabinet that will not only hold all your belongings but also add elegance to the space.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far from the sink should the upper cabinet be hung?

The optimal distance between the lower edge of the upper cabinet and the upper edge of the sink (or faucet) is typically between 30 and 40 cm . This provides enough space for comfortable use of the sink without hitting your head, and protects the mirror from constant splashes of water. The height also takes into account the height of the users, so that the mirror is at eye level.

How wide should the upper cabinet be?

For aesthetic balance, the upper cabinet should not be wider than the lower cabinet or the sink. It is best to have it the same width or slightly narrower (for example, 5-10 cm on each side inward). This creates visual symmetry and prevents the cabinet from “sticking out” beyond the sink area.

How to choose the right upper cabinet versus lower cabinet?

The easiest and safest solution is to buy a set from one series, which guarantees a complete match in style, color and material. If you choose them separately, try to match the finish (glossy or matte) and the color of the handles. When combining different colors (e.g. white bottom and wooden top), make sure that the wooden decor is also present elsewhere in the bathroom (e.g. on the tiles).

What upper cabinet accessories do you offer?

Upper cabinets often come with additional LED lights (wall lights) for mounting above the cabinet ("visor"), which provide better lighting. You can also find internal organizers for small items, cosmetic magnifying mirrors for attaching to the door, as well as spare hinges with a soft close mechanism.

What material are the upper cabinets made of?

The most common materials are PVC (100% waterproof) and MDF (moisture-resistant). PVC is ideal for small bathrooms with a direct shower on the furniture, as it does not deform from water. MDF offers a wider choice of finishes and wood decors, but requires good ventilation. There are also more budget options made of chipboard, which are only suitable for dry areas, away from splashes.
