Some years back ‘medicine cabinet’ and ‘bathroom cabinet’ were considered as one object, comprised of a plain white box which is mounted above the bathroom sink. Nowadays, this bathroom storage device has become a stylish and multifunctional bathroom accessory. Today the luxury bathroom units are in the form of bathroom counter-top, bathroom vanity, medicine cabinet, custom cabinet, semi-custom cabinet, stock cabinet, etc. These cabinets are different in styles due to the different cabinet door fronts. Wood contemporary style and wood modern style are the available designs. The wall mount bathroom cabinet can be of two-door or three-door cabinets. The three-door cabinet is suitable for bigger bathroom with a lot of toilet articles.

In modern designs, bathroom cabinet doors are considered as the most important asset. Nonetheless, before you hastily come to any decision while selecting the convenient and elegant cabinet design, you have to ponder on the flexibility and reliability of the bathroom cabinet doors that you are going to install. The most popular materials for the bathroom cabinet doors come in natural solid wood and Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) or wood fiber board. However, solid hardwood cabinet doors are generally better than that of MDF. You should check whether the frame and the doors are made of the wood of same species. Solid wood doors, drawers and cabinets are more durable and not look dated in comparison to the particle-board and vinyl cabinets.

If you want to cut down the costs, you should opt for solid wood doors, cabinetry and drawer fronts rather than choosing melamine finished ones. Oak or cherry hardwood is expensive for doors and drawer fronts. If you are planning for hinged doors, make sure that they should not open against the obstructions like a grab-bar or towel rack. The reliable manufacturers keep three hinges on the doors of taller cabinets. Pivot hinges, H hinges, butterfly hinges, butt hinges, wrap-around hinges, European hinges, counter-flap hinges, strap hinges, tee hinges, continuous hinges, overlay hinges and HL hinges are some of the types of cabinet door hinges. You may choose the door hinge that suits the door frame of your cabinet. The better quality fitting of drawers and doors allows opening and closing without banging. Generally, the doors and drawer fronts overlay the frame, but sometimes they may be offset or flush. Finally, check out whether the cabinet entrance is allowing warm air to circulate around the plumbing.
