Bathroom furniture can be an alien concept when you first start out with a bathroom remodel.
Everyone is familiar with bathroom suites: a toilet, wash basin, bathtub, shower… and a bidet if you’re feeling extravagant.
Yet bathroom furniture is something of a conundrum… Yes, we can accept the idea of furniture in living rooms and bedrooms, but what does it mean to have bathroom furniture? Are we talking a sofa in the bathroom?
Not quite. You have your basic items in the bathroom as mentioned above. But your bathroom furniture goes around these elements and subtly elevates them.
First of all, you have your worktops that surround the basin area. You also have your cupboard, drawers and carcases that maximise all that space at the edges. Finally, you have shelving for extra storage.
Ambiance Bain bathroom furniture collections consist of vanity units and worktops, WC units and tall units.
What’s more, bathroom furniture can be divided into modular furniture and fitted furniture.
Modular Bathroom Furniture
Modular furniture comprises separate units. The vanity, while attached to the worktop and forming part of the basin, is a discrete item from the WC unit, the bath panel and any other storage component.
Modular items can be wall-hung or floor-mounted – most often they float above the ground to create a feeling of space.
Fitted Bathroom Furniture
Fitted furniture is more joined up. It’s made to fit your bathroom layout rather than being separated into individual components that could go in any bathroom. The cupboards are snugly fitted along walls and into corners, and most often floor-mounted, sealed in with plinths to hide any unsightly pipework.
Bathroom Furniture Components
Vanity unit
The vanity unit goes under and around your wash basin. It often comprises a worktop, a cupboard door or a set of drawers. You choose your width. You can even opt for His and Her worktops with a double basin. Ambiance Bain furniture often comes with a sink fitted, but you can also select our Komplements units, which are made to measure certain basins from Duravit, Villeroy & Boch and Laufen.
We even have our own range of sit-on basins that go with our Staron® worktops for the ultimate contemporary look and feel.
WC Units
For that valuable area of space that gets swallowed up by the toilet and cistern, WC units come to the rescue, creating a sleek aesthetic to hide away the cistern and piping as well as potentially creating cupboard space.
For extra room, you can opt for a full height cupboard that goes up the wall behind the loo.
Tall Units
Tall units can be positioned on any free wall space in the bathroom, making use of the higher areas within the bathroom space. Ambiance Bain tall units resemble an elegant column in keeping with the vanity and WC unit designs and can be coordinated with these furniture items as well as your bath panels.
