Features of selection and placement
Several nuances for selection:
- The cabinet is selected in accordance with the size of the room. For example, for a small toilet room in an apartment, small structures or narrow models located above the toilet are better suited.
- In a spacious toilet combined with a bathroom, you can install a larger hanging structure, a cabinet or a tall cabinet.
- You should not choose too wide products that will hang over your head. The most optimal and harmonious option are cabinets 20 cm wide.
- It is also undesirable to save on fittings and prefer high-quality and proven products.
Types of toilet cabinets
There are a large number of cabinets with different performance parameters and appearance.
Hanging
Is a universal solution for a miniature room, where it is most often located above the toilet. Similar hanging furniture items on a mounting strip have a wide variety of sizes, depths, contents and stylistic designs.

Floor-standing
It is a free-standing model that can be equipped with legs, open or closed shelves.
Pull-out
These multifunctional products allow you to save useful space and are therefore especially suitable for decorating a small toilet. Roll-out cabinets are often located near the toilet, which is very convenient.
Open shelves in the toilet
Such designs add a special style and comfort to the environment and are mainly used to place various decor items, for example, a vase of flowers, wicker baskets, jars of cream or soap, etc.

Shelf
Is a compact and ergonomic piece of furniture that can add versatility to even the smallest room. Forged shelves have a particularly impressive appearance. They are not only a beautiful and elegant product, but are also suitable for storing towels, napkins and other hygiene products.
Tall cabinet
Quite roomy and at the same time not taking up much space, the tall cabinet, thanks to the shelves installed along the entire length, allows you to place all the necessary household items inside.

This option has different sizes, installation methods and designs. Wardrobes with hinged or sliding doors perfectly hide all the contents and help to create a neat interior.
With roller shutters
It can be a model with roller doors, which is a practical option for a small room and allows you to save additional space, or a wardrobe with louvered doors, which provide excellent ventilation for the interior contents.
Purpose of the cabinet in the toilet
Main types of purpose:
- Plumbing. It is used to cover pipes, meters or a boiler and thus adds more attractiveness and neatness to the room. A plumbing hatch provides free access to utilities or a water supply riser for repairs or cleaning. In addition, devices hidden in a plasterboard, wooden or plastic structure have a longer service life and accumulate less condensation and dust.
- Household. It can have fairly large dimensions and be a kind of storage room for a mop, broom, rags, buckets, basins or storage of other household items used in the household.
- Decorative. It performs an exclusively decorative function, can have a very interesting design, an original color of the doors, a glossy or glass facade, through which neatly placed decorations will be visible.

Options for arranging cabinets in the bathroom
The most popular solutions.
Cabinet behind the toilet
A convenient cabinet behind the toilet provides an excellent storage system for the toilet paper, towels, air freshener and other small items.

Thanks to this arrangement, it is possible to free up space on the cabinet with a sink or shelves, which can be decorated with other beautiful decor.
Above the installation
Such a solution will be an excellent addition to the toilet, which does not overload or clutter the room. This arrangement not only allows you to hide communications, but also provides enough space for filling with other necessary things.

Hidden
It has a very aesthetic appearance and, due to the front part, which harmonizes and merges with the walls in the interior, creates the feeling of a single plane, behind which there is actually a secret cabinet with a large number of things. Quite often, when finishing a toilet with tiles, the doors of the hidden box are also decorated with identical cladding.
Side
Perfectly complements the decor and, due to its thin and light forms, does not overload the space. This piece of furniture can be located on the left or right.

Corner
It is considered the most suitable option for small toilet rooms, which can be located in any corner of the room. Two corner shelves installed on both sides of the toilet will look very organic.
In a niche
Such products are equipped only with shelves and doors, and the back and side walls represent the niche itself.

Design of a small toilet with a cabinet
A small toilet room is equipped with narrow shelves that take up space above the toilet cistern, or a side wall, or mini-models with open or closed shelves, which look very harmonious and neat.
Quite often, products with mirrored facades are used here, allowing you to visually increase the dimensions of the room. Such cabinets do not contribute to cluttering the space, give the environment a special lightness and allow you to radically change the design of the room.
How to decorate a cabinet?
In the color scheme for the cabinet, you can choose delicate white, beige, blue pastel colors, perfect for a small toilet, as well as brighter and more contrasting green, red, black shades, which will form a catchy accent in the interior and thus also create the appearance of additional space.
Models made of colored, acrylic plastic or matte, transparent glass, as well as metal structures, especially often used for a loft-style toilet, look very interesting and original.
Home-made cabinets or products decorated with drawings, 3D images or photo printing, which are suitable for a toilet in almost any style direction, are distinguished by a rather unusual design. An even greater effect can be achieved by equipping the structure with lighting that automatically turns on when the doors are opened.
