Pulling the cabinetry away from the side walls in a bathroom yields a unique look in a bathroom. I love doing this in powder rooms especially. The cabinet seems more like a piece of furniture and it makes for a nice transition of materials. Here are some great examples.

This one above was not a piece of furniture, just designed to look like one.

This is one of my remodels. I pulled the cabinet away from both sides. Above, the left side could have butted into a partial wall at the shower. It would've made maximum use of storage, but a partial wall would not be so cleanly detailed. Below, it is pulled away from the other side wall (behind the robe). It gives the piece a more prominent look in the bathroom and has a lighter, roomier effect.
featured my Showhouse room this past week! Check it out HERE.
Thanks for featuring my work!
I really love the furniture piece look, too. The faucet and lighting is really pretty in your bath design.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Carla! Love this look, and these images have me swooning! I love this look in the bath and the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteAs always your work is perfection. It is obvious that much went into the details. Love it!
Congratulations on the feature. Well deserved.
Happy Sunday.

I remember the first time I saw an old chest turned into a bath vanity at a funky restaurant many years ago. I thought it was the COOLEST THING EVER and wouldn't shut up about it at the table when I got back! Much nicer to have something that looks like furniture!
ReplyDeleteSally Markham's looks just out of this world.

These are some great looking vanities. If you're looking for ways to achieve a low cost bath remodel, try the designer, stock vanities like some of those shown here. These vanities can be bought at a great price and have a high-end, custom look without the custom price.
