What kind of bathrooms are suitable for a wooden sink cabinet?
Many people like wooden under-sink cabinets , e.g. those made of old wood. Such a under-sink cabinet can indeed look very stylish in the bathroom, but at the same time it may turn out to be impractical. This is because wooden under-sink cabinets are not always sufficiently resistant to the constant impact of moisture and can deform.
A wooden cabinet under the sink with drawers or a shelf will work well in a bathroom that is not used every day. It will match the boho, industrial or art deco style. It is also worth trying such a choice if the sink mounted on it is to be large. This way, water will not splash out of it to the sides, and the wooden countertop will be protected by itself.
In any other case, it would be good to consider buying furniture made of wood-like material with a special protective coating. In this way, you can count on an elegant appearance and usability in one.
What wood should the sink cabinet be made of?
Unfortunately, many people who decide to use wooden bathroom cabinets later regret this choice. Especially when the cabinet is made entirely of old wood. Such furniture is extremely designer, but it is difficult to protect it from damage. A wooden cabinet under the sink in this style requires thorough impregnation and then appropriate care. It is also best to choose species that are naturally resistant to moisture, which include ash and oak.
Instead of a cabinet made of natural wood, it is worth choosing one made of thick MDF board, covered with high-quality veneer, e.g. in the color of oak or walnut. The melamine coating will provide excellent functionality. Thanks to it, sink cabinets or other furniture intended for the bathroom, will withstand moisture very well, and at the same time look very nice.
