A well-organised bathroom isn’t about how many pieces of furniture you have, but how well they suit the room. Whether you live in a small flat or a family home, a bathroom cabinet should make the most of the space available without obstructing movement. It should also withstand the humidity and keep everyday essentials within easy reach.
Before choosing a bathroom cabinet or tall storage unit, take a moment to consider the most common pitfalls.
A white, wood-effect or coloured finish can fit in easily with your décor, but it doesn’t tell you how much the cabinet can actually hold. Check the number of compartments, the usable height of the shelves and the maximum load it can support. A shelf that’s too low may not fit taller bottles, while a shallow drawer is better suited to small accessories than towels.
A bulky cabinet could stop a door from opening fully, make it harder to reach the toilet or reduce the space in front of the basin. In a narrow bathroom, measure the available width, depth and height, including the skirting boards. A shallow bathroom storage unit lets you make use of the room’s height without taking up much floor space, while a wall-mounted cabinet keeps the floor completely clear.
MDF, chipboard and bamboo can all work in a properly ventilated bathroom, but no cabinet is designed to stay in contact with large amounts of water for long periods. Wipe up splashes promptly, avoid placing it where it will be directly exposed to spray, and check the manufacturer’s guidance.
Start by measuring the space where you plan to put the cabinet:
A tall bathroom storage unit can hold towels and toiletries. By contrast, a narrow bathroom cabinet with a depth of 15 to 20 cm is better suited to small spaces, particularly next to the toilet. If you’re looking for a vanity unit, check whether it has a cut-out for the plumbing: this isn’t always included.
Bathroom cabinets with doors keep products out of sight and instantly make a room feel tidier. Models with adjustable shelves are better suited to bottles of different sizes. Bathroom cabinets with drawers make it easy to keep cosmetics, accessories and small items separate, but you’ll need enough space in front of the cabinet to open them fully.
A mirrored bathroom cabinet can combine storage with everyday convenience. For a wall-mounted model, check the type of wall, the fixings supplied and the maximum load. Take extra care with anchoring if the cabinet is tall or will be used in a family home.
Painted MDF, melamine-faced chipboard and varnished bamboo can generally be cleaned with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and don’t leave water standing on the surfaces. Check the following details in particular:
An anti-tip kit doesn’t replace fixings suited to the type of wall. If you have children, keep heavy products on the lower shelves and don’t let them climb on the cabinet.
Why it suits this profile: Its 20 × 20 × 80 cm dimensions make it a good fit for small spaces next to the toilet. It combines a toilet roll holder, a closed cupboard and adjustable shelves.
Its compact design keeps clutter to a minimum, while the adjustable shelves help you make the most of the space around smaller products.
A compact design, three shelf levels, a material described as moisture-resistant and an anti-tip fixing.
Why it suits this profile: Measuring 80 × 20 × 60 cm, this wall-mounted cabinet combines a mirror, concealed storage and open shelves in a contemporary grey finish.
Wall mounting keeps the floor clear, while the eight compartments let you organise products by how often you use them.

Why it suits this profile: It makes use of the space above a washing machine or tumble dryer, giving you room for detergent, towels and accessories in the utility room or bathroom.
It adds storage without taking up extra floor space and clearly states the dimensions of the area needed for the appliance.
Two open compartments, a wide top shelf, a stated total load capacity of 20 kg and an anti-tip kit.
Why it suits this profile: This tall cabinet can hold towels, toiletries and accessories across its three door-fronted sections, some of which have glass or slatted doors.
The doors let you separate items you want on display from those you’d rather keep out of sight, while adjustable shelves help avoid wasted space.
Six doors, an adjustable interior shelf, two glass doors, two louvre doors and a recommended total load of 50 kg.

Choose a narrow bathroom cabinet, a shallow tall storage unit or wall-mounted storage. Remember to measure the space needed to open the doors and drawers, too. A narrow unit won’t be suitable if it gets in the way.
Use the anti-tip device supplied and choose wall plugs that are suitable for your wall. For plasterboard, the fixing must be appropriate for the wall structure and the weight of the cabinet. A tall cabinet should never simply be left freestanding without being anchored.
It depends on the quality of the materials, the room’s ventilation, exposure to splashes and whether you stay within the maximum load. Wipe up water promptly, air the bathroom regularly and check the screws and fixings from time to time. Regular care helps prevent warping and loose joints.
