Mirrored Bathroom Cabinets Guide

By KBC Kitchen & Bathroom

A mirror is an essential part of any bathroom. Without it, people would have a very difficult time getting ready for their day. However, some bathrooms are small and don’t allow much room for large mirrors. A great way to overcome this particular challenge is to install mirrored bathroom cabinets.

Bathroom cabinets that have mirrored doors are a very useful addition to any bathroom. Not only do they provide much-needed storage space for small, cluttered bathrooms but they also provide that mirror that’s crucial to the morning routine. Often called “medicine cabinets,” these handy little storage units provide a place for everyone’s essential personal items. Some even have adjustable shelving to make room for various sized bottles and personal hygiene products.

The mirrored doors are useful since they alleviate the need to find space for traditional mirrors. Just open them up, grab what you need, and close the doors to finish preparing for the day ahead. It’s a no muss, no fuss solution for bathroom organization. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

Mirrors are often used to make small rooms appear more open and spacious. In much the same way, mirrored bathroom cabinets can help to make small bathrooms look and feel larger. They’re easy to clean and require very little maintenance so they make a great addition to any bathroom. Many home improvement stores sell these cabinets in many shapes and sizes, so finding one that’s affordable is a snap.

Make sure to choose one that matches your current bathroom decor. Shop around online and visit local retailers to get a good idea of what’s available. Installation is easy and can be done in a short amount of time. It won’t be long before you’re able to enjoy the beautiful new addition to your bathroom!

Installing Bathroom Cabinets

By KBC Kitchen & Bathroom

Between the 63 bottles of shampoo and conditioner to the extra clean towels on the top of the toilet, you have finally come to the realization that you need more storage space in the bathroom. Adding shelving is an option but the bathroom ends up looking more like a pharmacy than a room in your home. Installing bathroom cabinets is one way to add that storage space while sprucing up the bathroom at the same time.

First thing that needs to be done is choosing a cabinet that fits the free wall space you have in the bathroom. Take careful measurements of that space, insuring there is room on both sides once the cabinet is mounted.  Looking for one that will serve your needs and not overwhelm the room is a good idea.

There are many types of surface mount cabinets available, from standard hinged doors to sliding style ones. For those bathrooms with limited space, the sliding doors are perfect as you do not need to allow room for door swing when mounting them. If you have the room, the swinging doors style will work just as well.

In regards to the actual mounting of the cabinets, you will need some basic tools to accomplish this. Normally a power drill or battery screw gun will do the trick along with a level, stud finder and a pencil. Most cabinets come with mounting instructions and hardware and are relatively easy to install.

Using the stud finder, locate the wall studs in the area you wish to mount the cabinets and mark them with the pencil. The cabinet may come with a paper template which will show you the proper mounting locations for the hardware, use this rather that guesstimating where it should go. Once the hardware is mounted on the wall and the cabinet hung, make sure to secure the lower portion of the cabinet to the wall with the screws provided.

Corner Bathroom Cabinet – Get Yours Today!

By KBC Kitchen & Bathroom

The bathroom is the smallest room in the house and the one that gets the most use. With a large family, this can be almost constant during the morning and evening hours. Keeping enough towels and supplies on hand requires some extra storage space and this can be accomplished by adding a corner bathroom cabinet.

Storage space in a bathroom normally is quite limited.  Some shelves or a small chest on the floor helps make up for this, but usually is not enough. The corner of the bathroom tends to have enough room to comfortably add a corner bathroom cabinet without detracting for the overall look of the room. Mounted up, within easy reach for almost every family member, this lets you keep a bit extra of everything close by.

There are many types and styles to choose from when it comes to these types of cabinets. There are single and two door models that have anywhere from two to four shelves built inside and some come with mirrored doors to give the bathroom an even more expanded look. Latching and non latching doors are also available on these.

As far as finishes go, you will have a wide variety to choose from. Wood grain and stained to match the trim or other cabinets that already exist in your home should not be too difficult to find. Along with Formica and easily cleaned surfaces, these cabinets are completely sealed against the possibility of water damage from the steam produced in a bathroom.

A brief search online will let you find a wide range of these cabinets to choose from. Once located, whether it is at a local store or a manufacturer’s outlet, ordering them is a simple matter. Many include free shipping with a substantial order which will cut down on your overall costs.

White Bathroom Cabinet Savings Guide!

By KBC Kitchen & Bathroom

Welcome to our website! You will find many white bathroom cabinet sources throughout this page.

It’s time to remodel that old, worn out bathroom with a look that’s refreshing and new. There are so many choices available so it can be difficult to make a decision. Don’t get stuck with a color scheme that might go out of style in the near future. Install a white cabinet to give that bathroom an exciting new look with a base color that matches everything.

There’s a reason why artists use a white canvass for their creations. Splashes of color stand out against white and give the creator versatility when producing their masterpiece. Anyone can use their bathroom as a blank canvass as well. Start with white and add color through bath towels, shower curtains, bath mats and other bathroom accessories. White bathroom furniture can become that canvass.

For anyone who is worried that a white bathroom cabinet will show the dirt too easily, it is important to know that the right kind of paint can make cleaning even easier than before. If the cabinets are merely being repainted, make sure to use several coats of a paint that’s marketed for easy cleaning. Some provide a barrier against dirt and grime as they dry, so choosing this type of paint will make cleaning chores easier.

If the cabinets are going to be completely replaced, look for new cabinets that have been properly treated with stain-resistant treatments and paint. This is especially important if children will be using the bathroom. Kids often like to draw on white surfaces so making sure those cabinets are coated with a paint that’s easy to clean is important.

Once the cabinets are chosen and installed, there are plenty of great bathroom accessories that will complement the new look. Get them in white to match the new look of the cabinets or get them in contrasting colors for a dramatic and exciting feel. The creative possibilities are endless!

contemporary kitchen designs

By KBC Kitchen & Bathroom

People who aren’t fans of contemporary kitchen designs, see them as sharp, cold spaces with very little personality. However, this is only true with poorly designed examples and with the right approach, a contemporary kitchen can be warm, inviting and incredibly stylish.

contemporary-kitchen-designs

Contemporary kitchens can make a real impact.

Here are a few tips:

  • Include adequae storage in your design to hide away all of the kitchen knick-knacks that will damage the sleek finish you’re trying to achieve.
  • Ensure you think about functionality as well as style. Yes you want to be contemporary, but a space-age kitchen that doesn’t function properly is no good to anyone.
  • Use a bold colour to add warmth to the space, even if it is just on one cupboard door or countertop. This will make a real difference to the atmosphere in the kitchen.
  • Choose your materials carefully. High-gloss finishes look great but are harder to maintain and keep clean. Wood is more low-maintenance but doesn’t always scream contemporary. Find the balance.
  • Add finishing touches by picking out some contemporary pieces you can keep on display in your kitchen. It might be a partiuclarly modern looking fruit bowl or a coffee machine that looks like it was designed by NASA. Either way, these touches will all add to the effect.

Incredible Tubs and Sinks by Stone Forest

By KBC Kitchen & Bathroom

I have a true respect for artisans that can take natural elements and transform them into beautiful works of art. Stone Forest has created unparalleled hand carved Japanese and contemporary sculptures and water fountains since 1989. They use a myriad of stones from granite, marble and travertine which gives their work structural integrity that man made materials cannot provide. Each piece is carved with hammer and chisel and bears the character of the rock as well as the inspiration of the stonecutter. The presence of this timeless beauty gives your home or garden the hint of eternity.

Stone Forest specializes in sinks, fountains, furniture, bath tubs, sculptures, and table ware. Equally impressive are the hammered bronze and stainless items that have an obvious hand made character with hammer marks, solder points, and minor oxidation suggesting old world craftsmanship.
