Just as fashion fads come and go, certain interior design trends can quickly become dated and unappealing, while others remain timeless and beautiful. Over the past few decades, there have been several trends that have impacted people’s bathroom cabinet design preferences, and some of these designs have aged far better than others.
Here at Briteway Custom Cabinetry and Woodworking, we specialize in bathroom cabinet design services, helping homeowners create beautiful, customized cabinets that perfectly fit within their space. If you feel like your current bathroom looks outdated, you may have previously fallen for these past bathroom cabinet design trends:
- Mismatched or Oversized Hardware. Mixing metals within the same space used to be considered stylish and unique, but today, many people prefer a more streamlined look. Cabinet hardware, towel racks, and other bathroom accessories should be the same color or metal to create a cohesive appearance. Similarly, oversized hardware can look more awkward than trendy nowadays.
- High-Gloss Finishes. No matter what color the cabinets may be, glossy cabinets can easily show fingerprints, stains, and smudges, making them difficult to keep looking pristine. Today, most people prefer a smooth matte finish or natural woodgrain.
- Bulky Medicine Cabinets. An old-fashioned medicine cabinet can become an eyesore in an otherwise elegant bathroom—especially if you have a smaller space. We recommend investing in professional bathroom cabinet design services to make your space feel larger and more inviting while keeping your countertops neat and tidy.
- White Cabinets. White bathroom cabinets can still be beautiful and elegant, but when they’re part of an all-white bathroom design, it can make your space feel dated, cold, and sterile. While complete cabinet design services may not be necessary, you might want to add some pops of color to brighten and modernize the space.
