Bathroom cabinet with laundry basket

The question of storing laundry intended for washing always remains relevant. On the one hand, you want to hide dirty clothes so that they would not be conspicuous to guests and occupants of the apartment. On the other hand, the average family usually accumulates so much laundry by the end of the week that it is impossible to unobtrusively put all the things in one place. Housewives cope with this problem in different ways: some send the dirty laundry directly into the tank of the washing machine, others purchase special laundry baskets, and others use the devices for storing laundry offered by the modern furniture industry.

For quite a while now, bathroom furniture equipped with laundry baskets have been on sale. These can be cabinet under the sink, chests of drawers and other furniture models. Today we will talk about the varieties of bathroom penchairs with a built-in laundry basket.

• In stores, you can find many modifications of the peninsula, equipped with a laundry basket. The richness of choice allows you to equip any bathroom with comfortable furniture, regardless of its size.
• A laundry basket built into a piece of furniture is a great way to disguise what is not intended for prying eyes. By hiding the basket inside the cabinet of a wall unit, you can keep it handy at all times, but not in plain sight.
• A bathroom cabinet with a built-in laundry basket is a complete piece of furniture that can be used not only to store laundry items, but keep essential hygiene items, towels, cosmetics, appliances, etc. in it.

• Peninsula is a narrow and long cabinet, therefore, the built-in laundry basket can not boast a large volume. For single people or families where laundry is a daily activity, this will not be a big problem. But for families where dirty laundry is piled up for days or weeks and then washed all at once, you should consider a more practical solution.
• Many of those who have already purchased a pencil case with a laundry basket note that it is not very convenient to use. The design of some models is very poorly thought out: the basket is either fixed unreliably and constantly falls off or, on the contrary, is fixed so firmly that it is almost impossible to remove it without applying effort.

So, to the bathroom cabinet with a built-in laundry basket are quite strict requirements:

• The material from which the cabinet is made, must meet the conditions of use. The bathroom is characterized by high humidity, temperature fluctuations, contact of furniture with water and hot steam. For the production of bathroom furniture, most often use plastic, wood, chipboard and MDF, treated with special compounds that prevent rotting.
• The bathroom is rarely very large, so the furniture created for this room should be as ergonomic as possible. A cabinet equipped with a laundry basket should be compact, convenient and functional.
• The basket built into the cabinet should be as voluminous as possible. It should have convenient fasteners that make it easy to remove and put the basket on the latches. The laundry basket should be made of durable material and not subject to deformation.

Floor mounted pencil cases - this is a classic option, which is the most in demand. Such a cabinet can be installed almost anywhere in the bathroom, as the peninsulas are always very compact. Peninsula with built-in laundry basket, as well as classic models, is usually installed on metal legs. Less common are pencil cases, which are mounted on a solid base. In addition to the laundry basket, the basement closet is often equipped with shelves for storing various hygiene items and accessories.

Suspended models of furniture are chosen by those who want to save every inch of space. Suspended bathroom cabinets are usually mounted above the washbasin, and are used to store various hygiene products. Cabinets with a laundry basket, which should be mounted on the wall are on sale quite rarely. This is due to the fact that the filled laundry basket weighs a lot and not every mount is able to withstand this weight (for example, to hang this peninsula to the wall of drywall, you will need additional reinforcement of the design).

Corner models of peninsula with a laundry basket are ideal for small bathrooms. The form of the corner cabinet allows you to fit it into the corner of the room, thereby freeing up quite a lot of space in the room, which can be used for other needs. Otherwise, the corner models have the same characteristics as the usual floor standing peninsula cabinets. The choice of corner cabinets with built-in laundry basket is very large: you can find wooden models in classic style, metal cabinets in high-tech style, plastic cabinets designed for the bathroom in a modern style, etc.

Traditionally, the mirrored door has a cabinet to be hung over the sink. Recently, however, and other models of bathroom furniture began to be equipped with mirrors. Firstly, it always looks stylish and adds light to the room, and secondly, the presence of mirror surfaces visually expands the space of the bathroom. Mirrored pencil cases with a laundry basket are a beautiful and practical solution for the bathroom.

First, you need to decide whether you are going to use the basement to store something else besides dirty laundry. If not, then pay attention to compact models, in which as much space as possible is allocated for the laundry basket. And if you are going to, then look at larger and more functional models equipped with shelves and compartments for storing a variety of accessories.

Also do not forget to decide in advance on the size of the cabinet. Go to the store having made measurements in the bathroom. Knowing exactly how much free space you have in the room, it will be easier for you to choose a cabinet model. The most popular sizes are 35 cm. and 60 cm.

Choosing a cabinet with a linen basket, check not only the quality of the body, but also the quality of components. Handles, locks, fasteners and other little things should be made of durable, corrosion-resistant materials, conveniently mounted and firmly held in their places.
