A bathroom cabinet should neatly store towels, toiletries, toilet paper and cleaning products without making the room feel cramped. In a small bathroom, guest WC or rented flat, just a few centimetres can make the difference between a perfect fit and an impractical solution.
If you only focus on colour and price, you'll often miss important details. Three common buying mistakes are:
First, measure the available wall and floor space. Consider not just width and height, but also depth. A narrow bathroom cabinet around 30 to 35 cm deep can work well next to the sink or in a guest WC. Even so, make sure there's enough room to open doors and drawers.
For a tall bathroom cabinet, ceiling height is also crucial. Tall models use wall space efficiently, but they must stand securely and be fixed to the wall according to the instructions. This is especially important in homes with children or pets.
Many bathroom cabinets are made from MDF or chipboard. These materials can be suitable for a bathroom if they have a moisture-resistant surface and properly sealed edges. However, "moisture-resistant" does not mean the cabinet should be exposed to standing water.
Look out for the following points:
A moisture-resistant bathroom cabinet still needs to be placed in a dry, well-ventilated area.
A bathroom cabinet with doors protects the contents from dust and gives the room a tidy look. A bathroom cabinet with drawers, on the other hand, is better for smaller items like skincare products, shaving accessories or hair ties. Open shelves offer quick access and can be used for towels, baskets or decorative items.
For the area under the sink, an under-sink cabinet is a practical choice. Before buying, check whether there are cut-outs for the trap and water pipes, or whether the model is specifically designed for a pedestal sink.
Why this product fits the profile: With a footprint of roughly 35 x 32 cm, this tall cabinet uses its 161 cm height and takes up relatively little floor space. The combination of a door, drawer and three open shelves suits small bathrooms, guest WCs and rented flats.
The slim footprint reduces the risk of choosing a cabinet that's too deep for a tight floor plan. The louvre door and ventilated drawer base help air circulation; however, water should still be wiped away promptly.
White MDF, vertical storage and several separate storage areas. The included anti-tip fitting should be attached to the wall following the instructions.
Why this product fits the profile: This model combines closed compartments with three open shelves. At roughly 100.5 cm wide and 75.5 cm high, it's ideal for households that need more horizontal bathroom storage and prefer white bathroom furniture with gold accents.
The three adjustable shelves help accommodate bottles and boxes of different heights. The cabinet's raised position, with roughly 12.5 cm clearance from the floor, makes cleaning underneath easier.
Moisture-resistant MDF according to the product description, metal components and a layout of doors and open shelves. Measure the available space carefully before buying.
Why this product fits the profile: This under-sink cabinet offers three drawers plus two compartments behind a door. It's designed for sinks with or without a pedestal and is aimed at households that want to make the most of the space under the basin.
The layout prevents small toiletries from getting lost in a single large compartment. Before assembly, check that the dimensions of your existing trap and sink are compatible with the cabinet design.
Three drawers, an adjustable shelf and a stated maximum static load capacity of 36.2 kg. An anti-tip kit is included.

Place the cabinet on a level surface and secure tall models with the provided anti-tip fitting. Tighten screws after assembly according to the instructions, without over-tightening MDF panels. For cleaning, a slightly damp cloth is usually sufficient; harsh cleaners and permanently wet surfaces can damage coatings and edges.
Also check hinges, drawer runners and wall fixings regularly. Without manufacturer specifications, it's impossible to give a general lifespan. It depends on factors such as humidity, load, assembly and care.
For tight floor plans, narrow tall cabinets with shallow depth and vertical storage are usually the most practical. Measure skirting boards, door openings and the distance to the shower or sink beforehand. Open shelves can make access easier, while doors keep the contents visually concealed.
MDF can be suitable for bathroom furniture if the surface and edges are protected against occasional moisture. The furniture should not stand in water. Wipe away splashes and condensation promptly and ensure adequate room ventilation.
A bathroom cabinet doesn't use any electricity unless it has electrical features. Ongoing costs mainly come from cleaning, possible replacement parts and, if needed, assembly. The purchase price depends on material, size, storage layout and features such as drawers or adjustable shelves.
