Picking Bathroom Cabinets

It would seem that one of the easiest parts of renovating a bathroom is picking out bathroom cabinets.  You need to know much space you need, and the amount of storage you want in a cabinet. However, many folks have learned the hard way that there might just be more to this than choosing the right size and the right design.

For example you won't want young children to be in your bathroom cabinet. Cabinets are not made for little hands, and most children have a hard time opening them. Kids can manage to hurt ther fingers. As children get older, they have more reasons to be in the bathroom cabinet, but still can’t open them without hurting their hands. Consider safety and ease of operation when selecting your bathroom cabinets.

Also, you want to spend money on a bathroom cabinet that you can easily fix or get replacement parts for. Our daughter opened one of the doors on ours too far, and the mirror cracked in the corner. In other cases, we might have been able to get a replacement, but that is not the case with this particular bathroom cabinet. My husband has to find a way to remove the mirror and replace it without destroying the rest of it. This could be interesting.

You may think there is no reason for your child to get into your bathroom cabinet, or to even keep anything in there, but the truth is that they will get in there if they want to. In fact, the more you forbid them to get into it, the sooner they will be climbing up to find out what is so interesting. If you have one that is safe for them, and that they can use on their own (perhaps a bottom shelf) they will be less likely to have problems with it and won’t be as fascinated. Then perhaps you won’t have the same problems with it that I did. Much like anything else, if it seems like it is off limits they will be drawn to it, but if it seems like a part of everyday life, they won’t give it much thought.
