Whenever we speak of the term "Bathroom Cabinet" what comes to our mind is the white box mounted above so many bathroom sinks. But there has been a lot of innovation and planning to Kitchen & Bathroom Cabinets recently. The modern bathroom cabinets are storage devices which are both stylish and functional.

Any cabinet inside the bathroom is referred to as a bathroom cabinet. The term often is used to describe bathroom vanities. They can have dimensions of as much as  32x 30x 22 inches. In large luxury bathrooms the bathroom cabinet is not simply a cabinet vanity but also a bathroom countertop, cabinet for medicines and many other accessories.

Bathroom cabinets are generally of three types - stock, semi-custom or modular and custom. The stock bathroom cabinets are produced on a mass basis and available in several standard styles and sizes. They are probably the least expensive type of bathroom cabinets available in the market. After that comes the semi custom or modular bathroom cabinet. They are also produced in mass but they give you flexibility in terms of design, construction, style and structure.

Many consumers prefer custom cabinetry. The term denotes that the cabinets are made according to the choice and preferences of the customer and custom built to their specification. Consequently, these types of cabinets are the most expensive ones.

There are numerous styles. As examples the following are listed by Home Depot in their Thomasville Line - Blakely Maple, Pearl Paint, Ashton Maple Natural, Camden Maple Butternut Glaze, Cottage Maple Cider & Cottage Cherry Cinnamon , Camden Maple Coffee Glaze, Eden Maple Cranberry, Mansfield Oak Natural, Piedmont Cherry Cinnamon, Hamlin Cherry Light, Langston Maple Wheat , Plaza Cherry Cinnamon, Villa Cherry Arch Brierwood, Terrace Thermofoil Cashmere and many more.

The Home Depot styles list the following: Amaretto Crème Glaze with Eden Oak Chocolate, Aberdeen Maple Burnt Sienna, Blakely Maple Palomino Glaze, Aberdeen Maple in Crimson, Camden Cherry Coffee Glaze, Ashton Maple Natural & Coffee Glaze, Blythe Maple Cider, Blythe Cherry Cinnamon, Braeburn Rustic Alder Burnt Sienna and many more.

Remember to plan well in advance of having this work done or attempting to do it yourself. Installing kitchen cabinets is a construction project that involves tearing out old cabinets and replacing them with the new ones. The process will make a lot of  noise and create mucho dust. You'll be unable to use your kitchen during the one to three weeks required for the complete installation process and one to three weeks maybe optimistic depending on the qualifications of your contractor and his crew and what they encounter when they embark on the work. Be ready to eat out a lot or to do a ton of takeout in the family room!
