How to Select Bathroom Cabinet Doors

You definitely want your bathroom cabinet doors to look good, but you also want them to function efficiently. As you explore cabinet door options for your bathroom wall cabinet or explore bathroom vanity cabinets, make sure you choose a style that you can imagine looking at for years to come. Make sure it fits with your design aesthetic, but it also needs to fulfill your storage needs in that space. The two needs should go hand-in-hand, so don’t allow one to overshadow the other.

Should Your Bathroom Cabinet Doors Match Your Kitchen Cabinet Doors?

Yes and no. Traditionally your bathroom, laundry room and kitchen will all have matching cabinets, in design and color. This is the safest bet if you're preparing to sell your home. But there are a lot of options when it comes to doing something a little different while still tying in the overall look of the home.

Same Door Style, Different Color

You can incorporate the same door style in every room, but with a different finish to complement that specific room. Go for an all-wood stained kitchen, with white bathroom cabinet doors, or vice versa. If you choose all white in your kitchen, then do a darker, or light accent color in the bathrooms. Whatever you choose make sure to use colors and wood types that you love!

  

Mix and Match Raised and Inset Panel

Mixing and matching raised and inset panel doors are the perfect way to give each room its own design while still complimenting each other. You can go with a mitered joint like the Delaware cabinet door in the kitchen, with the Wilmington door in the bathrooms, or vice versa. The Heritage door and the Adobe cabinet door feature a cope and stick joint, and just like the previously mentioned doors, would give you a consistent look without being too matchy.

Small Bathroom?  Keep it Simple.

Bathrooms, even spacious ones in master suites, often benefit from a minimalist design approach. Both the Shaker and Artesia cabinet doors embrace simplicity with their cope and stick joints. Similarly, the Danish and Aspen doors exude understated elegance through their mitered joints. Opting for lighter wood shades, or perhaps a white paint finish, can enhance the spacious feel of a bathroom without making it feel cluttered.

Always Have A Budget

Ensure you set a feasible budget and select products that align with what you're willing to spend. Whether it's the material of the cabinet, the finishing touches, or the hardware, there are numerous ways to achieve the desired look for your bathroom cabinet doors within your financial means. To economize on bathroom cabinets, consider opting for cost-effective wood varieties. While bathroom cabinets should be resilient to humidity and temperature variations, there are several materials, like maple, oak, and appropriately sealed MDF, that are both durable and budget-friendly for such conditions.
