Natural Beauty: Transforming Your Bathroom with Timber Vanities
Timber Bathroom Vanities continue to be one of the hottest trends in the interior design industry. The warmth of natural timber creates a perfect balance with the harder materials traditionally used in bathrooms. They are a stylish way to add both beauty and functionality to your home’s bathroom and come in a range of designs, styles and configurations that can be tailored perfectly to your requirements.
Unlike the melamine and veneer constructions found in many of the off-the-shelf vanities sold at plumbing stores, solid timber is incredibly durable and repairable. Scratches, dents and water damage to the surface of timber can all be repaired easily with a bit of elbow grease and a bit of paint or wood stain. Timber vanities also provide more flexibility in the drawer and cabinetry layout, allowing you to design a vanity that is uniquely yours with plenty of storage space.
There are several different types of timber available in Australia and each has its own unique character that can add a distinctive flair to your bathroom. From the rich warm reds of Messmate and Jarrah to the blonde Scandinavian tones of American Oak and Australian Chestnut, there is a type of timber that can fit every aesthetic. Solid Timber Bathroom Vanities are available in single and double basin configurations. This means you can find a bathroom vanity to suit any family’s needs.
While solid timber vanities are extremely durable, they do need to be cared for properly to ensure their long-term beauty. This is because timber can swell when exposed to moisture for extended periods of time and can cause cracks or warping in a painted finish. The best way to avoid this is to make sure there is good ventilation in your bathroom and to wipe away any water spills as soon as they occur.
Another benefit of a solid timber vanity is that it can be designed to accommodate a variety of different countertops. From the sleek, modern look of quartz stone to the classic elegance of granite, there is a countertop to suit any bathroom style. You can even combine timber with a combination of countertop materials to create a truly custom look.
If you’re designing a new bathroom, it can be easy to lose track of your initial vision when choosing fixtures and fittings. That’s why it is so important to get your designs drawn up, to scale and include layout plans, elevation views and 3D renderings. This will help you keep a clear focus on your vision for the room and ensure that all the elements you’ve selected work together.
A badly designed vanity can have a big impact on your overall bathroom design and the functionality of your space. It’s essential that you take the time to get it right from the start so you can enjoy your beautiful new bathroom for years to come. By shopping at a specialist timber store you can access expert advice and ensure your vanity is designed to perfection.
