7 Small Bathroom Basin Cabinets Ideas for Storage

7 Useful Small Bathroom Basin Cabinets Layout and Storage Ideas

Modern holiday homes often have small bathrooms, but what to do if you own such a home and want extra storage space while doing away with the clutter? Read on to discover small bathroom basin cabinets storage ideas that work regardless of your budget and style requirements.

As interior designers have often noted, with the compact design of the bathroom, it’s crucial to achieve a balanced look and feel. Doing so is possible with furniture that takes up less space while also offering a storage option to hide bottles, toiletries, towels and cleaning products. It’s no wonder basin cabinets have become so popular. Instead of having separate cupboards that take up more floor space, opt for a basin cupboard, enabling you to have a sunken basin whilst not losing storage space.

 

Idea 1: Hide those ugly pipes with basin cabinets

To hide plumbing pipes, such as the trap and waste, basin cabinets can be used. What is important is to choose a cupboard design that enables you to conceal the pipes but gives sufficient storage space and doesn’t protrude too much at the bottom and top. If you do install an upper mirror cabinet, make sure it doesn’t protrude over the basin as this can make it uncomfortable to brush your teeth or wash your face. Also, if the cabinet under the basin protrudes too much, it will take up essential floor space.

 

Idea 2: Make the cabinet a room feature, not just storage space

Every element in a small bathroom is important. It must have function, aesthetic appeal and style. With that in mind, consider ways to make the space around the basin more interesting. Add a towel hook or rack, toothbrush and soap unit, and don’t forget the mirror. Even if you decide not to add a vanity cabinet, do add an interesting mirror to complete the picture.

Idea 3: Don’t put all the pressure on the bathroom cabinets

Add shallow or floating shelves for small items or even face towels. Add a neat, enclosed laundry basket to hide dirty clothing. Add shelving above the toilet if there is not a window directly above it. Consider adding a hanging toiletries rack in the shower to help reduce the number of items that must be stored in the cupboards.

 

Idea 4: Correct lighting adds to the ambience and functionality of the bathroom

By installing warm-coloured LED strips under the counter or slightly hidden from sight, you add flattering light. You can also install a wall lamp rather than a ceiling light, giving a warmer atmosphere to the bathroom. In addition, having a light focussed on illuminating the area surrounding the mirror can take the attention away from cluttered areas.

 

Idea 5: Only put the items you’re willing to display in the open

A neat and elegant handwash dispenser adds style to the room. As such, it can be displayed in the open. But all the commercial shampoo, conditioner and face wash bottles are best kept hidden in the basin cupboard.

 

Idea 6: Eye-level bathroom cabinets for clutter-free surfaces

Shallow cupboards on the walls at eye level allow you to store small items away, keeping the surfaces free from clutter. The most important of cabinets is the basin cabinet because it is where you can store products that normally add clutter to the bath side. Every item hidden from clear sight adds to the neatness of the bathing space.

 

Idea 7: Make the most of the available space in the cupboard

You can add commercial cupboard interior steps to place bottles and other containers on. In this way, you create a pavilion layout in the cupboard, making it easier to access a specific item without having to unpack all the bottles.

 

Final thoughts

Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that the bathroom is too small for adding cabinets. The basin cabinet takes up the least amount of space because it makes it possible to have a sunken bowl. Since the space under the bowl would have been unoccupied and the pipes would have been visible, you get two functions in one – storage and concealing unsightly piping. Get started right away!

Free Standing Kitchens in 2022

Ideas for Free Standing Kitchens in 2022

If you had to spend all your time indoors during the highest levels of lockdown, you most probably also spent a considerable time in your kitchen and might just be in the mood to make a change in your home. But, for 2022, there is an outlook of hope, and you might even consider doing renovations. To this end, read on as we share a few ideas on free standing kitchens for this year.

 

The linear layouts are back in style

If something works, why change it? The linear layout has always worked well for small spaces, but what’s different now is that you can buy free standing kitchens to fit in the available space. These include single to double sink bowl units with cupboards underneath to full combination types. The latter includes a combination of a fridge, stove, microwave, oven, drawer, cupboard, draining board and sink. Of course, with several combinations available, you don’t have to include everything. The GEZA sink and storage units come with everything you need to get started. The sinks, for example, come with the waste and trap and the electric two-plate stoves are plug-in.

 

Freestanding kitchens allow you to go all out with extra storage space

kitchen unit - kitchen sinks - free standing kitchens If you have more wall space than offered in the conventional linear layout, you can add modular kitchen storage units to help you save on space. These are also free-standing, enabling you to move

them to the wall of choice. With this option, you have more flexibility when it comes to designing the layout. For instance, add a two-door, two-drawer cabinet with a countertop next to the sink with a draining board unit to create more workspace. Add a countertop shelf for open display of cups, glasses, spices and related items. Complete the picture with a vertical free standing grocery cabinet.

 

Adjustable shelving for more flexibility with free-standing kitchens

With the adjustable shelving trend, you can set the height of the upper shelving in the cupboard. This makes it possible to adjust the height for larger items, thereby minimising the need to place items on the countertop area.

 

Add colour to the kitchen

Although more free-standing kitchens are manufactured with white melamine finishes, it doesn’t mean your kitchen has to be all-white. Paint the walls in the latest trending colours for 2022. The contrast between white cupboards and a coloured wall will add a unique and modern twist to the kitchen’s appearance.

Kitchen Renovation Trends For 2022

Hot Trends in Space Saving Kitchen Renovations for 2022

True, you cannot remodel a kitchen every year just to be fashionable, but if you want to perform a few renovations in 2022, you might as well be part of the trendy group. Let’s get you started with an introduction to some of the hottest trends, including a few space-saving ones expected to last for at least a few years.

MOJO_Units - Kitchen Renovations

 

The linear layout is still the winner when it comes to space-saving Kitchen Renovations

More and more homes feature a linear layout with an island separating the wash-up and cook area from the dining room or lounge. With this layout, you can have the sink, cupboard underneath, the drainboard, a fridge, microwave or two-plate stovetop and an oven or another combination of the kind in one line. Everything is together, enabling you to move from the cooking area to the rinsing spot by taking only two or three steps. It’s ideal for an apartment, granny flat and even the minimalistic townhouse or smaller estate home. It’s also the perfect layout if you want to make a few foodie videos to share on your favourite social media platform.

 

Move away from all-white by adding colour to the walls and backsplash 

White will never go out of fashion, especially for small kitchen renovations as you need a light colour to make the space look bigger. Nothing does it better than white. But this doesn’t mean you should go all-white, although it could look great if done right. For 2022, the colour selected to be sizzling hot is nothing other than “very peri”.

Pantone, as the world’s trusted authority on colour, selected it. But, before you think it is all red or orange, they describe it as a blue hue with a bit of violet-red as the subtle undertone, which combines the passion and excitement that red brings with the reliability, hope and stability associated with blue. Now the “peri” might refer to the red undertone, but it can also play on the periwinkle-type blue that the company has noted as part of the colour. And since it incorporates a light splash of purple, it is an exciting idea to have a wall painted in a colour you wouldn’t expect to see in a kitchen.

It doesn’t imply that you should go all out and paint everything in very peri, but a backsplash or accent wall in the colour can do wonders to break up the white of the cupboards and guarantee that your kitchen colour renovations will be in style for some time to come.

Apart from Pantone’s selection, interior designers also seem to lean towards orange, lime and other colours to liven up the cooking environment.

 

Tiles are no longer out of fashion

For a while there, people thought tiles would never make a comeback for usage on kitchen walls. But, as with every design trend, we tend to go back to old styles that used to work well. Tiles still have a place because of characteristics like being easy to clean, hygienic and embodying the low maintenance standard. So, you don’t have to paint everything. Add tiles on the lower to the upper-middle section of the wall and backsplash areas. Choose the tile colour wisely to ensure it will not detract from the aesthetic appeal of the white melamine cupboards.

 

Go all combination

Newly built homes often have smaller kitchens. Perhaps renovations are not yet on the horizon, but you can still make a few changes to ensure you save space, enlarge the available walking space and save money in doing so. This is possible because of the latest trend of modular kitchen cupboards and combination units. These units feature the fridge, stove, microwave and sink units in one for optimal space-saving.

 

Mirror, mirror on the wall – which kitchen renovations are the fairest of them all?

Mirrors help to create the illusion of more space. If you have a large mirror on one of the walls, it can add a feeling of openness. In addition, the mirror adds aesthetic flair. Although not essential for space-saving when it comes to renovations, it does give the impression of a kitchen expansion or another room.

Smart Space Saving Kitchen Sinks and Storage Units

Clear Up Clutter with Smart Space Saving Kitchen Sinks and Storage Units

The kitchen is the heart of your home. It’s where you prepare food for your family, entertain guests, and share meals with loved ones. Since it is the place where we spend a lot of time cooking, cleaning and eating, it is also the area of the home that often has the most clutter. If you are looking for ways to make the cooking area more usable and reduce clutter, then this article shows you some great ideas for maximising the available room area and making it more functional with smart space-saving kitchen sinks and storage units, along with a few other useful ways to get the most value from one of the busiest rooms in your home.

Keep it neat with all-in-one modular kitchen sinks and storage units

The first thing to consider is the choice of storage units. You want to utilise every possible way for storing plates, cutlery, pots and pans, appliances, and groceries. If room area is limited, you need to create ways to store items that don’t need to be on display all the time. For this, we recommend one or more of the cabinets in our range. With these, you can store groceries in the upright cupboard, items such as spice bottles or glasses on the open shelving, and dinnerware in the cupboards beneath.

At the same time, you’ll have countertop areas for appliances, such as a kettle or toaster and to prepare food on. With the units being modular, you can mix, and match as needed.

3 Ways to maximise your kitchen space

For a small area, you may not have the luxury of adding extra drawers, an island and other means to get more work and storage facilities. As such, you need to be a bit more creative, by:

  • Using a wall as a shelf for cooking tools
  • Building a cabinet around the stove-top
  • Installing shelves under the sink

However, for truly smart ways to save floor and wall space, opt for the combination space saving kitchen sinks and storage units. We offer sinks and storage unit combinations. Let’s introduce you to the concept below.

Kitchen Sink, microwave, fridge and cupboard maxi unit 

Combine the cooking, cooling, washing and storage functionalities with this smart concept. The compact design helps to minimise floorkitchen sinks area usage. It comes with a 1500mm x 600mm stainless steel top, which also implies not having to deal with the risk of corrosion.

With the drop-in sink bowl on the end, featuring a swivel head goose-neck tap and the draining board to the side, you have ample workspace. It comes with an electric two-plate plug-in stove, 23L 800-Watt microwave and 120L Defy fridge. In addition, the unit features a cupboard underneath the sink with two sets of shelving, giving you ample storage area.

We also offer the particular unit with its white melamine finish as a stove with oven, sink, cupboards and microwave without the fridge. View the combination unit’s information here. With our maxi-units, you get everything needed for a complete kitchen with minimal floor area usage.

Combination storage units with space-saving kitchen sinks

Talk about smart space saving kitchen sinks and storage units, and our modular cabinet units come to mind. For instance, start with the drop-in sink with a swivel head tap that has a double door cabinet beneath and a stainless-steel drainboard.

Add a two-door, two-drawer unit next to it and you have more work area together with a cabinet for storing kitchenware. Make the most of the available area by adding the counter-top open shelving for items you want to showcase or don’t mind being on display. You still have the counter-top area for placement of an appliance and to work on, but you can also make maximum use of the vertical area above it. Store cutlery and the like in the drawers.

Complete the picture with the tall grocery cabinet and you have a stylish, yet affordable and space-saving kitchen.

Final thoughts on how to make the best use of a small cooking area

Use the vertical space wisely for shelving and hanging pots or pans. Also, utilise the wall as an added place for shelving or hooks. Minimise floor usage with a selection of modular storage units, along with one of our smart space saving kitchen sinks.

See how it all comes together with our selection of modular sinks and storage units.

If you still do not have enough space, think about hiring a self storage unit for extra items and seasonal clothes etc.  The price of a storage unit is reasonable on a monthly basis.

Easy Tips To Keep Bathroom Basins Clean & Neat

Easy Tips for Keeping Bathroom Basins and Mirrors Clean and Neat

Bathroom basins are among the most-used fixtures in our homes. Apart from purchasing a unit with a cupboard underneath to organise and store toiletries, such as this toilet and ceramic basin unit with a stylish wrapped melamine cupboard, what else can you do to keep the basin area spotless?

For one, a regular cleaning goes a long way to keep the area pristine and hygienic, especially focusing on removing spots and spills from surfaces as well as residue from the waste and trap. Tough, for everyday cleaning of basins, you don’t want to perform the latter step as it can cause damage to the surfaces. Read on to discover how you can keep bathroom basins and mirrors neat and clutter-free.

Store beauty products elsewhere

Don’t let nail cleaner, polish, scissors or make-up take over the side of the basin. Apart from the chemicals that can cause stains, any metal items will rust due to constant water exposure, leaving unsightly marks on the surface. Use the cupboard underneath the basin to store the beauty products and metal items, which should be kept on the bottom shelf. In this way, the basin’s surface will remain scratch-free as well.

Small Basin VanityWipe the basin clean after every use

A daily rinse and wipe will help to remove any toothpaste, cream, soap or related residue that can cause discolouring of the surface. In doing this, your basin will be free from sticky residue and stay spotless.

Remove rust marks

If rust marks have already developed at the drain hole, use a household rust removal spray or liquid to get rid of the marks.

Prevent water residue marks on taps

Keep the chrome taps on bathroom basins and tubs shiny by regularly polishing them using a damp drying cloth.

Keep mirrors shiny

Prevent streaks from forming on the mirrors by dusting the mirrors before cleaning them. Once they are dust-free, you can spray a glass cleaning detergent over the entire surface before wiping it clean with a micro-fibre cloth. You can use shaving foam to reduce fog build-up. Simply spray the foam onto the surface and polish it using a lint-free soft cloth.

Keeping basins clean also entails keeping the drains unclogged. Use baking soda for this task. Simply sprinkle it into the drain hole and then add vinegar. Leave it standing for a few minutes before rinsing it through with warm water. This will help to remove toothpaste and grime build-up in the waste and trap.

Now that you know how to keep your bathroom shiny and clean, view our basin unit with cupboard which offers you ample space to keep beauty products and metal items stored away and leave your bathroom area organised and clutter-free. Order your unit and we will deliver it to your door.

Starting Guide on Compact Modular Kitchen Units

The Basic Components of Compact Modular Kitchen Units: Your Starting Guide 

Cooking has become a social event. And even with the smallest of spaces, you’ll want to create a cooking area that’s functional, compact, and inviting. Keep it in mind when you shop for modular kitchen units. To get you started, let’s look at the basic components required, whether you need solutions for a studio apartment, bachelor flat, or self-catering holiday accommodation.

Melamine-stoveCooking appliances

Whether you opt for a microwave oven, one- or two-plate countertop stove, an oven with two plates or a complete stove and oven, you need something to warm, cook and prepare meals. With combination kitchen units, you can have the stove, microwave, and sink in one area to save space.

An example is the Maxi stove, sink, fridge, and microwave oven. It’s one of the all-in-one space-saving solutions for people on the go who have small cooking spaces. Of course, this option also works well in self-catering cottages or guest flats. With people not likely to bake and roast when on holiday or when they’re visiting, there’s less need for an oven. In this case, the microwave acts as an oven too. It’s neatly fitted into the space that would have been taken up by the conventional oven. On top is a two-plate stove, also built-in, giving you a full stove unit that takes up less space.

The unit also includes a stainless-steel top area that can be used as the dry board area of the sink or a workspace to prepare food. The single drop-in sink comes with a swivel goose-neck spout and on-deck design. The spout can be moved out of the way to fit large bowls.

Underneath is a hinged two-door cupboard with fixed bottom shelving and adjustable upper shelving. The fridge fits in between the sink cupboard and the microwave section. With the microwave not giving off the amount of heat that a built-in oven does, you don’t have to worry about heat surrounding the fridge.

It comes fitted with a 120L Defy fridge, giving you ample cold food storage space. The Samsung 23L, 800-watt microwave is also sizeable. Have a look at the maxi stove, sink, fridge and microwave oven.

Wash space

The area is rather useless if the dishes pile up with nowhere to get washed. As such, sinks are important components in modular kitchen units. If you have a separate fridge and stove, and only need a sink to complete the picture, consider the double bowl sink to allow for a wash and rinse space in one. With two bowls, you can use the one for vegetable rinsing and the other to rinse the detergent residue from dishes without having to wash, drain and then rinse in the same sink bowl.

These sink and cupboard units offer ample storage space with three cupboards underneath the stainless-steel sink and dry board area. In addition, it includes a drawer for utensils. Also fitted with a swivel goose-neck spout that serves both sink bowls, the unit type saves space while giving you a work area, dry space, and double sink in one.

Storage

Unless it’s a kitchenette that doesn’t allow room for adding more cupboards, you’ll want a grocery cupboard, shelving for the cups or spices, drawer for holding utensils and a cupboard in which to store appliances and dinnerware. Depending on the available space, you can add more modular kitchen units to meet your storage requirements.

Have a look at examples of kitchen storage units here.

Cooling

Keeping fresh produce cool is essential to preserving its freshness, saving money, ensuring food safety, and improving hygiene in the kitchen environment. If you don’t have enough space for a large fridge, consider purchasing a combination solution that includes a fridge. The stove, fridge and sink mini and maxi solutions work well for this purpose. These include the sink, dry board area, cupboard, fridge, and stovetop with two cooking plates. The maxi unit features two additional cupboards along with the single sink unit.

Space-saving Tips for Kitchen Cupboards in a Small Spaces

Space-saving Tips for Using Kitchen Cupboards in a Small Space

If you have a small kitchen, then you know how difficult it can be to fit many kitchen cupboards and devices into the space. We make it easier with compact cabinets and all-in-one units. Apart from these solutions, you can save more space and keep the area organised with the tips shared below.

The best layout for a small kitchen

The U-shaped layout for kitchen cupboards works best for small spaces, but if the room is too small and you only have space for a single line, rather opt for an all-in-one unit. This will make it possible to fit a drop-in sink, dry board, cupboards underneath it, stove or microwave, and fridge in the area.

If you have a slightly larger room, maximise the space with the single all-in-one maxi unit on the one side and one of the storage units, such as an option with double doors and a grocery storage unit. You can opt for a drop-in sink unit together with the grocery storage unit and open shelves.

How to maximise storage space in a small kitchen

Combination units that include a stove to a sink, a fridge, and a dry area, as well as cupboards, are the best solutions for maximising storage space. In addition, you can do the following:

  • Fit hooks for hanging cloths, cups, utensils and pans on the walls.
  • Invest in a space-saving spice rack.
  • Don’t let the windowsill go to waste – add a rack for drying or your dishwashing equipment.
  • Pegboards can be used for keys and other small items that can be hung up.
  • Use the countertop space available on the cabinet storage units.
  • Get a small fold-up table that you can store next to the sink unit to use when you need an extra workspace.
  • Fit hooks and hang up small, folding chairs to use when needed.
  • Use the space on the top of the shelves and storage units to store items you don’t often use.
  • Make the most of under-sink storage space using stack bins to categorise and store sponges, scrubbers, bottles and cloths.
  • Buy or make a drawer divider for the cupboard drawers and organise the utensil placement accordingly as this will help to reduce the risk of stuck drawers.
  • Use the grocery cabinet door’s inside as an extra storage space – just add small shelves to them and place small items on the shelves.
  • If you don’t have countertop space for spice bottles, add a drawer organiser and lay the bottles on their sides in the drawer.
  • Hang a towel bar with hooks on the wall where you can place pots, pans and utensils.
  • Fit open shelves or planks to any open wall areas for placement of pasta, biscuit or oil containers.
  • Add spice bottle clips to the inside of cabinet doors to store bottles.
  • Get a wire rack with shelves to store canned food in the cupboards.
  • Reduce the size of light fixtures by adding small under-lights to cabinets and shelves.
  • Utilise the backsplash of the cabinets and over the sink all-in-one unit to hang items or fit small shelves.
  • Add risers to shelves to stack items in pavilion style, helping you to find what you need quicker.
  • Purchase smaller appliances and avoid opting for the largest stove or microwave.

With the all-in-one units available from us, you can save space because the stove and fridge are smaller, and the overall design of the unit is compact. We offer modular kitchen cupboards enabling you to change the room layout according to the available space. Our storage units include:

  • Get waterproof shelving installed in the shower for shampoo and other washing supplies.

An excellent option on a shower that’s ideal for small bathrooms is a corner unit, as it takes up less floor area and doesn’t feature sharp ends that can cause injury in a cramped space. See our gorgeous glass corner unit if you’re looking for an inexpensive shower cubicle.

 

Four Finishing touches for completing the picture

After deciding on the shower cubicle, toilet and basins, there’s still work to do before the masterpiece is complete. Here’s how you can make a tight space look bigger:

 

Don’t overdo the décor – Too many patterns and colours can easily mimic the feeling of clutter and make people feel claustrophobic. Choose one part to be the unique focal point, for example, an accent wall behind the basin. This way you get to showcase your talent without overwhelming your guests.

 

Forget the cosy rugs – In a large bathroom, it makes sense to have foot rugs at the basin, toilet, shower and bath. However, if there isn’t a lot of floor space, rugs can quickly make the place look tacky instead of comfortable. These can also make it difficult to clean, and mini rooms already require more regular cleaning than large ones. Avoid placing unnecessary items in the room and rather spend money on picking chic essential pieces.

 

Install a sky-light – The more natural light you let in, the less it will feel like the space is tiny. Consider big windows or a nature wall-vinyl if you can’t break out the walls. Natural touches create the feeling of a fresh and relaxing environment. A hanging plant, bamboo basket or even a pebbled floor can add to the earthy ambience. Most people associate nature with freedom and open space. You can also go for hints of blue and seashells for a similar effect, if the ocean is more your style.

 

Create inserts for storage areas – As with our previously mentioned basins, our small wall-mounted basins also come equipped with cupboards at the bottom, as well as an extra behind-mirror one. To maximise these spaces, you can either buy or make your own insert for toiletries and washing essentials. It’s easier for household members to remember where to put items after they’ve been used if the cupboards are organised. Proper organisation reduces the risk of a room becoming untidy with brushes and vanity products.
