Bathroom/Utility fitted cupboards

6 replies

We're turning our bathroom into a bathroom/utility and we'd like all the cupboards fully fitted. One wall will be bathroom cupboards (ideally drawers) so narrower width and then the adjoining wall will have the washer/dryer so standard kitchen size cabinets.

I'd like them to match, but I can't find anywhere that does both types of cabinet! I'm not averse to ordering two types of cupboards from two place and then ordering doors from a third place, but it seems to be overcomplicating things.

Does anyone know a bathroom place that also does utility cupboards, or a kitchen supplier that will do bathroom sizes too?

Just find a local joinery company that also does spraying or works in conjunction with a spray shop they are out there (if by any chance you’re in west Yorkshire I can give you a recommendation).

My joiner used wall units as bases for the bathroom area, and / or cut down kitchen cabinets, so they all had the same doors. If you have a joiner you use, chat to them about it.

IKEA do narrower units as well.

I don't quite understand what you mean by bathroom cupboards, but DIY Kitchens have a decent range of reduced depth units.

We have Ikea Metod kitchen cabinets in 2 bathrooms, all with drawer units of different sizes, and they look amazing (if I say so myself 😊). They are fitted with fronts by Superfront, pulls I bought online, and have metal legs instead of plinths, so no issue with water/humidity. The legs are not visible unless you are at floor level, so they look like they are floating.

It’s great to have the sinks at standard kitchen level, instead of lower as is usually the case for bathroom cabinets. And the extra depth means more storage inside, and more counter space.

I also have DIY kitchens units in a laundry room and a scullery, and they also look great.

Thanks for the pointers. We're probably getting the kitchen from DIY Kitchens so would make sense to use them but the reduced depth units tend to be cupboards not drawers. We can't really go full depth on the bathroom side as the bath room's very wide but not very deep/long.

I'll have a look at Ikea too. Though sounds like cobbling slim bathroom units from one supplier and standard kitchen units from another with doors from a third (will check out superfronts too) will probs be where we end up.
