Why open shelving is useful and why we are loving it.
In the world of interior design, bathroom furniture with open shelving has emerged as a prominent trend, attracting the attention of homeowners and designers alike. This contemporary approach to bathroom organisation not only adds a touch of style to the space but also offers practical benefits that consider aesthetics and functionality.
One of the main reasons why open shelving is becoming more popular in bathrooms is its ability to create a more dynamic space. Unlike traditional cabinets, which can make a bathroom feel closed off and minimal, open shelving offers an opportunity to display special items and encourage an airy and open atmosphere.
From a design perspective, open shelving provides an opportunity to showcase decorative pieces and accessories, adding personality and character to the space. These shelving units serve as a canvas for creativity, allowing homeowners to personalise their bathrooms with elegant jars filled with bath salts, lush green plants, or stylish baskets for storing towels, according to their particular tastes and preferences.
The Delta has a unique, elongated rectangular shape with an open central shelf, an ideal place to show off something special in the bathroom. You can place items directly on the shelves or use trays or containers to hold things together in an elegant way. The Ona collection trays are a great fit for this space, and the different elements can be mixed and matched to create a fresh look.

Flexibility is another reason why people are drawn to open shelves. They offer flexibility in terms of furniture design options and storage possibilities. The Tura collection, for example, includes several designs that feature both open and closed shelving options in various configurations, providing storage solutions for every need.
Open shelves combined with closed drawers or shelves gives a clean and modern look. Add a subtle wooden shelf to highlight cute trays and objects, while storing less attractive but essential items in the drawer. Tura also offers elegant felt boxes that fit perfectly into the open shelving units. This consideration for mobile and flexible storage use is mindful of our ever-changing lifestyles.

Open shelving units bring organisation and accessibility to the bathroom space, making it easier to locate and retrieve essentials. Items such as towels, toiletries, skincare products, and other everyday items can be neatly arranged on the shelves, eliminating the need to rummage through cluttered cabinets. The spacious open shelving in the Tenor collection double basin furniture units provides easy accessibility. This lower shelf unit is discreet yet spacious, making it ideal for basic storage needs. Additionally, attractive boxes or baskets can be added to the open shelf to discreetly hide certain items.
Including an open side shelf can make your daily routine easier by providing easy access to essentials. It can also improve the functionality of your bathroom. Contrary to common perceptions, this design element is not just for larger bathrooms, it can work in compact powder rooms as well as spacious master bathrooms. The Tenue furniture unit with open side shelf, for example, complements various settings, enhancing both aesthetics and utility.

The Mini Pro is designed for smaller spaces. However, an open shelf adds storage possibilities without taking away additional space and creates a more open look. Open shelving units offer endless possibilities for storing bathroom essentials. Towels can be neatly folded and displayed on lower shelves or in related boxes for easy access. Decorative containers can hold smaller items such as cotton swabs, bath bombs, and beauty products. Plants and artwork can add visual interest, transforming the bathroom into a tranquil retreat.
Bathroom furniture with open shelving is a popular trend for many useful and practical reasons. By maximizing space, maintaining organisation, and offering versatility in design, these shelving units elevate the design and style of any bathroom, making them a must-have for modern homeowners seeking both beauty and functionality in their living spaces.
