One of the basic principles of the Scandinavian-style bathroom from IKEA is open free space. The smaller the area of the room, the less should be the pieces of furniture and decor. The washbasin cabinets are mounted and have a glossy surface that reflects light, thereby increasing the space of the room. The more open shelves, the better.The shelves are functional and at the same time create a feeling of lightness and weightlessness, if they are not overloaded with bathroom amenities and cosmetics. Became popular wooden shelves, narrow canisters, wicker laundry baskets.
If preference is given to wall cabinets, you should pay attention to models with translucent doors. In contrast to the blind facades, they look more concise, open and facilitate the search for the right things.

All models of furniture from IKEA are quite practical. High narrow canisters are gaining popularity, in which you can put both small items and bulk bottles with household chemicals.

For those who like to put makeup on in the bathroom, the cabinets with mirrors are equipped with LED lights with warm daylight.
