bathroom cabinetry- not typical finishes?

4 years ago

I’m needing a 72” double sink vanity to replace builder grade one that there now. It’s set into a niche that’s 74” wide so I don’t want to go with a premade one bc of gaps on sides, not easy to clean between wall, etc. so I’m needing a cabinet maker to make me one, simple configuration, not floating, etc.

I’m looking for something that seems hard to find or maybe I’m not asking the right questions. I want some type of modern wood grain (as opposed to painted flat, or big box/kraftmaid/etc version). Here are a few pics of what I’m thinking (more the color/wood style). I just don’t know what this is. Is it solid stained wood? (which seems like it wouldn’t be good for bathroom). Who would even make that, not a typical cabinet company? I’m not wanting the typical shaker door in gray/stained/painted.

I wouldn’t want something like Formica (or would I?), that seems a little cheap and doctors-office looking (although they DO have a lot of really nice wood look finishes) but I don’t think that would look right in a bathroom. What should I be looking for? A kitchen/bath place but again the have these set door colors and nothing seems to be the finish I like.

Your picture is a wood door that is stained

Depending on your budget find a good local custom cabinet shop or a high quality semi-custom.

I have wood stained vanities in my bathroom and there are no issues. I am not spray them with water and my bathroom is well ventilated and has a great fan that operates based on ambient humidity level. FWIW you don't want a humid bathroom whatever the materials are as you will get mold and mildew on any surface such as teh tiles and the sheet rock walls.

I think you need to physically visit good cabinet stores to see what is available in semi-custom or custom and price those out.

FWIW I have custom stuff done by a local company. I looked at lots of aspirational photos and decided I wanted rift sawn white oak wood. I then worked with him to decide the exact store. Everything about these was custom as the doors were special designed and the internal configuration was as well.

Thanks that helps! I am having a hard time finding that in my area, I will do
Some more digging. I had a Carpenter make me a tv unit years back and even he used a type of wood veneer which he stained. Im not wanting to go with a laminate/Formica but I might have to.
