The colour of high cupboards affects the view at eye level as well as the amount of storage provided. Our Kingswells shower room combines white sparkle panels with fitted basin furniture and extra cupboards above the toilet. Dark flooring gives the pale room a contrasting base.
If you are planning cupboards at several heights, compare all their fronts with the surrounding walls at once. Decide whether the upper storage should be a strong feature or sit within a quieter backdrop. Check the upper cabinet finish at its proposed height, where it may receive a different amount of daylight. Remember that these doors will be seen alongside the mirror and everyday washing fittings. A coordinated choice can let storage occupy useful wall space without requiring every cupboard to become a separate decorative statement.
