Make the face of a high cupboard easy to use

The Ferryhill shower room in Aberdeen uses cupboards above the toilet as well as fitted storage beneath and beside the basin. The high cupboard fronts are part of a continuous room elevation, but they will be opened from a different standing position from the lower ones. That makes their handles and hinges decisions in their own right.

For an above-toilet cabinet, test the reachable part of the door with the toilet drawn in place. Consider where you can stand and whether the door can be held comfortably while taking something out. Try the handle shape and discuss the hinge side before settling on a matching set for every door. A repeated finish can keep the room looking consistent while the small details suit the way each cupboard is used. This is the kind of practical distinction a fitted layout can accommodate.
