Key Takeaway
Many people like having a minimal look in their bathroom. There is nothing quite like having a nice clean and tidy bathroom without lots of bits and pieces strewn around the room. Obviously there are things we all need to use in the bathroom, like shampoo and conditioner, but you don't really want everything out in view all the time.
Can Bathroom Cabinets Help Achieve Minimalism?
So can bathroom cabinets help you achieve this minimalist look?
Good News
The good news is that you can, because there are plenty of cabinets you can buy that are big enough to enable you to put everything away out of sight. You may need to install more cabinets to really make this a reality, but you will find that it is worth doing so.
Planning Your Storage Strategy
The main thing to do initially is to measure up your bathroom walls to see how you can install enough bathroom cabinets to keep everything out of sight. Remember that you can have floor standing cabinets as well as wall mounted ones, but it will depend on how much room you have available. You don't necessarily want to have lots of cabinets everywhere because that can make it look cluttered as well. You will have to figure out which method is best for you, because we all have differing amounts of items to put away.

Assessing Your Storage Needs
The key here is to take a look at what you have available that you want to get out of sight. How many cabinets will it take to do that? For instance you may want to put all your towels out of sight as well, which will ensure you have nothing in view at all. As soon as you wash all the towels and they are dry, you can fold them all and put them away.

Balancing Minimalism and Functionality
As you can see, there is a lot to think about if you really want to achieve a total minimalist look. Some would say it is a good idea to have less cabinets and put your towels elsewhere, which is of course another solution you could go for. In the end you might want to look at how much space you have elsewhere for things like towels, particularly if you have a small bathroom. Achieving a minimalist look in a small bathroom will be trickier because you have a lot less space to contend with. And having too many cabinets can mean you end up with a cluttered look.
