Bathroom Hutches
A hutch is the piece that turns a run of bathroom cabinetry into something closer to a dressing room. It sits on the back of a countertop unit, adds shelves at eye level, and gives a place for the things that would otherwise sit on the counter. In a large bathroom with a long wall, a hutch is what stops the wall above the vanity from being empty.
These are made in the modular series, Addison, Athens and De Soto, so a hutch, a countertop unit and a vanity from the same collection line up at the same depth and share a finish. Widths are the small ones, 30 to 36 inches, since a hutch is meant to occupy part of a wall rather than all of it.
Building a run
The usual arrangement is a vanity at one end, a countertop unit next to it, and the hutch on top of the countertop unit. One slab colour across the whole run ties it together, and the hutch breaks up what would otherwise be a long horizontal line. Where a wall is longer still, a drawer unit fills the gap between two cabinets.
Open shelving in a bathroom
Open storage in a wet room only works if what goes on it is worth looking at. Folded towels, glass jars and a plant hold up; plastic bottles do not. If most of what you need to store is the second kind, a linen cabinet with doors will serve better and keep the room calmer.
