Floating Cabinets
Designer: Gunter R. Sprang
In order to create a cleaner, more open feel, many of the latest bathroom designs are eliminating cabinet legs and toekicks in favor of floating, wall-mounted units. This leaves a large open area beneath the cabinets that makes the room feel more spacious. Gunter R. Sprang recognized that his client's large farmhouse provides plenty of wide open spaces, except in this one particular bathroom. Sprang's use of floating cabinets was just one method he used to make this room feel as open as the rest of the home. Installing large mirrors, spacing fixtures just right, and flooding the room with light also add to the spacious feel, while a glass-encased display of sand and shells separating the two stone counters adds an unexpected element that ties in very well with the rest of the room.
