Clean lines and open spaces are the cornerstone of contemporary bathroom design, and float cabinets take those concepts to the next level. These suspended cabinets, mounted to the wall with no visible base, bring a sense of openness and lightness to the space. For those seeking a refined, minimalist look, float cabinets are a defining feature of today’s luxury bathrooms.
What Are Float Cabinets?
Float cabinets are a modern cabinetry style designed to appear as though they are suspended or “floating” off the ground. Unlike traditional floor-standing cabinets, float cabinets are mounted directly to the wall, leaving an open space beneath them. They’re often used in contemporary designs to add a sense of lightness and sophistication, making rooms feel more spacious while still offering ample storage. Float cabinets are popular in high-end, modern bathrooms for their ability to create a visually uncluttered space.
Float cabinets create the illusion of added space. For urban homes, this is huge. Those looking for modern bathroom designs in New York City find that maximizing every inch of the space is crucial.
At MandiCasa, we specialize in Italian-made cabinetry that embodies this contemporary ethos. Each piece is crafted with precision, balancing clean lines with the elegance of fine materials. The result? Bathrooms that feel sophisticated yet effortless.
A Designer’s Tips for Incorporating Float Cabinets
Use Balanced Colors
The finish of your cabinets and materials can drastically influence the mood of the bathroom. Our designers love pairing float cabinets with a blend of natural hues. High-pressure laminates, woods, ceramics, cement, melamine, lacquers, and metal finishes come together to complement the design and provide interesting visual contrasts. Italian design is rooted in balance, and this play of textures can elevate the bathroom from a functional space to a spa-like retreat.
Careful Placement
When installing float cabinets, placement is key. Mounting the cabinets too high can make the bathroom feel disconnected, while placing them too low reduces the sense of openness and makes cleaning more difficult. Ideally, the base of the cabinet should be around 12 to 15 inches above the floor for optimal visual flow and comfort.
Consider Integrated Lighting
Under-cabinet LED strips can be hidden to cast a soft glow that enhances the floating effect while providing functional lighting for nighttime use. This is particularly striking in bathrooms with darker tile or wood flooring.
The Luxury of Italian Craftsmanship
Float cabinets from MandiCasa are not just about aesthetics. They are a reflection of Italian craftsmanship, with every detail accounted for—from the blend of symmetric and asymmetric shapes to the soft-closing hardware.
