How we chose these wall storage cabinets
To be explicit when it comes to how we chose the wall storage cabinets in this guide: we've not had hands-on experience with these wall storage cabinets, however, we did carefully consider our picks against a number of criteria, including size, material, and functionality.
We selected cabinets that would largely be suitable in bathrooms, bedrooms and kitchens, and opted to include a range of styles to suit as many tastes as possible. Beyond that, we cross-checked our favorites with customer reviews, so rest assured only products of a high standard made it to our list.
What to consider when shopping wall storage cabinets
You'll want to keep in mind the following criteria when browsing for the best wall storage cabinets. Refer back to this list and we're confident you'll make a purchase that suits your home and will last for years to come.
Size
Think about where you will be hanging your new wall storage cabinet, and always check the dimensions of a product to make sure it will fit in your space. Aside from the length and width of the cabinet, you'll need to check the projection, or depth, to see how far it comes out the wall. For smaller spaces, opt for shallow cabinets, as these are less bulky but can still offer plentiful storage solutions.
Material
Wall cabinets are made from a variety of materials, such as hardwood (MDF, manufactured or acacia wood are popular types), plastic, glass, and brass, or a combination of multiple materials. If your wall cabinet is going to hang in your bathroom, you'll want to opt for a durable material that can withstand mold and mildew, like PVC or MDF. Otherwise, cabinets with glass doors look great and can be kept in good condition if you clean them regularly.
Shape
What shape would best complement your space? A standard wall cabinet is rectangular, but there are lots of modern designs like pentagonal and semi-circular cabinets that look great too.
Finish
Some cabinets come in one standard design, whereas others have multiple colors to choose from. Cabinets can also be matte, shiny, or textured, styles which can all look great if you wipe them down regularly with a soft cloth.
