If you appreciate its texture but think a more practical material is better for your bathroom, or want to spend less, there are many valid alternatives with surfaces similar to wood (with the knots, colours and grain of the natural species realistically reproduced). The most popular are wood-effect ceramics and HPL laminates, also used for designer washbasins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1024\"  height=\"684\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-2516 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/legno-mobili-bagno-ideagroup-10-1024x684.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/legno-mobili-bagno-ideagroup-10-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/legno-mobili-bagno-ideagroup-10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/legno-mobili-bagno-ideagroup-10-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/legno-mobili-bagno-ideagroup-10-380x254.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/legno-mobili-bagno-ideagroup-10-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/legno-mobili-bagno-ideagroup-10-1160x775.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/legno-mobili-bagno-ideagroup-10.jpg 1497w\" ><figcaption>Robust HPL for the Ny\u00f9 Collection: also available for washbasins, which boast a very realistic wood-effect finish.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"do-you-think-nyu-suits-you-better-see-here\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Do you think Ny\u00f9 suits you better? <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ideagroupbathrooms.com\/prodotto\/nyu-elegant-bathroom-furniture\/\" target=\"_blank\">See here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"maintenance\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">MAINTENANCE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With regard to <strong>maintenance of wooden furniture in the bathroom<\/strong>, just a little more attention is enough to keep them in good condition over time: not intact, but still attractive. Because, as we said, wood is living matter and as such will change with you and your home. It is advisable to always dry water drops and splashes immediately so that they cannot infiltrate the wood. Bear in mind that not all detergents can be used for cleaning: apply a soft cloth with a non-abrasive, neutral detergent in the direction of the grain, followed by a damp cloth to remove residual detergent, and then dry the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SeIf you\u2019re still not convinced, come and examine our wooden bathroom furniture hands-on: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ideagroupbathrooms.com\/find-your-nearest-point-of-sale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">pop into your nearest showroom<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reflecting on the 2019 edition of Cersaie, the Italian trade fair dedicated to cladding and bathroom furniture, we&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2485,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[197],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2529","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bathroom-furniture-inspirations"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Wood is fantastic, even for bathroom furniture - Ideagroup Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"If you\u2019re still in doubt about using wood for bathroom furniture, this article is for you!
