Today\u2019s furniture\ncollections are mostly modular and adaptable to any space, both in\nwidth and depth. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>narrow\nbut spacious bathroom cabinet <\/strong>can have\na minimum depth of 36 cm, less than the standard (50 cm). This leaves\nenough space for a person to move around with ease, even considering\nthe depth of the drawers (or width of the cabinet doors). Unlimited\nmodular choices in modern bathroom furniture allow for the addition\nof wall units and columns not necessarily adjacent to the sink but\nalso positioned on the other walls, provided there is sufficient\nspace and depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"717\"  height=\"1024\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  data-id=\"4028\"  data-link=\"https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/?attachment_id=4028\"  class=\"wp-image-4028 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 717px) 100vw, 717px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/come-arredare-bagno-lungo-e-stretto-07-ideagroup-717x1024.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/come-arredare-bagno-lungo-e-stretto-07-ideagroup-717x1024.jpg 717w, https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/come-arredare-bagno-lungo-e-stretto-07-ideagroup-210x300.jpg 210w, https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/come-arredare-bagno-lungo-e-stretto-07-ideagroup-768x1097.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/come-arredare-bagno-lungo-e-stretto-07-ideagroup-380x543.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/come-arredare-bagno-lungo-e-stretto-07-ideagroup-800x1143.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/come-arredare-bagno-lungo-e-stretto-07-ideagroup.jpg 1050w\" ><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"717\"  height=\"1024\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  data-id=\"4030\"  data-link=\"https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/?attachment_id=4030\"  class=\"wp-image-4030 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 717px) 100vw, 717px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/come-arredare-bagno-lungo-e-stretto-06-ideagroup-717x1024.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/come-arredare-bagno-lungo-e-stretto-06-ideagroup-717x1024.jpg 717w, https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/come-arredare-bagno-lungo-e-stretto-06-ideagroup-210x300.jpg 210w, https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/come-arredare-bagno-lungo-e-stretto-06-ideagroup-768x1097.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/come-arredare-bagno-lungo-e-stretto-06-ideagroup-380x543.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/come-arredare-bagno-lungo-e-stretto-06-ideagroup-800x1143.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ideagroup.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/come-arredare-bagno-lungo-e-stretto-06-ideagroup.jpg 1050w\" ><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figcaption style=\"margin-top:-10px !important\">In the photo: a floor-mounted base unit with shallow drawers (36 cm deep).
