Decide on the material and design to make your floating bathroom furniture

Keep in mind that if you choose wood , it will be heavier than MDF, but it will also be easier to make, since you won't have to edgeband the edges , so you'll save yourself that work. And it will also be more durable, even though MDF is cheaper.

The simplest design is with open shelves. You can use storage boxes instead of drawers. This will make it quicker and easier to access what you want to take and clean over time. Also, if you want to change its appearance in the future, it will be very easy with a simple coat of different paint or varnish and some new storage boxes made of other materials or colors. 

The pipes are easy to hide with these, it will take you less time and it will be cheaper and the stopcocks will be accessible when you need them.

Another decision to make when making a floating bathroom cabinet is whether the sink will be built-in or placed on the upper shelf. In the former case, you must make sure that it is a built-in model and have the tools to make the spaces for it and for the taps. 

It is easier if you choose a sink to be placed on the floating cabinet with the taps on the wall. This way, you will only have to assemble the boards to create the cabinet and place it screwed to the wall. In addition, countertop sinks are trendy.

Take measurements and prepare the plans and boards to build a hanging piece of furniture.

Measure the height at which you want to place the floating bathroom cabinet, decide how many shelves you want to place, as well as its length and depth. Make a simple plan and mark if you need any interior cuts to integrate the sink or taps. You can then go to a sawmill or DIY store and buy the boards of the dimensions you want.

Keep in mind that the interior shelves are smaller than the top and bottom shelves because you need to subtract the thickness of the walls.

Remember that you will probably need to leave spaces for the stopcocks at the back . Measure the height at which they are located and their dimensions carefully.

Apply a suitable varnish with anti-mould waterproofing protection

This way the wood will be better protected and the furniture will be more durable. 

Assemble your homemade floating bathroom cabinet

For greater stability and durability , it is better to mount the wall-hung bathroom furniture with screws and cover them with trims that hide them instead of using carpenter's glue. 

Mark the joints between the boards and screw them in. If you choose a simple top shelf design with two shelves and walls at the sides and bottom, it's very easy. You can also insert vertical interior boards to create a greater number of spaces. This allows for a more elaborate-looking design and makes storage easier . Although it also limits the dimensions of the storage baskets you can use.

Mark the connection points to the wall and drill

These are the points where you will attach the floating furniture to the wall to achieve a perfect anchor.

Place the floating furniture on the bathroom wall

Remove the old one, if you have one, and the sink. Mark the anchor points where you will screw it to the wall. Note where the drain is, where the pipe runs down, or where the stopcocks are to choose the correct position.

Screw into the marks taking into account the design of the fittings . Place the plugs and hit them with the hammer on a plug so as not to break the tiling . Screw the retaining plates to the walls and fit them with the furniture connection system and then place the trims and sink.

As you can see, it is a bit laborious , but if you are a handyman and you fancy doing it yourself, perfect!
