4 Reasons to Float Your Cabinetry or Consoles
Let me raise an interesting idea for you - floating cabinets or tables are the right design decision for so many reasons. Floating a surface is a modern look, even if your cabinetry is traditional. And it makes a fabulous statement. Wondering if it’s the right idea for your home’s decor? Here are 4 reasons to float this concept!

1. It Makes the Space Look Bigger
Whether in a bathroom or in an entry like the one above, a floating surface makes the space look bigger. Without legs to break up the lines, your eye is fooled into seeing more room, especially because the floor continues straight to the wall. I love to use floating vanities in powder rooms for that reason, and the floating table I designed above helps expand the view in a tiny foyer.

2. It’s a Cleaner Look
If you’re a person who loves less clutter, then this style is for you! Not only does it look cleaner, though, it is cleaner because you won’t have any awkward hiding places for dust bunnies. In the bathroom I designed above, the super-streamlined style creates a modern and zen look.

3. It Shows Off Your Tile
If you have gorgeous tile, like in the bathroom above, you want to let it have its moment. The floating vanity is going to look amazing against the dreamy design of those stunning tiles. Can’t wait to show you the completed room in this vacation home I’m designing!

4. It Accommodates All Heights
The space under a floating vanity is perfect for any family member. You can hide a step stool under the cabinet for little ones, add a counter stool for an instant makeup station, or you can even create the space for a wheelchair or walker. The height of a floating cabinet can be adjusted for anything your family may need.
