Xil Bathroom Furniture from Karol with Uncommon Design
Italian bathroom is still the best architecture style, here are the best bathroom design from Karol, named Xil, a furniture piece with an uncommon design. It intentionally transcends the solutions that have been used up to now in the bathroom. The thick forms and solid wood worked by skilled artisans and the unique flame veneer finish of the trims in both the furniture pieces and the mirrors turn it into an aristocratic object that maintains the needed functionality of the bathroom area.
Unlike the other Karol’s series, Xil cabinets are available only in wood finish, which can be combined to elegant waterproof leather doors available in 5 different colors. The materials used for the tops are the same of those used in the other series.
