Either big or small, we all think bathrooms are not
ideal for storage. We feel bathrooms does not have enough space to hold even
additional bathroom essentials. In most case bathrooms are very small in
apartments, so we do not prefer to stuff things in available small spaces in
bathrooms and make it look cluttered. We just have necessary essentials in
bathroom and always keep additional towels, extra soaps, soap dishes, and other
toiletries in other storage areas in home and not in bathroom. But there are
several smart and focussed ideas that will help you keep all bath essential and
additional items right inside the bathroom but without consuming much of the
available space. These savvy ideas will keep you bathroom organized as well.
Use
space under sink
Every bathroom will definitely have a small wash basin
or sink. So you the space below it for storage. If you do not have floor space,
then use wall mounted cabins that consume very little space but holds those
additional toiletries. You can even use sliding drawers under the sink for easy
access to the stored essentials.
Add
some height
In most case we just use a single wall-mounted shelf
inside the bathroom, so convert it into one or more stacked shelves to hold
things. When you use stacked shelves, it is better to use wicker or plastic
basket to hold toiletries on the shelf rather than keeping the bath essential
itself on the shelves.
Recessed
Shelf
Narrow recessed shelves that run from the floor to the
ceiling can be built in any corner of the bathroom to hold dozens of toilet
paper and other accessories. You can even have horizontal recessed shelves that
offer perfect depth to hold soaps and shampoo bottles.
Turn
step stool as storage unit
In most houses, we use step stools in bath for small
children to reach the sink easily. Just turn the area beneath the stool as
storage unit to hold bath toys, soaps, and shampoos.
Storage
inside bath tubs
If your bathroom has a big bath tub, then why not try
to add built-shelves inside the tub to hols additional towel, oversized towels
and toiletries.
Concealed
storage on mirror
No bathroom is complete without a mirror. Either you
use a small mirror or a full length mirror, design a built-in storage shelf
inside it. You can either have these shelves recessed inside the wall or
protrude from the wall as a cupboard with mirror as its door.
Use
the space behind door
You can use hanging door organizers behind the door to
hold small toiletries, bottles and face washes.
Use
wicker basket
Just select one wall of the bathroom and hang wicker
baskets there one below the other to hold not-so pretty bath essentials, which
you want to give a concealed storage.
Use
floating shelves
Instead for free-standing shelves, go for floating
shelves in any nook of the bathroom or even above the toilet basin. You can
even have these as high shelves to hold cleaning supplies out of reach from
children.
