8 Great Bath Storage Ideas

Bath storage is an essential item for a small area like most bathrooms. Many bathrooms tends to have an unending clutter of items, especially with a large family. Creating storage in under-utilized places is an ideal way of getting the decks cleared. Usually there are several places you can use if you merely think it through.

1: Behind the Door

The area behind the door is a seldom-utilized area for bath storage. It can be put to use to hold a number of light objects. Attach a few lightweight holders like small towel rails where you can hang items.

2: Install a Shower Shelf

It’s far tidier to have toiletries collected on a shower shelf than adorning the floor of the shower. They are also far more accessible to a person who is showering. A triangular shower shelf is an ideal way of storing these items.

3: Build a Cupboard to Partition Off the Toilet

A cupboard to partition the toilet from the rest of the bathroom gives both privacy and an area of bath storage. On the toilet side, you can install a mini bookshelf, as well as a small area for storing things like extra toilet paper and cleaning supplies. The reverse side of the cupboard can be used to store shampoo and other items.

4: Use the Wall Space

Most buildings have a wall space between rooms. With a few measurements, you will be able to ascertain if you have sufficient space to put a few shelves in this area. By making a box to fit in the area and installing a few glass shelves, you can create a bath storage area that is both useful and decorative.

5: Go Up

Often a bathroom has an area that lends itself to a tall thin cupboard. This can be extremely useful for storing towels and bathmats. If you don’t want to make a full-on cupboard with doors, consider making a set of shelving in diagonals. Once rolled up, towels can easily be stored in such an area.

6: Tops of Vanities

The tops of vanities are usually collectors of everyone’s toiletries. Consider using part of the vanity to build a cupboard. A long, thin, but tallish cupboard will store a great many different kinds of toiletries.

7: The Bath Side

Most baths tend to get built in. Consider using the space between the bath and the edge of the bath and you can cut into the panels and create drop-down storage drawers.

8: Areas That Are Too Thin To Be Of Use

Often we consider an area too thin to be of use when designing bath storage. Take another look and consider putting in a small cabinet similar to those that you use in the kitchen for a spice rack. These can be very useful for storing medicines and smaller toiletries.

At the end of the day there are many areas you can make use of by using a little imagination and design. If you aren’t very good with carpentry, you can use ready-made products by thinking in terms of the space that is available for bath storage.
