Optimizing Your Bathroom Storage

July 27, 2015 By xmlrpc Leave a Comment

If you’re like most people, when you’re doing your bathroom renovations, you’re looking to add more bathroom storage. Bathroom storage is a limited and important thing – we’d all prefer to be able to keep all the hygienics in that space. Oftentimes, though, there just doesn’t seem to be any room left, between the bathtub, the shower, the toilet, and the vanity set.

This post, we want to help you with this common problem by going over some of the potential solutions. We also want to go beyond that to optimize your bathroom storage in couple ways involving its decor.

Door Shelving/Pull-Out Bin

These are well-known and fairly basic tips, but adding shelves to the door and roll out drawers or bins to your closet can make use every inch of space available. For door shelves, they can be used to hold your smaller toiletries, and they’ll keep you organized better than you ever have before. Pull-out bins and drawers make it easier to access stuff that would otherwise be crammed in the back, inaccessible unless you pull out everything before it. They also allow you to not leave any access space on top, maximizing your space in another way.

Pegboard

Implementing pegboard into your cabinet storage is another way to make use of wasted space. This small cabinet manages to story many times what it could have without it, even fairly bulky things like a hair dryer that is normal relegated to a drawer. Another smart idea was to include an outlet for easy use of electronics store in the cabinet.

Built-In Cabinet

This implementation of a built-in cabinet is a fine example of maintaining the bathroom decor and maximizing space. By opting for a built-in rather than free-standing cabinet, this homeowner was able to make use of storage space in the corner without infringing on floor space.

Sectioned-Off Cabinet

If your problem is not more storage space but more storage places, making two cabinets out of one space may be the solution. This will give you more places so your hygienics are optimally organized.

Last but not least, the fold-up medicine cabinet mirror is a neat take on the vanity mirror. By folding up the mirror, you can have a bigger medicine cabinet (can you imagine folding that out?) – and you get style points!
