Getting enough storage in a small bathroom is all about making smart use of every inch. Some shelves under the sink, a large mirror cabinet, a cart or some new hooks and hangers are all quick fixes that easily can be made to help keep your things nice and tidy.
One way to gain counter space is by using the between wall space over the vanity to create a vanity long recessed shelf. Just make sure it's tall enough to permit placement of your hand-cream or shampoo containers. We did this in two new bathrooms and covered the space with the same material used for the counter top.
A shelf above the door is easy to add, is out of the way, and you don't see it unless you are on the way out of the bathroom. Glass or acrylic floating shelves let line shine through with small storage boxes/baskets to hide the small stuff that needs to be in the bathroom.
Using stacking drawers is one way to solve the problem. Stacking drawers can help you make use of the vertical space and help keep items from getting lost in the back of the cabinet. Cabinet-sized Elfa Drawer Solutions are another option. They give you the flexibility to use deep drawers to store tall bottles.
Maximize space in a small bathroom by choosing compact fixtures, installing wall-mounted storage, using mirrors to create an illusion of space, and opting for a shower instead of a bathtub. Consider light colors for walls and fixtures to enhance the feeling of openness.
If you've got the floor space, bring in cabinets, organizers or a rolling bar cart for extra storage. Make the most of wall space by hanging bathroom shelves near the sink, over the toilet or even in a window.
Choosing the correct silicone sealant is crucial for achieving optimal results when sealing gaps between walls and sinks. Opt for a high-quality, waterproof sealant specifically formulated for use in wet environments such as bathrooms and kitchens.
If space is limited, keep only the necessities and use the linen closet or add shelving elsewhere for everything else. If there's more room for under-bathroom-sink storage, things such as hair tools and backup toiletries can stay.
Getting enough storage in a small bathroom is all about making smart use of every inch. Some shelves under the wash-basin, a large mirror cabinet, a trolley or some new hooks and hangers are all quick fixes that easily can be made to help keep your things nice and tidy.
The best way to organize a small bathroom with no storage space is to go vertical. For instance, you can mount shelves or a shelving unit over the toilet or hang a storage rack over the showerhead for storing items in the shower. Don't forget to use the space on the back of the door.
If space is tight in the bathroom, mount a simple towel bar on the side of a cabinet or vanity. Or, add a hook to the back of a door. These space-savvy towel storage ideas create a place for them to stay without getting in the way.
It's All About Ergonomics
Ergonomics play a major role in determining the height of bathroom vanities. We use a bathroom vanity for washing our hands, brushing our teeth, shaving, and applying makeup. A lower vanity height can make these activities more comfortable, reducing the need to overstretch or awkwardly bend.
In most cases, the vanity should be flush against the wall-with no space between the vanity and the wall. This is done to help hide and protect the important components such as plumbing, as well as protect critical crevices or openings in the vanity that might expose it to water damage or other elements.
While these rims appear to sit flush to the counter, there is actually a small gap between the rim and counter where water and debris can collect. Caulk fills this gap to make your counter and sink watertight, while helping to eliminate any movement of the rim of the sink.
Pedestal sinks are like the little black dress of bathrooms – they never go out of style. With their elegant and minimalist design, they fit seamlessly into both traditional and modern bathrooms.
To optimize this area, consider adding built-in shelves or cabinets to increase storage. Lighting is also crucial, particularly if your nook lacks natural light. You can incorporate a small table lamp, or pendant light, or install recessed lighting to brighten up the space.
