How To Maximize Storage Space In Your Bathroom Remodel
If you find yourself constantly moving objects around your bathroom cabinet, it may be time to add some extra storage space. Luckily, there are a number of ways to maximize your bathroom storage without sacrificing style or the flow of the room!
Custom Cabinets
Custom cabinets are a great way to maximize storage space in your bathroom remodel. You can choose from a wide range of styles and materials to create a look that’s both functional and beautiful. Consider how you use the room and how often you’ll need to store items, like makeup and toiletries, before deciding on which type of cabinetry to install. Also, think about how many people will be using the bathroom at any given time, and what their storage needs might be in the future. Once you’ve figured out how much storage you need, you can start shopping for the right cabinets to match your vision. It’s important to shop around and compare what’s available before making a decision, as custom and semi-custom options are more expensive than stock or ready-to-assemble (RTA) models.
Wall-Mounted Baskets
Having a bathroom that’s well-organized is key for getting the most use out of your space. It helps you keep all of your essentials within easy reach and doesn’t bog down the room with excess clutter. A simple and inexpensive way to maximize storage space is to assemble baskets on your wall. These raised baskets keep lotions, small towels, and makeup products from spilling onto the floor, while the open tops make it easy to grab the items you need when getting ready. Another way to increase your bathroom’s storage is to incorporate recessed shelving into the walls. This will take more planning ahead of time, however it’s a great way to save space and ensure that all of your essentials are easily accessible. This idea can also be used in a shower by placing a niche on the wall near the tub or shower. This nook can house additional storage for bath wash bottles, and it’s positioned just right for keeping shampoos and conditioners close but out of sight.
Floating Shelves
If you’re remodeling a small bathroom, floating shelves can maximize storage space while providing a modern look. They’re also a budget-friendly option. Floating shelves come in a variety of materials and styles, so you can find one that’s perfect for your bathroom or kitchen. You can choose from rustic wood options or sleek, contemporary metal designs. The first step to installing your shelf is to measure the wall where you plan to mount it. This will ensure that your shelves will fit securely and that there are no gaps. Once you’ve done that, use your stud finder to locate the studs in the wall. Next, use a screwdriver to attach a bracket to the wall. You can then add shelf casing to cover the mounting brackets. If you’d like, you can also stain or paint your shelves to make them look more polished.
Linen Closets
Keeping towels and extra toiletries neatly stored and accessible in your bathroom will make getting ready in the morning much easier. Adding a custom linen closet to your bathroom remodel design can help keep this space organized and clutter-free, making the space feel more tidy and functional. One of the best ways to organize a linen closet is by sorting your items into categories such as bedding, bath, beach, laundry, holiday and tableware. You can also sort by season or size. Another way to sort your linens is to store them according to their use. Bulky comforters, sheets and towels should be stored on the middle shelves; less-used or seasonal linens can go on lower shelves. To maximize storage space, consider adding bins and baskets to your linen closet. Look for attractive options, such as woven or wicker baskets, that match your space’s aesthetic!
