Storage is always at a premium in any home, and nowhere is that more true than in the bathroom. All the little odds and ends you use every day, and seemingly nowhere to put it all. Makeup, hair brushes, toilet paper, towels and washcloths, razors, and first aid supplies. The list goes on and on. No matter what size your bathroom, you can probably use a little more storage. If a bathroom remodel is in your future, that’s always a great time to include some of the latest in innovative storage solutions. In the meantime, here are some great tips on how to add extra storage space to your Great Falls, VA bathroom.
Creative Ways to Add Space to Your Great Falls Bathroom
There are many stylish ways to add storage and organize your bathroom without spending a fortune – and without needing a lot of floor space. Many of these organization solutions take little time to accomplish, and they’ll help you solve a multitude of storage issues, as well as keep the bathroom clean and neat.
1. Basket Cases. Instead of shelves or drawers for towel storage, why not use a set of wire, fabric, or natural baskets instead? You can hang or store them on some ladder shelving. They’re also great for magazines, bath oils and salts, and all the products you use for an in-home spa day.
2. Unused Wall Space. Most bathrooms have a blank wall at the foot of the tub. Install shelves there that hold towels and other bath supplies, as well as decorative items. It makes a beautiful focal point for the room. Or try putting a shelf above the doorframe.
3. Steal an Office Idea. Use stick up pen, business card, and office supplies holders on the inside of your cabinet’s door. They’re perfect for holding makeup, grooming supplies, and more.
4. Seeing Double. There is never enough room on the towel rack, and wall or door hooks don’t get the towels dry fast enough. Mount two towel racks on the back of the bathroom door. It’s an easy way to keep everyone’s towels separate.
5. Fill in the Gap. Have a narrow gap between the sink or toilet and wall? A storage tower adds visual interest. Use vibrant towels in an otherwise neutral room to add a punch of texture and color.
6. Hang it Up. If the room as limited floor, cabinet and/or counter space hang your storage from the wall or ceiling. It looks great and adds coziness to a room that is often mega utilitarian.
7. Repurposing. Don’t limit your search to bathroom departments. Use a glass and chrome bar cart to store tall items that don’t fit on standard shelves. Or use it as a “salon cart” to store your nail polishes, pedicure, and other spa items. Get one with wheels and you can move it easily between the tub, sink, and seating.
8. Double-Duty Furniture. Upholstered and wooden benches are common in today’s bath. To increase its usefulness, choose one that has a hinged lid or shelving beneath it. Tidy and chic all at once!
9. Never Enough Shelving. Introduce shelving throughout the room. Above and below the sinks, in between vanities, recessed into an unused corner space, you can never have enough!
