Modern Home Storage

Finding a suitable home storage solution around the bathroom for all the personal and household accessories every family accumulates can be quite a challenge.

It’s no difference for the bathroom. The storage solution for the bathroom has never been any greater now.

The bathroom storage requirements are likely to be relatively low key – somewhere to keep toiletries and cleaning materials, for example. As such, the main storage requirements in a bathroom are for linen, towels, toiletries and cosmetics. The choice is likely to be between a floor-standing vanity unit and some wall-hung cupboards (cabinets), although if space permits, you might give some thought to the growing number of fully fitted bathroom furniture ranges. Where space is very limited, make use of the hidden space behind a removable bath panel to store small items such as children’s bath toys

A storage idea of a wall-hung cupboard here is a built-in cupboard with glass doors which encourages tidiness within. You can stack fluffy towels and bath sheets on the top shelves and relegate less pretty bathroom necessities to the closed lower cabinet.

For smaller bathroom, you could utilize the bathroom door which is full of unused storage space. What you could do is to paint the door with magnetic paint to create an attractive surface on which to hang towel hooks and metal disks. You can also install removable bins and towel bars to store extra towels, shampoo, and soap. The following picture shows how the storage solution can be done.

Another home storage solution for a small bathroom here is to choose small-scale case goods — such as the eight-drawer roller cart near the vanity here — for maximum flexibility. Taller pieces offer more cubic inches of storage in limited square footage than shorter ones.

If the hot-water tank is in the bathroom, then building an airing cupboard surrounding it, with slatted shelves to allow warm air to circulate around the towels, sheets, and so on, can be a great boon.
