Bathroom Updates - Extra Storage
Most of us can use extra storage in any room, but bathroom storage seems especially important.
A large bathroom can be as big a problem as a small one if you can't think of what to do with all that space, so we'll start there.
If you have the luxury of a large space, add a small dresser chest or console that coordinates with your decor; it offers storage for supplies, towels or personal items you don't want on display.
If your space will accommodate a chair or bench or stool, it is handy to have for dressing or placing a towel on while you bathe.
Use your wall space to display art.
A bold color will enhance a large space, so be bold, go large! A smaller space mean more creative ways to utilize it.
If you have a tub/shower in which you bathe children, you might consider putting up a "train rack towel bar"; such a towel bar is quite easy to find now in all your bath shops and home improvement stores.
You can hang hooks for toys, or wash cloths, or long handled bath brushes.
Additional towels can be stored folded on the top of the rack.
If you have only a tub and it is primarily for children, you can add a simple towel bar or hooks at a lower height so the children can reach their toys, sponges and wash cloths without help.
You might find a small corner of floor space for an old night stand, painted to match your decor; it can hold books, candles, bath oils or whatever you want to display, or it can hold things you want to hide in the drawer or behind the cabinet door.
How about stacking three storage cubes in colors to enhance your space; use the cubes to store extra towels or stacks of toilet tissue.
If you stack your toilet tissue on its side you can create an interesting pyramid effect.
You can organize drawers easily with utility trays to hold make-up, razors, brushes, sox and unmentionables.
Some bathroom things are best left in drawers or cabinets.
When in doubt, always look to your vertical space, it is an untapped resource and there are lots of tools out there for you to make good use of that space: shelves, racks and hooks.
If towel bars won't work, hooks are great, especially for kids.
A narrow space nearly begs for a row of hooks with colorful towels.
