Bathroom Space

I don't know about you, but even people who have large bathrooms often feel that they're not big enough. We do not have any "large" bathrooms. For the most part they are functional, but nothing to write home about.

We were put into the place of needing to find a way to increase space and storage. The couteertop space was not enough to hold all of the hari-dryers, curling irons, and razors. We needed to find some new options.

The first thing we did was to figure out which walls we weren't really using, and were not in the way of something else. Behind the door is a good space that can be used for a small, thin shelf unit. You can use this shelf for small cosmetics and even curling irons if the unit is long enough.

Another area that you can probably use is right next to the door. We were able to find a small cabinet that had a depth of about 6 inches, with a little over a foot in height. This is an excellent cabinet for our medical supplies. It is out of the way and out of reach of any children.

The final cabinet that we installed is the one that has made an impact elsewhere in the home as well. If you go to Home Depot or your local home improvement store you can usually buy cabinets that are in stock. We installed a cabinet above the toilet. We did not do a large cabinet. It was a little over the width of the toilet and about a foot high. This cabinet is used for storing washcloths and towels. The great thing is that you can reach it from the tub, and it freed up cabinet space in the rest of house when we were able to move those towels out of other cabinets.

There is probably space available in your bathroom, you just have to look a little harder.
