SMART BATHROOM STORAGE

Most of us don't have the luxury of having large bathrooms with plenty of storage. If you have a small bathroom you need to be smart about storage and look at different ways to use wall space. The following bathrooms show some great ideas on how to take full advantage of space in a small bathroom.

This bathroom measures 6' x 9'. The alcove that used to contain the toilet was converted to a linen storage with drawers and mirror door. A new low profile wall mount toilet that has the tank in the wall was installed in the centre of the space and allows 2' of space between the toilet and vanity. A new vanity with drawers was added. The mirror above the vanity is a large cabinet with mirrored doors that provides 6' of storage as well as recessed light onto the counter. There is also a bench and shelf for shower products in the shower! Compact and so efficient!!!

This space is 5' wide. The storage has become completely integrated into the design of the space. Two fully functioning drawers under the sink provide much more accessible storage than a door cabinet. The partially recessed mirrored wall cabinet provides soft lighting on three sides and opens to a mirror behind shelves. Towel bar mounted on the sink means towel is always handy for wet hands! The open wood shelving hold a week's worth of bath towels and provides ample counter space. Notice the wood ledge built into the wall with lighting...perfect for objet d'art!!

This powder room makes use of a full height mirror on the end wall and a skylight to visually expand the space. A full height wall cabinet has a glass door that slides up and down to allow some open display and some closed storage.Sliding glass doors below the sink also allow full access to this cabinet. Partially recessed mirror cabinet above sink with a built in light bar each side provides the best lighting for make-up or shaving...no awful downward shadows!!!.
