Over the Toilet Storage Cabinets

Many homes have a smaller bathroom that is lacking in storage space, and often these are places that need to store a lot. A traditional linen cabinet won't quite fit. It can be a master bath that's just not as large as we would like, or even a second bath or the kids bathroom. But even something more space efficient like a linen tower may still need more floor space than you have available.

One area that is often unutilized, especially in a second bath, is the area over the toilet. Some bathrooms come with a linen cabinet hung on the wall over the toilet. This space is great and easy to use for over the toilet storage.

You can make use of this space by installing a wall mounted linen cabinet over the toilet, but that is a lot of work and expense. You can also install simple shelves in this space as well, but while open shelves may be functional and relatively easy to install, may not fit the decor of the room too well.

A free standing storage unit that straddles the toilet is often a choice. While costing more than simple shelves, They come in wide range of styles, from simple chrome units with open shelves, to French Country style with the traditional hardwood finishes and doors to hide the shelf contents and add to the decor of the room. Almost any type of decorative theme can be matched with the choices available for over toilet storage.

College dorms are a place where it's always hard to find enough storage, and the need for college dorm storage will vary a lot from one college to another. While many dorms have a large shared bathroom facility, the trend these days is to create shared bathroom spaces in a smaller setting, like suite rooms or small dorm apartments, where you typically have 4 occupants sharing a bathroom. This can be a challenge, especially with girls. To make the best use of this space, a free standing over the toilet storage rack or stand like a Spacesaver can be a much appreciated addition, as this space is often otherwise unused and is often quite a bit of space, sometimes three shelves of storage. It can be a clean chrome metal open look or a more traditional cabinet style.

Small bathrooms can be a storage challenge, but by thinking creatively you can find space using over the toilet storage where none was before.

We had a basic plumbing problem, just a clogged up toilet drain from too much paper. The plumber asked what type of toilet paper we were using and I told him Charmin. He told me it was the worse paper for causing clogged up pipes. He recommended we switch to Cottonelle and we haven't had a problem since. Just passing the info along.
