As a bathroom remodeling company, clever storage solutions are one of our favorite things at Cabinet Depot. Bathrooms are usually quite small spaces, so you need to get creative with where you store everything you need in there. It’s not always an option to add another shelf or cabinet if there just isn’t room. If you’re planning to remodel your bathroom, you can’t change how much space you have, but you can be smart about how you use it.
Here are some clever storage ideas that this bathroom remodeling company thinks you should try.
Shelves Inside the Cabinets
This one might seem like a no-brainer, but the cabinet under your bathroom sink usually doesn’t have shelves. Cabinet makers leave this area open because you need to access the pipes in case of plumbing problems. But you can be clever about how you install the shelves. You can make them easily removable, or they can stop on either side of the pipe to your sink.
Tall Skinny Cabinets
You might not have space for a wide cabinet, but a skinny one that goes from floor to ceiling will give you a fair amount of storage without taking up too much space. A cabinet that is the width of the space between two studs is often the ideal size. Studs are typically 16 or 24 inches apart. That’s enough space to store plenty of stuff, and it’s also easy to secure the cabinet to the wall.
Recessed Shelving
Shelves that don’t take up space? That’s the bathroom remodeling dream, right? The truth is, it’s actually not that difficult. There is often wasted space that you can build recessed shelving into. You probably don’t want to do it yourself, though, unless you have building experience. If you have open space in your bathroom where it is safe to cut into the wall, you can add cabinets or shelving that doesn’t take up space.
