Bathroom storage is a perennial problem; that is, for those who are not
aware of all the simple bathroom storage solutions. There is one type of storage for the bathroom
which has remained the secret weapon of those in the know: over the toilet storage. The vacant
space above the toilet gives you ample scope for solving most of your bathroom storage problems
in one go; that is if you have not had the wisdom to use that space already. It is a great way
to supplement your bathroom linen cabinet, mirrored bathroom cabinets or other
The bathroom over toilet cabinet or over the toilet shelves are something
to always bear in mind when making decisions about bathroom storage. These types of furniture
are often referred to as space savers or etageres; a space saver is certainly appropriate, as
the wall and air space above the toilet is too valuable to neglect, especially in a small bathroom.
Whatever you might call them over toilet storage units are a big asset. Not only can they provide
storage, they can look attractive too, thus making a nice distraction from the boring looking
toilet bowl and providing you with some aesthetically pleasing décor should you wish.
An over toilet cabinet will normally be made of wood, or a combination
of glass or metal and wood. This is because cabinet doors are usually made of wood, or if glass
fitted on a wooden frame. Over the toilet shelving on its own can also be metal, as is often
the case, with chrome, stainless steel, brass and satin nickel being popular finishes for metal
toilet shelves. Like all wooden furniture, over the toilet wood cabinets can be in traditional
and classic designs with attractive carvings and craftsmanship; modern wooden designs are also
generally available.
There is a wide choice of traditional over toilet cabinet furniture, including
classic designs if that is what would suit your bathroom. An example from Home Decorators Collection
is the Heirloom Chelsea Spacesaver with wood doors. This sells for about $300, and is handcrafted
with durable wood. Another possibility for something unusual is the Canvas Over Toilet Spacesaver:
Bathroom Cabinet Space Saver with Chocolate Trim, Reviere 53589 by Organi. This delightfully
unusual piece of over the toilet cabinetry has a wood frame, neutral taupe canvas with chocolate
contrasting trim; a very unusual and impressive design at about $160.
