Usefully Filling Space With Over The Toilet Storage Cabinets And Shelves

System; Fieldcrest Etagere in an Espresso finis.
One of the secret weapons of an uncluttered bathroom owner is the use of
over toilet cabinets and shelves, also known as etageres or space savers. An over toilet cabinet
is the queen of bathroom storage cabinets. These types of units are mostly freestanding and
stand astride the toilet, so are very easy to install; they occupy wall and air space that is
often wasted, so are a great benefit to owners of small bathrooms, although over the toilet
units are an asset to any sized bathroom.
There are a number of options for over the toilet storage; they can be
anything from a single toilet shelf, a small single over toilet cabinet to a 6 feet plus rack
of shelves or combination of cabinet and shelf or shelves. While there are uses for the single
shelf if you do not have a storage problem in the bathroom, the tall space saver with a mix
of cabinet and shelves is the best solution in most circumstances.
For those who do not need enclosed shelving behind doors, then the all
shelf option may be fine, although the shelves-only over the toilet storage does not quite have
the same scope from a décor point of view. You can make up for that with ornate wrought iron
or other metal scroll work. A simple shelving only option would be something like the Zenith
Products 2501W Freestanding Space Saver Over-the-Toilet Shelving System in white. This over
toilet storage option cost in the region of $50-55, is made of durable steel with a white, powder-coated
finish. It stands over 68 inches high, has 3 wire shelves, and comes ready to assemble which
is claimed to be easy.
For an economic wooden over the toilet storage cabinet, something like
the Fieldcrest Etagere in an Espresso finish might be the sort of storage unit you want. This
particular one can be found at Target stores and costs about $120. It is made from a wood composite
with an Espresso veneer finish, while the metal finish is nickel. It is easy to keep clean with
a damp cloth, and provides a lot of storage space in its 26.0 " length; 65.0” height, and 10.25
" width dimensions.
