Bathroom Storage Solutions

While remodeling this St. Louis bathroom, we incorporated a few storage ideas that could be especially useful in a smaller bathroom. Included is a built in linen cabinet, a magazine rack in the wall, and a tile shampoo niche. All the above helps keep this bathroom clean and uncluttered!

    A magazine rack is one of the best ideas/solutions. Having had 4 sons and Dear Hubs there always was one or two left on the floor or the back of the toilet-gross!!

    I have an old canvas rice bag (we eat a lot of rice) hanging above the toilet. The built-in rack is a way better idea. Nice.

    Yea Hamtil Constr! I've been cutting out drywall and installing shelves (and the TP holder) for years to save floor and elbow space. Glad to see you do it with great style.

    Love the colour. It would fit in well w/our colours--whites, aquas, & blues (def. a wonderfully beachy- feel to our place.). TY for posting the info. :)

    My mom's house has a magazine rack like that on the back of her bathroom door and have never seen another house with one. Always thought that was a neat idea. Your storage areas are neat and simple and just flow with the room.

    I want my hubby make a storage area, similiar to your linen area, in the lundry room/ 1/2 bath for the mops, brooms and such. Do you have a tutorial?

    Hi Kelly S, no tutorial as of now. I could offer some tips or steps to follow if you want to message me. Essentially, it is a 3/4" birch plywood box with 3 fixed shelves routed into it. The fixed shelves have a nosing applied to the front of them. Under the lower shelf, we installed drawer glides and built a drawer to fit inside. The decorative drawer front was ordered from WW Wood Products in Missouri, and applied to the drawer ...»
    box we built. The width of this particular unit was governed by the width of the stud cavity that it is installed between. After installation, we then applied the casing trim similar to a door or window. Hope this info helps.

    It sure does. I'm trying to take advantage of the stud cavity for the cleaning gear. I saw one premade years ago but haven't found any recently. This would also work for the ironing board storage in my craft room. Thanks for your help.
