How to Adding Extra Wall Storage?

/in /by

Add wall shelving. On any open wall spaces, add sturdy shelves that match the style of your bathroom. If you need the extra space, go all the way up to the ceiling. You can even use the space directly above the door. Place items more frequently used on the lower shelves. If you can’t reach the higher shelves, store a stepstool in front of the bathroom cabinet.

Add floating shelves above the toilet. Most people ignore the space above the toilet, but this is actually valuable real estate for storage. A standing rack can look bulky and outdated. However, if you hang a set of floating shelves in a complementary color to the wall, then this will actually open up the space. Stack decorative items on these shelves or use them for extra toiletry storage for items, such as toilet paper and tissues.

Hang glass jars on the wall. Get a set of clean, large mason jars. Use metal loops or small shelves to keep them suspended on the wall. Once the jars are secured, fill them with small items, such as makeup tools. Keep the design looking even cleaner by putting the same type of items into each jar. For example, 1 jar can just hold brushes. Another can hold cotton swabs and so on. 

Place magnetic strips around the vanity. Buy long, metal magnetic strips from your local hardware store. Use screws or construction glue to secure these strips to any gaps on the walls around the sink and vanity. Then, hang metal items, such as tweezers, on these strips. This is also a great way to secure small metal items that you might otherwise misplace, such as bobby pins. Don’t place any sharp objects on the strips in the slight chance that they could fall off and cause an injury.

Use spice racks for makeup storage. Spice racks are great for storage because they are the perfect size for makeup or even medicine bottles. They are also easy to wipe down for cleaning. In the empty wall space near the sink, hang a set of spice racks using screws. Make sure that the racks are close enough together to maximize your wall space. However, don’t place them directly against one another or that might look overcrowded.

The knowledge of Renovate Bathroom

Choose moisture and mildew-resistant paint. Because bathrooms get damp, wallpaper is not a good idea. The best paint to use for a bathroom is something that is either semi-glossy or satin; both are resistant to frequent cleaning and touching. Textured paint is also a great option if you are re-painting an old surface; the texture will conceal any bumps and imperfections. Whatever paint you decide to use, make sure that it is intended for bathrooms, and is both moisture and mildew proof.

Use light colors, such as sky blue, sea foam green, or lavender, if you have a small bathroom. They will make your bathroom appear bigger than it actually is. Use darker colors to make large bathrooms appear smaller and cozier. Go for gray or white if you can’t decide. They are common bathroom colors. Consider adding accent or trim colors to match your decor and towels.

Decide what sort of material you want for your counter. There are different types of materials you can use for your counter, if you choose to have one. Natural stone looks and feels luxurious. It is very beautiful, but it needs to be sealed properly so that it does not soak up stains. The drawback is that it can only come in flat slabs.

Resin is great for counters with irregular shapes. They are a great choice if you want to have a sink molded right into the counter. They can be made to resemble almost any material and don’t need to be sealed. Despite this, they don’t have the beauty of natural stone.

Laminate counters are cheap and come in many different finishes. They are also stain and scratch resistant. Unfortunately, they can also fade and deteriorate over time. Consider covering your counter with porcelain tiles or glazed tile. This will make it durable, and easier to clean.

Choose your bathtub, sinks, showers, and other fixtures. There are different types of tubs, sinks, and showers. For example, some types of sinks and tubs are free-standing and can be moved around if needed. Other types are directly molded into the counter or wall tiles.

Pedestal sinks look elegant and take up little space, but they won’t fit in a counter, and you can’t place a cabinet under them. You will need to install cabinets and counters in other parts of your bathroom. Vessels and bowls are popular sink choices. They sit right on top of a counter. The downside is that you will need to clean under them, and you can’t just wipe things off the counter and into the sink, like you would with a molded sink.

Molded sinks are often set right into the vanity. They are the most common, but also the most convenient. Claw-foot bathtubs are free-standing and classical. They are often made from porcelain tiles and can hold heat better. You will need to add a drain in the floor to catch any spilled water.
