BATHROOM STORAGE SHELVES
Before buying your bathroom storage shelves you need to think hard and long about the design, placement and amount of storage you require.
Shelves are made in many materials and finishes, including: toughened glass, wood, wicker, brass, chromium plate and other metals, and powder-coated white or other painted finishes.

Bathroom Storage Ideas
- Will you choose floor standing or wall hanging shelves?
- Think about bathroom wall storage. Are your walls strong enough to support shelves?
- Where are your shelves going to be placed?
- Will you be able to reach each shelf easily both for cleaning and to retrieve items?
- Will the shelves be placed in a safe position where people will not bump into them?
- Will you place your shelf over the hand basin, bath or toilet, under a mirror or along a wall?
- How many storage shelves do you need?
Declutter and Recycle
Many people have small bathrooms therefore it is very important to plan what items are really necessary to place on shelves rather than in bathroom storage units or your bedroom furniture.
- Sort out all the items you wish to store in the bathroom.
- Throw out or recycle anything no longer required.
- Check that all disposable items are still within their use by dates.
- Make sure that every item to be stored is clean.
- Sort all your items into suitable storage venues.
- Put away all items except the ones requiring storage on your new bathroom shelves.
Now you can work out the number, type and position of the bathroom storage shelves you require.
Bathroom Wall Storage
If you wish to have a bathroom storage shelf or shelves over a breakable item such as the toilet, bath or hand basin then it is advisable to have a rail around the shelf rim in order to avoid any items falling off the shelf and damaging the item below.
If your bathroom walls are not strong enough to hold a shelf safely then floor standing space saver shelves are available that encircle the toilet or sink or you may wish to buy free standing corner, square or rectangular shelf units.
There are shelves that wall mounted or floor standing that incorporate little cupboards or support a towel rail.
Before you buy your bathroom storage shelves, think deeply, plan carefully and only then buy wisely!
