We all have one. Â It’s that bathroom that’s just not quite large enough, or doesn’t have quite enough storage space for the linens and the other necessities of a bathroom. Â But there is usually more space available than meets the eye at first glance.
A traditional linen cabinet is wonderful if you have it, but if you don’t, look at the options. Â You can get a corner linen cabinet to fit in the corner, which will take up significantly less space, and the styles and finishes are quite attractive. Â But it does still have some small footprint that takes up floor space.
Another area that is often overlooked is the area above the toilet. Â While many bathrooms have a linen cabinet over the toilet already, most small bathrooms don’t. Â You can always install one of these yourself, but that can be fairly complicated and sometimes expensive.
One other great alternative is to use a spacesaver design that has a cabinet that basically straddles the commode. Â While you can find many of these that are simple open shelves, you don’t need to be limited to only those designs. Â You can find many of these that are very attractive. Â Not only open shelves, but there are some with doors to cover the linens or other necessities. Â There are some with just a shelf or two, while others feature multiple shelves or even some drawers.
The styles include simple metal units, to ornate country designs. Â Wood finishes such as oak, maple, or even cherry are common.
If you have a student headed to college that will be sharing a bathroom with another student or three, this can be a great way to free up room in the common bath. Â Dorms never seem to have quite enough room, but this can help.
A small bathroom can be a problem, but with a little creative thought you can find great places to attractively store your linens and necessities.
