Bathroom racks can help keep your master or powder room organized by providing convenient storage solutions that hide clutter while making daily essentials easy to reach for.
Find shelving designs that blend in seamlessly with the rest of your bathroom decor. These shelves can maximize wall space efficiently while creating a timeless and attractive appearance.
Ladder Shelves
Ladder shelving is an easy and stylish way to add decorative storage into any bathroom. These shelves make a perfect home for decor such as succulent plants, books and picture frames while they can also serve as extra towels or toiletries storage space. Perfect for small powder rooms as they provide loads of extra storage without taking up floor space!
Towels and bath linens should be placed on the lowest shelf while extra toiletries and jars should go on top level shelves. For a rustic touch, consider creating your own DIY ladder shelf made of wood; using either reclaimed material or by fitting pipes together using Kee Klamp fittings can create beautiful rustic effects.
Your ladder shelf should complement the colors in your walls for a cohesive appearance, or add a pop of color with bright or neutral hues for an eye-catching display. For an upscale touch, consider installing under-shelf lighting to showcase all your items on display.
Medicine Cabinets
Medicine cabinets may seem outdated, but they’re an effective way to keep bathroom countertops free from clutter. By keeping toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes, brushes and other small items stored away safely in one convenient spot on a medicine cabinet shelf, your countertops stay organized.
Medicine cabinets provide another essential function – protecting medicines from moisture and heat to keep them fresher for longer. Designs range from basic to lavish; some even incorporate mirrors. There are two main types available – surface-mounted and recessed.
Surface-mounted cabinets can be attached directly to walls with doors for access, offering endless flexibility in terms of depth and depth adjustment – usually up to seven inches is an acceptable limit. Some features adjustable shelves that let you customize interior storage to meet specific needs; they may be made of wood, metal or plastic materials and often include soft-closing doors that reduce noise levels in your bathroom while soft closing mechanisms make closing them silently easier and reduce noise pollution levels in general. Some even come equipped with built-in outlets which can hold electric razors or hair dryers!
Towel Racks
Put towels within easy reach with towel racks designed to make them accessible when stepping out of the shower or tub. Wall-mounted racks fit easily onto long walls and may include robe hooks for additional storage space; freestanding ladder racks that resemble traditional wooden ladders may come in wood and matte black finishes for hanging multiple towels without permanent installation.
Consider investing in a heated towel rack to speed up drying times and give your linens a warmer, less musty scent. These options can either be hardwired into an outlet or simply plugged in via USB and some come equipped with timers for added convenience.
Repurposing an old coat rack as towel display is an economical solution that provides instant storage space in renter-friendly bathrooms or guest baths. Lower rungs work particularly well to store hand towels and washcloths. Furthermore, mounting one on the back of a door also works effectively – perfect for renter bathrooms that lack closet space!
Floating Shelves
Floating shelves are a stylish yet easy way to add character and interest to a bathroom, particularly small spaces that would otherwise become overwhelming with cabinetry. There is an assortment of wood shelves suitable for almost every design scheme and glass shelves for an eye-catching effect.
Use wicker baskets and canisters to store toiletries and hand towels, decorative elements like vases and greenery to add warmth, or incorporate odd numbers of functional items like cotton swabs and Q-tips in glass jars for visual interest without overwhelming the space.
Though you have the option of installing shelves permanently into a bathroom, brackets may be easier and more adjustable as your needs evolve. To maintain fresh-looking floating shelves, take care in assessing space parameters, choosing shelf style options, installing correctly, and decorating tastefully – these pro tips will give your bathroom shelving its fullest potential!
