Improving Storage With A Tall Bathroom Cabinet
Posted by John in category bathroom and storageFor bathrooms without built-in cupboards or closets, a tall bathroom cabinet can provide a great deal of storage without taking up much floor space. These units are a perfect solution in bathrooms where storage options are limited. In small bathrooms that do not allow for bulky decorative stands, or where a pedestal sink with no under-sink storage is the only option, placing personal items and cleaning supplies out of view can be a challenge.
The need for additional storage space can also be an issue for renters who are not able to make permanent changes to the room such as building closets or installing shelving. Even when the bathroom features a linen closet or sink cupboard for storing large items such as cleaning supplies, an
additional cabinet can store personal items and toiletries within easy reach and reduce countertop clutter.
Tall, narrow cabinets are an up-to-date alternative to the over-the-toilet shelving units that offered very little storage space for the amount of space they consumed and made small bathrooms appear even smaller. Today’s sleek, unobtrusive cabinets provide a greater volume of storage space, while taking up a smaller percentage of the bathroom’s floor space. They are low-profile, high-efficiency decorating pieces that are not only practical and functional, but serve as attractive design elements as well.
Most of these cabinets are freestanding, though some can be mounted on a wall for added security. These units generally feature adjustable shelves that allow storage of cleaning supplies, extra towels and washcloths, bathroom tissue and paper products, hygiene items and other health and beauty products. Most also feature a drawer for smaller things such as cosmetics, grooming tools and other easily misplaced accessories. Cabinet doors keep these items out of sight and create a neat and tidy appearance. What they lack in width, they more than make up for in vertical storage space (some cabinets can be up to eight feet tall).
Lightweight and movable, these upright storage closets can be placed almost anywhere in the bathroom allowing for plenty of decorating options. Unlike a built-in shelf or closet, they can be placed to make bathroom operation as efficient as possible, for example, putting extra shampoo or washcloths within easy reach of the shower without having to undertake any major bathroom remodeling work. For those with limited placement options, corner units are available as well.
There is a tall bathroom cabinet to enhance any bathroom and to fit almost every budget and decorating style, from ultra-contemporary and modern in black and white, to rustic and antique reproduction cabinets. There are also heirloom-quality wood pieces, complete with hardware to match custom-designed bathroom fixtures. These cabinets serve as design focal points in addition to providing practical storage solutions.
