We designed this custom cabinet for a recent bathroom renovation project. Now, before you're scared off by the word "custom", it doesn't have to mean expensive. In this case, we went to a local woodworker, and were able to get several cabinets made at a great price. By taking this cabinet all the way to the ceiling, we gave the homeowners a lot of extra storage. This cabinet was 15" deep and 36" wide, but even a 12" deep cabinet would accommodate a lot, and could fit into a pretty tight space.
Here are a couple of other storage ideas:
Hate all those shampoo bottles and soap dishes in your shower. (I can't be the only one who uses 3 different kinds of shampoo, plus conditioner.) Your contractor can build in a shampoo niche between the wall studs, or you can buy the shell premade from such companies as http://www.showerbase2.com/Niches_RTT.html The premade niche is already fully waterproofed for extra protection, then the tile is applied just as it is in the rest of the shower enclosure.
These not-so-traditional medicine cabinets from http://www.iinovators.com/ are actually equipped with a picture frame to display your own art or photograph. The frame swings open, just like a normal medicine cabinet, to reveal great storage. (Oh, if only those Valley of the Dolls gals had had these!)
This above-toilet cabinet was also custom-made to go to the ceiling. These cabinets are traditionally 8-10" deep, but as in all bathroom storage, the taller the better!
Hope these tips might offer you some food for thought. Be sure to send us your questions, and our Saturday postings can be all about you! Send your queries to info@intspacesinc.com
