Using Over the Toilet Storage
Although over the toilet storage is often a part of many bathrooms today, you may need to install your own. Here are some options you can consider as you begin this project.
Kinds of Storage Contraptions
There are two main categories of over the toilet storage – permanent and non-permanent.Permanent toilet storage is something you would install directly onto the wall behind the toilet. This kind of storage is very sturdy and can often hold heavier items and equipment. But the trick with this kind of storage is that it is also not something you can tote around from one home to another.
On the other hand, you might want a non-permanent toilet storage system that simply sits in place over the toilet. While not as sturdy, it can be removed whenever you want to remove it - bringing it with you to future homes, if you desire.
How to Organize this New Space
This space is best for toilet paper and soap or other items which might be needed during the course of bathroom use. Instead of having to go to a hallway closet, you could easily access the items you need.
Others find that the over the toilet storage can also work as a decorative touch. By purchasing decorative containers and jars, filling them with cotton balls, cotton swabs, etc., you can create an elegant design that's as useful as it is stylish.
How NOT to Organize this Space
The only thing to keep in mind with over the toilet storage is the minimal space you have. You don't want to overfill this area. Keep it simple to so that you can access the items you want when you need them.No matter whether you choose to use over the toilet storage in every bathroom or just the kid's bathroom, realize there is value in this storage option. However, just because this space is available doesn't mean you can't make it beautiful and safe at the same time.
