In the bathroom, as in any room of the apartment, the proper organization of space is necessary. Otherwise, even the most refined repairs will look messy and cheap due to deposits of various items.
Optimal solutions
Storage in the bathroom should be organized in such a way that everything you need is at hand, but not striking. Since the things stored in this space cannot be called too attractive, it is better to put them in various lockers, containers and organizers. In addition, the more free space is left, the better the order appears in the room. A large number of small objects creates the effect of crowding and congestion, which negatively affects perception when using a small area.
For towels
In addition to traditional hooks, towels can also be placed in other places in the bathroom. For example, neat piles or baskets with twisted rags are ideal will be located in a niche, filled with shelves. Here it will be convenient to put either decorative objects, or some large bottles and boxes. The only thing to plan this niche still have at the stage of repair work. A similar smaller niche, mounted next to a bathtub or shower, will be an excellent solution for storing shower gels or shampoos.
It’s convenient to attach the bar or towel hooks to the wall shelf, the number of which in the bathroom is not limited by anything. A bit commonplace, but the current technique is the fastening of rods and hooks directly to the front door.An ordinary hanger becomes an ordinary staircase, painted and additionally treated with moisture repellents. Skilled craftsmen build towel storage systems from decorated cans.
Those who don’t like to work hard just lay the towels twisted in rolls onto a stand for wine bottles. Inverted hangers mounted on the wall also solve the problem.
For household chemicals
Laundry detergent and detergents, that is, those dimensional objects that are used regularly, but not everyday, conveniently and even beautifully placed on a rotating tray mounted in a floor cabinet. Such an organization simplifies access to the necessary funds, and also creates a tidying effect. In addition, household chemicals can be placed on shelves mounted at the very top. So they will not occupy a more important place below, but at the same time be in fairly quick access.
For convenience, they can be mounted upside down so that the side brackets provide better stability to stored items.
Hanging shelves should also be fixed above the toilet - this area is usually always free, or above the front door. If space allows, the cabinet under the sink can be equipped with a pair of drawers. Convenient baskets can be put there. Selecting containers is better not only of the same size, but also of a similar style and color scheme. Stocks of sponges, toilet paper, paper towels and other similar items can be stored in the same container.
It makes sense to equip the space under the bathroom with hinged door panels, on which all the required bottles and boxes will be fixed.
For cosmetics
Cosmetics, shampoos, creams and other care products should be removed. into a flat cabinet, which will simultaneously serve as a mirror. It can be placed either traditionally above the sink, or, having ordered the model in full growth, placed at any free wall. A special organizer for the shower is also suitable, which can be purchased in several copies, after which part of the care products should be removed directly to the area of hygiene procedures, and the other hidden under the sink.
In a small bathroom, it makes sense to place corner shelves, which significantly save space.
For children's toys
Children's toys are convenient to place in a polyethylene organizer with pockets of the required size, which is fixed directly in the bathing area. You can take ordinary plastic baskets in which to store dried toys after use and put everything under the bathtub or in the cabinet under the sink.
For other things
Such trifles as a hair dryer, tongs, curling iron and combs are conveniently placed on the inside of the door of the floor or hanging cabinet. For metal objects, it will be possible to prepare a magnetic board, and for the rest, mount convenient fasteners or small containers. Washcloths, shower accessories and toothbrushes are conveniently stored on bolted roof rails. Such a system makes it possible to use not only ordinary S-shaped hooks, but also to hang a soap dish for solid soap or a metal mesh for tubes and bottles on the bar.
Of course, this is a significant saving of space, as well as the implementation of the neat organization of space. If the bathroom has enough free space, then unattractive objects such as basins, rags, buckets and mops are best hidden into a thoughtfully organized roll-out storage system. It doesn’t "callous" the eye, does not take up space, but at the same time allows you to save everything you need.
Unusual and interesting ways
Very unusual ideas allow you to organize the space of even the smallest bathroom. For example, a wooden pallet covered with a water-repellent is placed on a loose wall near the sink.Further on the surface, special round-shaped fasteners are fixed, into which different-sized cans are already inserted.
In transparent containers it is convenient to store cotton buds, cosmetics, creams, razors and other items necessary for hygiene procedures. It turns out not only convenient, but also very nice system.
Some life hacks related to the kitchen space can also be adapted for the bathroom. Alternatively, metal magnetic panels for fastening knives are also suitable for fixing manicure scissors, hairpins, invisibles, nail files and other "owners" of the required material. It is most convenient to fix the fasteners on the rear wall of the cabinets.
Another kitchen “guest” in the bathroom can be shelves for spices, which are ideal for storing any little things. From the corridor to the bathroom can “run across” the supply for umbrellas, which will be extremely comfortable for storing toilet paper.
By the way, the fragment of the pipe remaining after the repair, covered with bright paint, can be an excellent device for storing the hair dryer and curling iron. Any dishes become a stylish container for storing trifles. This can be transparent glasses, deep bowls, flat plates, wide cups or small pallets. In the role of a locker for all these unexpected items, it is worth using a retro suitcase, fixed in an upright position.
Common mistakes
There are a number of errors characteristic of organizing storage not only in the bathroom, but throughout the apartment. First of all, we are talking about the lack of storage space. This moment should be thought over even at the stage of repair, planning niches, ordering shelves in free zones and giving preference to multifunctional furniture. You can try to determine the number of storage places by assessing the volume of existing belongings and adding about 30% for the future. Then quite often there is an incorrect distribution of things on existing systems.
It is important that items for every day can be simply and quickly not only removed, but also removed back so as not to create a mess after each use. The less often the item is used, the more inaccessible place it can be removed.
Another common violation is the lack of strictly designated places for all items. Taking a comb or cream from one place, you need to return them there, and the supply of toilet paper should always fall into the basket intended for it. The lack of zoning also creates a clear inconvenience in the operation of the bathroom.
Cosmetics should be stored next to the mirror, powder supplies next to the washing machine, and children's toys near the bathtub. Finally, ignoring containers, baskets, dividers, and other storage systems is also considered erroneous.
