Creating Extra Bathroom Storage With Built-Ins

By 06/18/2017May 31st, 2023Bathroom Remodeling

Bathroom storage space is often scarce in many homes. This is why many homeowners focus on creating more storage room when they decide to remodel their homes. Built-ins are one of the main ways that contractors can create additional storage in your bathroom. NV Kitchen and Bath presents different innovative ways of building storage in the bathroom.

  1. Slim built-ins near the mirror, or sink

There are often little amounts of space left unoccupied next to the sink or mirror. The contractor can use these tiny spaces to build in slim structures that you can use to place your toiletries among other things.

If there is unused space between mirrors, the contractor can install a slim built-in between the mirrors. You can place the toiletries you regularly use in this built-in to make it easy and convenient for you to access them.

If you have a frameless mirror that stretches from wall to wall, you can break it up by installing shallow niche shelving at the middle. You can place decorations and toiletries on this niche shelving to beautify the bathroom.

2. Built-ins on wall spaces

Look around your bathroom to see if there is any wall space that does not have a purpose. Your contractor will also help you identify any empty wall spaces. You can place a long slim built-in on such a wall space to optimize the storage situation in your bathroom. Your contractor can place a recessed unit on a skinny wall near the entrance of the bathroom.

3. Built-ins above tubs

Another excellent place to have a built-in is on the blank wall above your tub. The built-in will accommodate most of the items that you regularly use when you are in the tub. In addition, it adds more interest in the bathroom by giving the blank wall a focal point.
