Over Toilet Storage Units - Bathroom Spacesavers and Etageres

Do you have to move home often due to work, or perhaps your partner’s job? Well, I used to and it is an absolute pain. It can be exciting in moving to a new location, with much to explore, but usually you have to start all over again as far as the home itself is concerned.

One thing I have always experienced with moving house is that the bathrooms are never quite right. There is not much to plan for a bathroom, yet so often they have been fitted out with a lack of design. Mind you, most of the houses I have bought in the past have been built at a time when toilets were probably out in the yard. However, even with the more modern home, I found the bathroom just not thought through properly.

One common feature in all the bathrooms has been lack of storage space. Looking back, each and every one of those bathrooms could have been improved with an over toilet storage unit of one sort or another. They were generally not available for those past house purchases, and there was no internet to use for research into bathroom storage.

Things are very different today, and there are lots of designs available for over the toilet bathroom spacesavers, shelves, and cabinet units. If you cannot afford a ready made unit of shelves and cabinets, then you can always put up a single bathroom shelf above the toilet yourself. Generally speaking, though, the best storage solution there is for a modern bathroom is an over toilet storage unit, which may see variously described as a toilet étagère, bathroom spacesaver or over the toilet spacesaver.

Over toilet shelves are made of wood or metals, in the popular finishes for a contemporary bathroom, such as polished chrome and stainless steel. Some come with glass shelves with chrome or other metal shelving bracket. If you need enclosed cabinet space, then an over toilet storage unit that is made of wood is your best bet. Those with cabinets are normally made of wood, and can vary a great deal in price and quality, from a cheap wood composite piece of bathroom furniture to one made of solid oak, ash or other solid wood.
