Bathroom Makeovers
Storage solutions
The right storage in the bathroom can make all the difference especially
if you have a lot of toiletries or small children with a lot of
bath toys. Bathrooms are often the smallest room in the home and
that's why storage in the bathroom is vital. No matter what size
your bathroom is we have some great storage solutions to fit all
of your bathroom needs. The first thing you need to do is have a
clean out. Get rid of all the toiletries that you haven`t used in
the last 6 months "if you don`t use them don`t keep them".
Cabinets and boxes
If you have space at the bottom of your bath you can buy this 5
tier shelf storage unit from woolworths. Store your towels, books
anything at all on the 3 wooden shelves, and for your toiletries
there is 3 slot-in baskets. There are wheels for mobility and the
frame is in chrome. The whole thing is 130 cm tall, 35 cm wide and
44 cm deep, and it's easy to assemble yourself. The great thing
is, it creates so much space in your bathroom and is great value
at only £39.99
Rattan cubes are great for storage you can paint them, label them
they can be used in any room in the house. Freemans has a good selection
of storage products.
This seagrass storage cube is wall mountable is great for storing
little bottles of lotions and other small toiletries and is very
attractive to look at. This will look great teemed with others in
a luxurious bathroom that is just for adults. It is a steal at only
£24.99 from Next
You could buy a small wooden box with a lid and cushion it yourself
this will make a great seat to sit and relax while your bath is
running and doubles as a laundry basket to keep all dirty clothes
out of sight.
You can get a great range of bathroom wall cabinets from argos.
They have a great corner unit for only £9.99 which is plastic
but with a bit of paint you would never know other wise.
Shelves
Shampoo and other toiletries look cluttered if they are stored around
your bath you need to keep them neat and tidy and safe from mildew.
Corner units are great and inexpensive and if they are wooden can
be painted to suit the decor.
Storage caddy's can come in metal, plastic, wood and are generally
cheap and will keep all your toiletries neat and tidy.
If you have a family bathroom you can buy some novelty shelf brackets
from B&Q in the shape of aeroplanes, teddy bears, caterpillars
and more the kids will love them.
Towels
You can get many stylish bath rails nowadays that will go well with
any bathroom.
The chrome trolley from Freemans pictured above is great for keeping
towels and all of your toiletries packed neatly away.
Using your bath and sink
If you are good at diy or have a carpenter for a husband you can
make some great storage under your bath and sink to hide away cleaning
products.
Show off
Why not show off all of your toiletries stored in a clear PVC pocket
shower curtain £19.99 from Next
Things around the house
If you look around your home you will find a load of things that
you can use to use as storage for your bathroom.
My aunt had an ingenious idea using a cane wine rack to store her
towels in. Rolled up you can fit about 12 towels depending on the
size of the rack. Not only is it original but it looks great aswell.
Coffee and other glass jars are great for keeping your tooth paste
and brushes neat and tidy and you can paint them to any design you
like using glass paint.
If you are like me you probably like to read in the bath (that's
when I get time) so bring up a magazine rack and hey presto no more
wet mags.
