Great Knowledge On Bathroom Basin Storage! Clever Use Of These Places Is Super Practical
Clever use of the odd space under the window: hidden storage of laundry tubs and cleaning tools
Storage is the most important thing. Even if many families invest a lot in bathroom decoration, it is still easy to become a messy grocery store after moving in. Looking at the bathroom in the picture, the space under the window is difficult to store. Placing large and unsightly items such as footbaths and mop buckets will greatly damage the overall visual effect. The principle of practicality over decoration should be adhered to when planning. Although this area cannot be completely hidden behind the door as ideally, the area can also be forced to be partitioned by using light steel keel cement board partitions. The large basin is stored on the lower floor. The upper floor was originally designed as a ladder-shaped shelf. However, in view of space utilization considerations, waterproof and high-strength plastic steel plates were used to add compartments, so that more basins can be stacked vertically. This idea of "demanding space upwards" can maximize the use of vertical space, allowing items that originally affected the aesthetics to return to their corresponding positions.
Vertical area above toilet: closed storage cabinet with glass door
The wall above the toilet is a prime area in the bathroom that is easily overlooked. Although traditional open shelves are beautiful, they easily accumulate dust and have extremely high requirements for the placement of items. A more efficient way is to transform it into a closed locker. Just like the picture shown in the picture, you can customize a cabinet with the same width as the toilet and install a frosted glass door. This has three major benefits. First, the storage capacity is greatly increased, and toilet paper, feminine hygiene products, shampoo, shower gel and various detergents can be hidden in it; second, dry and wet separation is achieved to prevent water vapor from directly invading items during bathing; third, a visually tidy effect is achieved. After closing the cabinet door, the internal clutter cannot be seen from the outside, ensuring that the bathroom has a sense of integrity. The bottom floor can be designed as an open compartment to place commonly used cleaning supplies, which is easy to access and embodies the storage principle of "hide eight and reveal two".
Under the washbasin: Expansion plan to deal with the offset of the sewer pipe
The cabinet located under the wash basin is a tricky area in the bathroom. It is often difficult to use due to the direction of the sewer pipes. Many finished cabinet partition plans will fail due to the misalignment between the sewer outlet and the floor drain outlet, resulting in a very large space being wasted. Professional space planning gives advice not to abandon this area easily. You can use customized "U"-shaped drawers or "L"-shaped drawers to cleverly avoid pipes; or use retractable shelves and multi-layer storage boxes to fill the fragmented space on both sides of the pipes. Although the opening method is limited, this space is suitable for storing rarely used spare detergent, spare toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc. However, it is much more effective to organize them well than leaving this space empty or stuffing them randomly. Making good use of this "invisible" corner will reduce the storage pressure in the bathroom a lot.
High-frequency area on the side of the sink: Create a boutique display cabinet for cosmetics and daily necessities
The area next to the sink is a frequently used area in the bathroom, and the storage design must take into account both practicality and quality. The value of an excellent multi-layer cabinet far exceeds the price. Like this high-quality small cabinet in the picture, the first floor can be dedicated to storing skin care products and cosmetics that are bound to be used every day, so that they can be used directly after washing; the second floor is used to store hair dryers, combs, electric toothbrushes and other commonly used small appliances; the lower floors can be used to store bath towels, towels and toilet paper. There is a method of dividing areas from top to bottom according to the rules of decreasing frequency of use, which is consistent with ergonomics and daily movement routes. If you purchase a high-quality hardware cabinet, it is not only worth the money because of its powerful storage function, but also because it is durable and easy to clean, which can keep the bathroom clean and bright for a long time.
Narrow space behind the door: Use every opportunity to store dirty clothes and sundries
Everywhere in the bathroom, there are some "tasteless" corners, such as the 22-centimeter-wide narrow gap behind the door. And this narrow gap is a good place for professional organizers to "get great value for money". This size is intentionally set aside to enable the narrow multi-layer rack to be installed accurately later. Narrow shelves are flexible in style, such as the four-layer trolley or rattan basket in the picture. They can be used to place dirty clothes according to their colors, or to store cleaning supplies such as toilet cleaners and spare brushes. The blank wall above the door can be used to hang another row of hooks for hanging yukata and other clothes to be changed. The use of such an extremely narrow space is the essence of layout optimization. It does not occupy any effective activity space, but it can create a considerable amount of storage space out of thin air.
What cannot be missing is also the addition of storage tools such as wall tripods. The glass shelf on the right side of the mirror provides a convenient location for toiletries to be easily accessed. Some details such as the porcelain soap dish installed on the wall, although small, can prevent the countertop from becoming wet and the soap body from melting, thus improving the use experience. The reason for the success of this case is that it incorporates every square meter and every corner into the overall storage system. It shows us the true essence of decoration, which is to first find a reasonable home for all items, and then talk about decoration. Only with strong practicality as the foundation can the decorative effect of the bathroom be highlighted. Otherwise, even the most beautiful design will be overwhelmed by the trivial things in life.
