If you are considering a bathroom remodel, one of your most important investments will be your vanity. While style, design and quality are all important, so is functionality, especially in the bathroom where storage space is limited. So if your bathroom could use some additional storage space, make sure to maximize your layout during the remodel process. With careful planning and communication with your professional, you can store everything you want in the bathroom, keeping things organized and clutter-free.
One of the best ways to ensure you get what you want is to add custom cabinets to your remodel. Custom cabinets give you flexibility to create the space you and your family need, keeping items off the floor or countertops. And when it comes to style, frameless cabinets are a big trend in the bathroom because their sleek design appears to take up less space in an already relatively small room. You can also leave doors off the cabinets and install drawers or storage containers of various sizes. Here are a few suggestions that will maximize your bathroom storage.
Hideaway Cabinet
Turn the bottom portion of the countertop tower into clutter-free cubby storage for hair-styling tools and other toiletries, complete with a flip-up door and interior electrical outlets. The top part of the tower houses a small charging station, while the bottom has wide, full-extension drawers that hold brushes, curling irons and other bathroom necessities.
Floating Storage
You wouldn’t expect it, but contemporary floating vanities pack plenty of clever storage. Design a large center drawer that houses a custom laundry hamper, and then include drawers on either side that feature dividers for easily organized creams, toothbrushes and more. The nice part about a hanging vanity is it makes the space appear larger.
Combo Solution
A combination of open and closed storage provides efficient organization in any bathroom. Open shelves offer easy access to towels, while pull out drawers with dividers, and a full-height pull out cabinet conveniently store toiletries, beauty items, cleaning products and everyday essentials.
Customize
It’s always a good idea to incorporate as much functional organization into a vanity area as possible. Custom vanities can feature tilt-out trays, drawer dividers and hair-dryer racks. Other ideas include his-and-her vanities, and then adding a tall cabinet that includes pullout shelving and a bar for hanging clothes or towels. You can also create separate storage, by adding two top wall cabinets on each side of the double vanity with adjustable shelves and convenient outlets.
