Bath room storage would be the prime concern in any home and the bathroom shelves should serve a double purpose. They provide both space and also act as a decorative piece. These shelves have to be placed in such a way that they are useful, your hands should be able to reach them comfortably and yet they should not be in an area where you can bang your head. It’s a delicate piece of your bathroom décor.
Many factors must be considered before getting your bathroom shelves fit. The first factor being the type of shelf that would suit the bathroom. A glass shelf would be classy and would give an aesthetic look to the bathroom but a wooden shelf would be more durable but then it has to be in a place where there shouldn’t be contact with water. The second factor is to know the spot in the bathroom to fix the shelf.
Bathroom shelves are of various types. They come in the form of wall mounts, free standing and corner units. The reason that one opts for a bathroom shelf instead of built in shelves is because of space constraints so before buying a bathroom shelf one should exactly fix the spot, measure the space and choose a shelf that would exactly fit the dimensions. If one opts to buy a wall mount it is necessary to make sure about the strength of the wall and also about the knobs that would hold the unit. For larger bathrooms shelves with bathroom vanity would bring elegance but the items kept in the vanity case would be exposed to splashing of water.
Bathroom shelves come in different types open type and cubby type etc. An open type shelf would allow one to display the hair wash items, soaps, body solutions etc, whereas in a cubby type one could store the bathroom towels. In smaller bathrooms open shelves can be placed. Open baskets can be kept in every alternate shelf inside which the hair dryer or other electrical appliances or bath room grooming products could be kept. Baskets are also one piece of decorative containers that can be used to keep bathroom necessities like cotton balls, oil etc. Open shelves could be made a little decorative by stocking it with soaps, shaving soaps, scented candles, bath towels, razors etc.
Though there are huge varieties of shelves available the choice should be made for one that would aptly suit the bathroom. The color of the shelves and the theme of the bathroom have to be kept in mind too. If you have a bathroom with a color coordination of black and white, then you will have find shelves either in glass or black and white. Going for wooden shelf would spoil the look of the entire bathroom.
Bathroom shelves need not be made from very expensive stuff. It has to durable, water resistant and should fit in the space you have planned for it. Bathroom shelves at times act a major concealer and can hide all your bathroom products that you don’t want the world to see like your sanitary pads, condoms or even your tongue cleaner.
