In most Indian homes, especially urban apartments, bathrooms are small. They have just enough space for a wash basin, water closet and shower area, which poses the challenge of storage. Clutter in such a small space gives the room a cramped feel, making one feel claustrophobic.
Of course, it helps to create storage at the planning stage, so that niches and shelves can be built in the wall. However, not everyone has the opportunity. We’ve chosen these seven solutions to give you some ideas on organizing bathroom storage, whether you are designing a new apartment or renovating an old one.
Built-in wall shelves like in this home are great space savers in a small bathroom, where floor space is limited. The addition of recessed lighting in the shelves contributes to the modernity of this professionally designed bathroom. Building shelves into the wall in the shower area provides storage that is handy for easily accessing soaps, shampoos and lotions. Additionally, the tiled surface makes it easy to wash or wipe clean.
Concealed flush tanks are the current trend in Indian bathrooms. They not only make the area seem more spacious but also provide a ledge, which can be used to store toiletries, perfumes and cosmetics away from the splash zone near the wash basin. The black ledge in this bathroom also presents an interesting contrast to the white tiles.
Most modern bathrooms have shower enclosures, with a glass door and wall separating the wet and dry areas. Replacing the glass wall with open shelves is an innovative way of creating additional storage without having to break down tiles for built-in shelves. In this bathroom, the shelves appear to float in space, while perfectly matching the wood and white theme of the room.
Adding storage underneath the wash basin counter is an ideal solution for keeping cleaning liquid, brushes and mops out of sight, giving the bathroom a neat and clutter-free look. It also helps in keeping things off the floor so that the room can be easily cleaned.
For additional storage, fixing a wall cabinet near the bathroom mirror is a good option. It helps to hide away toothbrushes and cosmetics that otherwise create clutter around the basin. It can also be used to keep your stock of replacement toiletries such as tissue rolls and soaps within easy reach.
A quick storage solution in the shower area is a steel or plastic rack that can be hung over the shower or on a hook without having to drill into the tiles. In this bathroom, the double-tiered metal rack is perfect for storing shampoos and shower gels, while the hooks are handy for hanging loofahs or exfoliating gloves. It also keeps to the theme by matching the metal scalloped frame of the bathroom mirror.
Why waste space when it can be used for storage? In this home, the built-in countertop basin extends at a slant towards the wall, creating additional open shelves for storing linen or toiletries that can be easily accessed, while simultaneously keeping the counter free from clutter.
