What should I do if the bathroom is too small? What should I do if the bathroom storage cabinet is not enough? What should I do if the bathroom is messy and ugly? I believe that many people have these bathroom storage problems, especially the bathroom of a small apartment.
In addition to toiletries, some of us also need to store cosmetics, laundry supplies, cleaning tools, etc. Therefore, when decorating and designing the bathroom, we should not only consider the division and layout of different functional areas, but also focus on the storage space design of the bathroom.
Today, Xiao Ai shares 5 bathroom storage methods, as well as bathroom storage precautions, I hope you can use them.
5 ways to store the bathroom efficiently
1. Make full use of the wall for storage
Bathroom wall storage includes making niches, wall-mounted storage shelves, and top cabinets and hanging cabinets. However, wall cabinets may need to be separated from wet and dry, so let's talk about alcoves and shelves first. If you make a niche, you can put a lot of heavy supplies. However, this price will be a little higher. The ordinary wall shelves are generally on the edge of the shower area, and bath and toiletries are basically enough.
Little Love Tips:
If you choose to make a niche, it is generally two to three layers, and the partition in the middle should not be too thick, about 2cm, too thick to appear bulky and not beautiful enough.
2. Bathroom cabinet + mirror cabinet is essential
The installation of bathroom cabinets in the bathroom is something that every household will do, but it must be matched with a mirror cabinet to be more in line with the principle of storage. Because the back of the mirror cabinet can be used to put commonly used toiletries, it is more convenient to use and efficient to store.
Xiao Ai suggests:
Try to choose the drawer style of the bathroom cabinet, compared with the bathroom cabinet with swing doors, the drawer has a larger storage capacity, and it can be opened and closed with one hand, which is more convenient to use. In addition, the horizontal size of the bathroom cabinet should be more than 90cm, which is too small and difficult to unfold and inconvenient to use.
3. Use the storage position above the toilet
There are usually two options for the space above the toilet, one is a floor-to-ceiling multi-layer shelf, and the other is a shelf that is installed directly above the toilet. The former has more storage, but it also takes up more space. The latter, on the other hand, usually has one or two tiers and is about the same width as a toilet.
There are many of these styles, you only need to match them according to the style of your own bathroom, it is recommended that online shopping is cheaper, and there are more styles, you can search and compare more.
4. Additional configuration of storage cabinets/baskets and other mobile tools
Some small bathrooms can make full use of the small gaps and configure separate storage cabinets or baskets for these "poor" spaces.
Xiao Ai recommends that you choose a corrosion-resistant, moisture-proof and easy-to-care style, and try to choose a smooth and rusty material. Do not use wood or fragile materials.
Little Love Reminder:
If the storage cabinet has pulleys, it should be secured, especially in homes with elderly people and children, in case of accidents.
5. Customized storage cabinet (dry and wet separation bathroom)
If there is one way that has the largest amount of storage and is the most visually tidy, it must be a custom storage cabinet. However, this form requires the bathroom to do dry and wet separation, that is, in the dry area outside the bathroom door, the storage cabinet is customized.
Generally, they are made into full-top cabinets, and some will be embedded in washing machines, dryers, etc., to become housework areas. If the bathroom at home has achieved dry and wet separation, and there is space to accommodate cabinets, you can choose this form, but the price of customized home furnishings is generally slightly higher, and you can choose according to your budget.
Bathroom storage needs to pay attention to these 4 points:
1. Do a good job of classification in storage, such as cleaning supplies, cosmetics, toiletries, etc., classified storage, convenient to use.
2. If you choose a nail-free storage shelf, it is recommended to choose a good quality one and install it in a place that is not easy to be washed by water to prevent it from falling.
3. Attention should be paid to mildew and moisture-proof storage in the bathroom, the storage utensils used should look at the material, and the edges of the mirror cabinet and bathroom cabinet should be edged as far as possible to do waterproof treatment.
4. If you put cleaning tools in the bathroom, try to choose a small model, which can be installed on the wall and does not occupy the ground space.
Finally, Xiaoai still wants to warmly remind everyone that in addition to the above points in bathroom storage, it is more important to break off regularly, and don't hoard too many things that are not commonly used, otherwise no matter how big the bathroom, no matter how many storage methods are enough~
