Bathroom Furniture Ideas

A bathroom vanity with exposed storage


Bathroom furniture is often added to a space to maximize the room's potential. It can better organize the room and even add an extra aesthetic element. Does this Spark an idea?


Bathroom Vanities


Although not cheap, you can purchase all new bathroom vanities from a home supply store. Bathroom vanities look similar to their bedroom counterparts, only they have plumbing installed to accommodate a sink. You can choose from a variety of finishes and virtually any color of the rainbow. A darker color often look most modern, but lighter colors and finishes can offer vintage feels.


Linen Tower


A linen tower is a chic way to keep your clean towels at the ready. These come in all colors and finishes but will look best when matched with your vanity or sink. Some linen towels offer enclosed shelving so you can place your articles behind closed doors, providing a sense of privacy. Linen towers with enclosed shelving may also contain a drawer, providing you more space to store your towels, washcloths and robes. You can also opt for a linen tower with open shelving. Simply fold your towels and place them on the shelves at the ready.


Space Savers


"Space Savers" are usually a unit that is installed over your toilet. They can be made of anything from metal to wood to wicker and can blend into your color scheme effortlessly. Depending on your needs, exposed space savers are a great place to store supplies like fresh linens and extra toilet paper. You can purchase space savers with a small enclosed cabinet, which makes it possible to store private things like medication and feminine articles. Either choice saves you space and provides immediate access to your things, it just depends on whether you choose to have your bathroom items on display.


Corner Cabinets or Shelves


Corner cabinets and shelves work well for maximizing your space when you have an "open" corner that is unusable for most other things. They can be purchased in any color or finish from metal to wood. Match it to the finish of your bathroom or other furniture for a more put-together look. You can use exposed shelves to place linens underneath and place a candle, figurine or a framed photo on top. An enclosed shelf can hold more personal items or just to create a more streamlined and less cluttered look to the room.


Hamper


A hamper is one way to keep track of all of your family's dirty laundry. Pick a hamper that matches your decor or other furniture. Hampers come in a variety of colors, materials and finishes including wood, metal (with a linen middle) and wicker to match the color scheme of your bathroom. Explore your local home supply store to find the perfect hamper.
