A bathroom is a haven of peace and tranquility for millions of people, a room in which we can escape the every day noise and stress of modern living. To truly relax, we need a tidy environment without clutter, which means storage facilities in the bathroom must be adequate for your needs. Those needs can vary between individual families, but generally speaking it is quite easy to provide sufficient storage space for bathroom necessities, toiletries, tissue, shampoos, soaps, detergents and so on.
Small bathrooms, though, might well present a problem, especially with a large family. That is where an over the toilet cabinet or space saver comes in very useful. By utilizing space that would otherwise be wasted, over toilet storage is one of the best small bathroom ideas you can imagine.
The best type of over the toilet storage is freestanding, with long legs that stand astride the toilet itself. They are convenient, as no fixing to the wall is required. They come in two basic types: with a cabinet or with shelves, but the best probably have combinations of cabinet and shelving. They are often described as space savers or etageres.
If you prefer to have an over the toilet cabinet rather than just shelves, then you will find mostly units that are made of some form of wood. Their metal counterparts are usually just racks of shelves. The cabinets tend to be made of various grades of wood, from expensive solid wood or high quality particle board, down to the cheapest plywood, MDF or other wood composite.
In size, the over toilet storage units can range from just a cabinet at eye level, up to a unit that towers towards the ceiling and really makes use of the space available. To be practical, though, it is best to opt of a unit that can be reached without being forced to stand on the toilet or a chair. Almost all toilet shelves and cabinets come into that height range.
