DIY Bathroom Storage Projects

Bathroom projects reward careful sizing because the room is often small and the storage needs are specific.

Measure clearances first

Check door swing, fixture clearances, plumbing access and walking space. A shallow wall cabinet may be more useful than a deeper floor unit.

Useful builds

• Over-toilet wall shelves
• Shallow wall cabinets
• Towel shelving
• Freestanding narrow storage

Account for moisture

Bathrooms can expose wood and finishes to elevated humidity and splashes. Choose materials and finishes suitable for the location and maintain ventilation.
