Over the toilet cabinet | Over the toilet cabinets

Every time I talk about going for an over the toilet cabinet, I get some really strange look as if I have gone crazy or something. Most people fail to understand why they should spend money on getting an over the toilet cabinet. These are the same set of people who will not think twice before spending 1000s of dollars to get beautiful bath tubs or wash basin. So cost is not an issue.

My experience with over the toilet cabinet

I have been using an over the toilet cabin for more than 3 years now. Everyone someone visits my place, they tend to get more impressed with my over toilet cabin rather than the other more expensive items like the bathtub or basins. You must be wondering why is it so. That is because people get impressed only when they see something that they did not expect in the first place. Expensive bathroom fixtures have become so common place that most people simply take it for granted. When it comes to my toilet cabinet, they get impressed because they never expected it to start with.

Why you should go for a over the toilet cabinet as well

Some people understand bulleted and logical answers better than some one else’s real experience. If you also believe in understanding things based on logic, then the following are some of the important points why you should consider going for an over toilet cabinet.

1. Visit your bathroom right now. Take a look and try to find out the most distracting object. I am quite confident that 80% of you will find the toilet as the most distracting object in your nicely done bathroom. A cabinet helps to divert attention away from the toilet. That in turn will improve the look of your bathroom many fold.
2. What is cost per square foot that you have paid to buy your apartment. An over the toilet cabinet, helps us by making around 100 square feet of storage space free. Just calculate the real estate cost that you are saving because of the cabinet. I am sure you will agree with me that, use of over the toilet cabinet is exceptionally smart.
3. The over toilet cabinet is superbly convenient for people who have a habit of reading something while using the toilet. It will be now easier to keep daily news paper in the toilet itself.

We have already talked about a number of over the toilet storage ideas like over the toilet cabinet and over the toilet shelf.  We shall discuss about other types of over the toilet space savers that can be used to resolve the problem of lack of space in the bathrooms.

The over the toilet space saver improves the décor of the bathroom by providing a distraction from the toilet itself. The space savers provide extra storage space for the frequently used item and reduce the clutter in the bathroom as a result. You can go for an open shelf space saver or a space saver with wooden doors. Bathroom space savers come in several color, shape and materials including solid wood, tubular steel and chrome wire. The final selection is normally based on personal preference and the budget

If you like the look of wood then a space saver with wooden doors is the right choice for you. The wooden doors provide the much needed privacy for your personal belongings like napkin and towels. Some of these cabinets come with an open space for display as well. The open space is ideal for any magazine that you may like to keep in your bathroom.

For those of you who are not that into wood, an over the toilet shelf made of chrome will be perfect. Most of these metallic shelves come for a couple of hundred dollars. hrome may be preferable s wooden items tend to decay in the moist atmosphere of the bathroom.

Please remember that there is a wide variety available and always go for an over the toilet space saver that suits you and your bathroom.

Over toilet shelf is another way in which you can implement over toilet storage ideas in addition to over the toilet cabinet. As a matter of fact it is easier to find an over the toilet shelf compared to finding an over toiler cabinet. The over toilet shelf comes in metallic and wooden varieties.

If you are the type who prefers a metallic look in the bathroom then a shelf over the toilet made of steel or chrome is a great option. It comes within your budget and enhances the look of your toilet greatly. The metallic over toilet shelves come in a price range below 100 dollars. They have a robust steel tube construction that makes them really sturdy. These over toilet shelves have 2-3 shelves to store your daily usage goods.

Alternatively if you do not exactly enjoy the metallic look inside your toilet, then you may go for a wooden over the toilet storage. You can get wooden shelves made of ok or bamboo. The oak shelves tend to be comparatively expensive. The over toilet shelf made from bamboo looks great and performs its function well as well. Please remember that both oak and bamboo shelves are susceptiblle to termite attack especially since they are kept in termites pictures to avoid any serious damage.

Unlike over the toilet cabinets, there are few shelves that come with a door system. That is why the over toilet shelf is not an ideal choice if you intend to store personal items like napkins.

Finally please remember that it is not the look of the shelf itself that counts. Try to go for a shelf that blends well with the other objects in your bathroom. The idea is to make optimum use of the space available while enhancing the look of the bathroom at the same time.
