Hey there, fellow home decor enthusiasts! Let’s chat about a space we often forget but is prime for sprucing up—right above the toilet. It’s a goldmine for storage and style, and I’ve got some nifty DIY ideas to share with you.
Upcycled Window Frame
An upcycled window frame turned into a shelf adds a vintage flair. I found an old frame at a flea market and turned it into a unique storage piece.
Overhead Cabinet
Install a compact cabinet for a clean and organized look. I crafted one with adjustable shelves, making it perfect for stashing away less attractive toiletries.
Reclaimed Wood Unit
Using reclaimed wood for a storage unit above the toilet adds character and sustainability to your decor. I’ve used old barn wood to create a rustic yet modern look that’s both practical and eco-friendly. If you have leftover boards, they can also be repurposed for outdoor projects like a firepit with wood storage.
Acrylic Shelf Display
Use acrylic shelves for a modern and airy feel. They’re perfect for displaying pretty bottles and keeping things light, which I adore in my own bathroom. They even work beautifully if you need to fill the gap between the toilet tank and wall.
Floating Wooden Shelves
Floating wooden shelves are a classic choice that never goes out of style. I love how they add warmth and can be customized with stains or paints to match your bathroom’s vibe.
Vintage Crate Storage
Repurpose a vintage crate as a quirky storage solution. I hung one above my toilet for a charming, rustic look that’s both functional and fun. If you need to secure firearms, similar wooden boxes can even be adapted into discreet gun storage solutions.
Industrial Pipe Shelves
For an industrial touch, use pipe shelves. I crafted these from reclaimed pipes and wood, and they add a unique, edgy vibe that my guests always compliment.
Towel Rack with a Twist
A towel rack above the toilet is a game-changer. In a small bathroom, I hung a sleek metal rack, and it’s become my go-to spot for neatly rolled towels. Once you master bathroom displays, you can try out different ways to fold kitchen towels to keep your culinary space just as tidy.
