Adding The Extra Storage You Need

There never seems to be enough storage space in a bathroom. No matter how much you have, you could always use more. If you're a do-it-yourselfer (DIYer) who's really handy with tools, you can create a stylish bathroom storage cupboard and solve your bath storage organization dilemma in as little as a weekend.

This storage tower works great when you need extra shelves for a bathroom that feels custom made. A vertical storage cabinet in the bathroom takes advantage of the space that often goes unnoticed. Having a wall cabinet in the bathroom helps clear up counter space.

Building a Bath Storage Tower

Most built-in woodworking projects have to be site-specific; that is, their dimensions and sometimes their detailing must be tailored to the requirements of the space where they will be installed. That's definitely the case for this bath storage tower. We designed ours to accommodate the size and layout of the bath shown, so the dimensions we used will almost certainly be different from what you will need to build for your home. This is a bathroom storage design that you can tweak for a custom fit.

As you plan your project, refer to the construction and detail illustrations so you are familiar with how the project is assembled, but make sure you recalculate the overall dimensions and individual parts sizes to fit your site. Note especially that the cabinet consists of three sections: the main cabinet, a base platform, and a filler box that attaches to the top of the main cabinet and provides a nailing base for the crown molding. This allows the entire assembly to reach from floor to ceiling without causing installation problems (due to tight clearance) the way a single full-height cabinet would. Also, plan ahead for any electronic components you'd like to incorporate into your cabinet. Ours was just wide enough to fit a small flat screen television, and we added cutouts in the back panel for electrical outlet boxes.

For easy, pullout storage, consider installing a kitchen Rev-A-Shelf (directions included with shelf) for even more versatility with this storage rack for the bathroom.
