Storage Strategies Storage StrategiesA well-planned bathroom blurs the line between utility space and living space; it is both functional and aesthetically pleasing at the same time. The secret to finding the right balance is to first determine what each bathroom really needs to serve its purpose, then to look for storage solutions that meet those needs while complementing the overall scheme.
A busy family bathroom may have very different requirements from a half bath used primarily by guests. In the former, it’s OK to store toiletries and medicines out in the open and to hang wet towels on the back of the bathroom door. In the latter, only essential powder room supplies are appropriate: soaps, hand towels, lotions, tissues, etc. Homes with a single bathroom present a bigger challenge, but this can be met with a combination of concealed storage and practical but attractive accessories. Consider the following options and strategies to find the best plan for your private or public retreats.
