 Moving
into a new condominium has tons of benefits. Unfortunately, a huge
bathroom isn't usually among them.
So, you need to make the best possible use of the bathroom space
you do have.
Here are four products that can maximize real estate in the tiniest
of rooms:
Wall-mounted soap and shampoo dispenser units: These eliminate
a crowed, sticky line-up of shampoos, soaps and lotions on the edge
of the bath. Better Living makes a good line, which attach easily
to the wall with silicone. They're available at most home improvement
retailers, with prices ranging from $12 to $60. The company has
also introduced a nifty "toilet Valet," which combines
space for two toilet paper rolls plus space for magazines. It sells
for about $40.
Storage stool: Ikea's Burjsn Storage stool doubles as a hide-away
for bath toys, cleaning products etc. The stools retail for about
$17. IKEA also makes a serviceable bath rack that can be used to
keep brushes, sponges and other skin-care paraphernalia tidy and
handy.
Second cabinet: The area directly above the toilet is usually wasted
space, so it's a good spot to add a second cabinet for storage.
Home Hardware sells a sturdy space saver by Cabinet Works for approximately
$70. Further up the scale is the Cartwright Medicine Chest Cabinet
from Restoration Hardware, which comes in two sizes: small, at $349,
and large, at $499.
TV mirror: The ultimate space saver in bathroom decor may be the
Séura television mirror.
It has an LCD screen built into a mirror. When power for the television
is turned on, you can watch your morning news on one part of the
mirror, while you apply your eyeliner on another.
The Séura television mirror comes in various LCD screen
sizes and a variety of standard mirror dimensions. Custom sizes
are also available.
It comes in two styles: the surface-mount model hangs on the wall
like a picture, while the recessed model mounts flush to the wall.
Don't even consider it unless you think spending at least $5,000
for a television in the bathroom makes sense.
