Bathroom storage

[Kemik]

Hi guys,

I got my first viewing of my new build today and concentrated on the bathroom as I'm currently buying bits for the house.

The big problem is lack of storage options. I've included a photo of the bathroom below. In hindsight I would have taken a wider photo but I was actually taking it for the tiles. To the right is the bath which takes up the full wall.

The only other space is between the bath and the door (approx 22-25cm).



The space between the sink and toilet is 27-28cm and is up to 62cm high.

Ideas
- Add a shelf to the left of the sink for rolled up towels. I'd have to be careful as drilling into the tile would be a nightmere. Other options?
- Add a small four story rack of baskets between the sink and toilet for shaving products, hair products, tooth brush, etc.
- Buy a shallow cupboard for above the toilet. That space is currently for a mirror, which I still need so would probably go to the left of the cupboard. Alternatively it could be a full wall cupboard wit mirrored front but I tend to think they come out too far.
- On another point, where the hell does toilet roll go?

I'd get a suction toilet roll holder for under the sink i think unless you do end up with a short storage unit for that space.

Good idea! It's either that or put it on top of the basin.

Any chances of say a full height pick from being stood in the bath to the right to get a better feel of the room.

Afraid not. I was a bit rushed. I can go back and measure everything up in a few weeks though. For now, here's a plan. The height is actually out by a few cm (1.96m total) as it's measuring from the middle of the wall.

Get some of these, couple at the tap end of the shower, couple on the left of your sink, maybe one under.

Yeah, thinking of that for the shower to hold shampoo and the likes.

Plenty of space for a wall cupboard with mirrored doors in front of the sink and over the toilet.

Why store towels in the bathroom? Do you not have an airing cupboard?

Might be the only option for hair, shaving, etc products. Might look weird if I only put a cupboard across half and a full cupboard mirror across there will add more light.

No airing cupboard as it's a combi boiler but there is an over-stairs cupboard. I think I'll probably get a towel hanger over the back of the door for showering and then the hand towel will go on the towel radiator.

Cheers for the suggestions so far guys! I want to try and save the tiles so a wide mirrored cupboard with under bath storage and a sucker basket for shower gel and shampoo sounds the cleanest way to store items. Now it's just finding a big enough cupboard that isn't too deep. Also need to make sure there's enough headroom between the toilet and the bottom of the cupboard.

Room needs wall lighting if it has no window, otherwise you are looking in a mirror with the light behind your head.

There's going to be quite a bright LED light in the roof and then a LED downlight above the shower head so the room should hopefully be bright enough.
