This works with wood or metal shelves, but not with glass. You’ll then attach a hook on the wall onto which the shelf’s bracket will hook. When mounting a floating shelf, there is a bracket on the wall side of the shelf. If you plan to hang a glass shelf, you must use brackets to mount the glass on. The brackets are your opportunity to give your shelf a bit of flair and panache. You could go to your local hardware and buy some basic metal brackets, but that’s boring and lacks style. The easiest way to hang a shelf is with brackets. You might choose a pipe to display, such as vintage-inspired plumbing that looks like cast iron or copper. You can place another shelf below the sink shelf and place towels, toilet paper, and other items on it to hide the pipes. Then consider the plumbing under the sink. This is your chance to make the sink a statement piece and focal point of the bathroom.Ī simple white sink will look classic and clean, but a bold copper or stone bowl will be stunning. Sinks that sit flush with the counter will hang below the shelf and look strange. To make a shelf and sink combo work, you need to choose a sink that sits on top of the shelf. It also utilizes a space that wouldn’t otherwise get used. The rolls will be within reach while you’re, ahem, indisposed. Shelving above the toilet tank creates toilet paper storage. This is easily the most wasted space in a bathroom. If you’re struggling to find a place to hang your shelves, look above your toilet. This requires building knowledge as you don’t want to cut a support beam or risk the integrity of the entire wall. If this space isn’t big enough, you can look at cutting studs. Then mount your shelves in the newly created space. Once you have a hole, you’ll create a recessed space by lining your hole with drywall, wood, subway tile, or stone to finish the recessed cutout. Cut the drywall out between two studs while also ensuring this cutout makes sense on the wall. You’ll then need to locate the studs behind your wall. Look for wall space where you can build your shelves. If you have a plain square or rectangle bathroom, you’ll need to create the space for your recessed shelves. Do you have walls that create corners and indents? These are naturally occurring places where you can simply mount floating shelves. The first method is to look at the architecture of your bathroom. You don’t have to put holes in the wall either, and you can scale the shelf to your available space. These units are a smart choice because you get many shelves in one compact area. You’ll need to have the floor space to accommodate one, so they work better in medium to larger bathrooms. If you aren’t excited about hanging shelves on your walls, then a shelving unit is the storage solution you’re looking for. If you have a sense of humor, there’s no shortage of bathroom decor that’ll garner some laughs. Choose one that has a smell you love or encourages relaxation, such as lavender.Ī final touch could be some small art in the form of a beautiful picture or an inspirational saying. You can also scale them to fit the space you have a single succulent for a tiny bathroom, or an entire planter for a master bath.Īnother obvious addition is a candle or other pleasant scent producing accent. They use the natural moisture in the bathroom to thrive. Succulents and air plants are perfect for this.
Consider an easy to care for plant that doesn’t need watering. The easiest thing to add to your bathroom is some greenery. You could even place your wood shelves in an alcove for recessed shelving. Or perhaps it’s painted white to blend in with your all-white bathroom. Maybe your wooden shelf has an unfinished edge for a rustic and country look.
Wood is a durable material that can adapt to a wide range of decor designs.
If you love the look of wood shelves, but don’t want to DIY them, you still have plenty of options. You could hang several baskets to create a wall display out of them. Place a nail on the wall and hook the bottom of the basket on it. Take your shelf to the next level and string several boards together to create an entire open shelf storage space.Īnother option is to hang decorative woven raffia or wire baskets on the wall. String your rope through the holes and make a loop long enough to hang the rope on a hook in your wall. Then drill two holes in each of the short ends. You can choose a piece of wood that’s the perfect size for your space in both length and width. The easiest DIY shelf idea you can create uses wood planks and rope.
