What Must You Look For In Over-The-Toilet Storage?
Before any amazon reviews or some salesman confuses you for your choice. You must have a basic idea of how to judge over-the-toilet storage. Here are the basic things you should keep an eye for when shopping for an over-the-toilet storage
SIZE OF THE STORAGE AND TOILET
Not all the over-the-toilet storages are adjustable, especially the bottom shelf. Hence, you must have a general idea of the size of your toilet’s storage and size. Also, having a general idea of the overall space in which you will keep the storage is excellent.
This is especially useful when the storage you’re buying is not adjustable. Adjustable storages can be fixed to fit over the toilet perfectly. But, if non-adjustable storage does not adjust over your toilet, it’s going to be a real headache.
Also, keep an eye on the length of the storage. While most of the shelf-style over-the-toilet storages have a standard length that fits most of the bathrooms, not all the bathrooms are designed at the standard level of roof-floor height. Ensure the storage is neither too long nor too short—just the proper length for best appearance and function.
STORAGE CAPACITY
You wouldn’t want to buy over-the-toilet storage, which offers less storage capacity while you have lots of things to keep on it. The same is the case for too big of a storage capacity for too little things. You will have to spend extra money on some decorations if your things are too less, especially if it’s shelf-style storage.
STYLE
Over the toilet, storages come in various styles. Some are shelf style, while others feature cabinets. Still, there are those with drawers.
The style of the storage depends on what you plan to keep on it. If it’s basic toiletries, the shelf style is best because it offers lesser resistance to grab and use the toiletries. However, if you plan to keep some private things in the storage or don’t use them frequently, then drawers and cabinets are the best options.
CLEANING
Over the toilet storages are part of the bathroom and just like everything needs cleaning. Those storages which feature smooth surfaces are the easiest to clean. Some storages even feature a wipe-clean surface, and those are by far the best in terms of ease of cleaning.
Storages with engraving designs and other hard-to-reach areas are hard to clean. The eventual accumulation of dirt in engravings will make them look very bad in the long term.
DURABILITY
As for everything else, you need to go for a more durable over the toilet storage. You can have an idea about the durability of the thing by having a look at its material. Storages featuring metal or stainless steel in their builds are by far the most durable, while those featuring a lot of wood are less durable. Also, since the bathroom is a humid place, don’t go for storage with a lot of iron, even if it’s painted, because who knows if someone accidentally chips the paint.
STABILITY
And finally, we have stability. As evident, you must go for the design that features the most stability. Some storages come with wall anchors, which are good. At the same time, others feature angled legs, which are again plentiful in terms of stability.
Make sure that what you’re buying does come with wall anchors. Because you wouldn’t want the storage to fall, break itself and your things both.
Conclusion
And that’s pretty much it about over-the-toilet storage options. These things are excellent and offer extra storage while making sure your bathroom design is not ruined, if not enhanced.
Now that you know all the basics there is to know about the over-the-toilet storages, you’re ready to go shopping without the concerns that amazon reviews or a salesman’’s fast accent will confuse you.
