One of the neatest ways to provide extra storage in a bathroom is to use over toilet space savers. These are generally freestanding, and on legs which stand astride the toilet, which makes them an instant solution for small bathroom storage problems. You can find stainless steel or chrome space savers, or wooden alternatives in many designs and variations of wood quality.
Over toilet storage comes in a wide range of prices and styles, so finding something to match your bathroom is not normally an issue. It is especially easy to find something for a white themed bathroom, as many of the over toilet space savers are white or have a white color option. Whether your bathroom design is modern or traditional, you should be able to buy over toilet shelves or cabinets, or a combination of both, to go with a traditional or contemporary bathroom design.
Over toilet space savers may also come described as toilet etageres, or simply toilet shelves and cabinets. Their name scarcely matters, as whatever you call them they provide a very useful addition to both your bathroom décor and your available storage space.
From a décor point of view, the more expensive toilet shelves or cabinets are likely to fulfill your desire, as they are likely to be embellished with ornate artwork and design. That applies to both wood and metal. Solid wood examples of toilet space savers, or those with a quality veneer, come in designs that you might associate with other traditional wooden furniture, in oak, mahogany, cherry, pine or other wood. Bamboo and wicker are also available in some stores.
Metal toilet space savers are usually just shelves. Even so, the more expensive ones can be high quality chrome, brass, stainless steel and various powder coated finishes on stainless steel frames. It is the ornate artwork, in the traditions of wrought iron, that can make these metal shelves excellent décor items for a modern or traditional bathroom.
Whichever you choose, be sure to check that the legs are sturdy enough to take the weight you intend to place on them. Some of the very cheap over toilet shelves might not be very stable, but if you buy from a reputable retailer, then all should be well.
