Over the toilet cabinet and shelf storage is a great way to make the most of your bathroom. Bathrooms often store a bevy of items and an over toilet cabinet or shelf is an excellent location for additional storage. Use the space above your toilet to store a variety of bathroom essentials, including extra toilet paper, folded towels, or toiletries. You can also use shelves as a decor statement—floating shelves are ideal for showcasing unique trinkets.
In terms of finishes, a stained or painted wood floating bathroom cabinet above toilet will add warmth to your small space, while a metal or white over the toilet shelf will give your bathroom chic farmhouse charm. To pull everything together into a cohesive look, consider matching the frame of your vanity mirror with your over the toilet shelf.
