Cosmetics, cleaning supplies,Toillettenpapier: Where to put all the little things in the bathroom? We show, how to fit a closet in a small bathroom.
The average German bathroom is just under six square meters. Often enough there is not even enough space for a cupboard or a shelf, to store essentials. Then the question arises again and again: Where to put all the little stuff?
We have designed three practical cabinets for you, which you can easily build yourself. And there is always a spot between the sanitary elements under the washbasin or above an installation base, for a small one, to accommodate made-to-measure closet. Because for detergents, Cosmetics or toilet paper are usually sufficient even in smaller cupboard formats.
Coated chipboard is well suited for bathroom furniture construction. They are in at all hardware stores and timber shops 16 or 19 Available in millimeters of thickness. They are also available as shelf strips in standard widths from 20, 25, 30, 40 and 60 centimeters or as finished shelves with attached edging. These shelves are well suited for building smaller cupboards and shelves, because they, if the standard dimensions fit, only have to be screwed together. We used such finished shelves for our three bathroom cabinets. However, if you opt for coated chipboard with special wood decors or colored surfaces, you have to think about it, also to get the matching edge band at the same time.
Are you not absolutely dependent on custom-made bathroom furniture?, It is often worth taking a look at Holz-, Bau- and furniture markets. Some closet, intended for the kitchen or cloakroom, can often be transformed into a very attractive piece of bathroom furniture with just a few changes.
