One thing people often neglect in their bathroom is storage. In fact, it is not unknown for someone to move into a home, either rented or bought, that is totally devoid of storage; not even a towel rail or toilet roll holder. How the previous occupants managed we well never know; obviously they did not care. Most of us do care, of course, and like to have our bathrooms somewhere between quite well organized to perfectly organized.

Bathroom cupboards and cabinets play a crucial role in bathroom storage, alongside bath and shower caddies, towel racks and towel rails. Unlike the latter, though, the bathroom cupboard or cabinet can play a prominent role in the bathroom décor through their size and presence. They therefore need to be chosen not just with a view to storage of towels, bath accessories, toiletries and so on, but the impact their design and color will have on the overall impression, look and feel of the bathroom.

You will find bathroom cupboards, more commonly referred to as cabinets, of many types and designs, with different purposes. As a general rule they divide into two groups: freestanding bathroom cupboard variations or wall cupboards. Some will be designed for specific purposes, such as bathroom linen cabinets for towels or medicine cabinets for family medicines. Others are made for specific locations, the best examples of which are probably the over toilet space savers. All types may be either freestanding or wall mounted.

If you have the budget available, you can take the opportunity to buy attractive bathroom furniture in either modern or traditional styles. An example of traditional styling is found in the white pine of the Handcrafted Linen Cupboard from Plow and Hearth. This sells at about the $800, so is not cheap bathroom furniture. It is attractively and traditionally crafted with adjustable shelves and wooden knobs.

A mix of modern and classic is evident in an over toilet space saver example from SEI: the Arch Top Space Saver in black at about $180 or less. This attractive storage unit has a sophisticated black finish, glass doors to its cabinet with adjustable shelf inside, two small drawers, and open shelves for storing towel or other items.
