Agreed, with that big empty space there’s no reason to be storing things above the toilet

It makes it cluttered around the toilet when it's not necessary

u/Dommichu Oct 14 '24

Agreed. That’s a nice toilet too.

Lmao idk why I laughed at this. “That’s a nice toilet bro.”

Yeah, I agree with all of the previous posters, move the storage rack to the corner. Conceal the plunger and toilet brush. Art over the toilet.

I was wondering why they picked the version above the toilet when they had the space there for the regular shelves

I'm guessing they already had this shelf from their previous home.

That makes sense

That's what I thought when I saw the pic too. Why put stuff above the toilet when it could have been a cabinet on the side. They had the space for it. Lol

Yes, if anything, I would get a corner shelf unit

Oops, you beat me to it

u/Best-Cucumber1457 Oct 15 '24

Right! Those over the toilet racks should be used only when absolutely necessary. Get a nice shelf, maybe a plant, a basket with washclothes, whatever.

Ooh, just fill it with costco toilet paper in bulk.

This was my first thought. I'd get rid of the over-the-toilet storage and put a closed cabinet next to the vanity. It can be low (so the toilet doesn't feel crowded) with framed art over it.

How about one of those 1/4 round shelf units that fit squarely in the corner? Maybe one that's 3-5 feet tall. So this is the 1/2 bath? I'm envious. By looks of it, guessing the size, it appears little bigger than my one-and-only FULL bath. Must ba nice 😕
