How to plan bathroom storage

  • Use walls, not floors: wall-mounted storage stays dry.
  • Stainless steel 304 or aluminium for racks to avoid rust.
  • Waterproof cabinets: PVC, WPC or BWP ply with sealed edges.
  • Plan niches during tiling: they're hard to add later.
  • Declutter: keep only what you use daily in the bathroom.

Materials and rough cost factors

  • Mirror cabinets and vanities.
  • Racks: stainless steel grade.
  • Niches: added during tiling.
  • Accessories: rails, hooks, holders.
