Over time I have worked with a few clients, who learned the hard way that not choosing value over price can cost more in the long run. A client bought a really cute, but cheap bathroom space saver that didn’t last but a few months. Ironically, even though it was bath furniture it wasn’t waterproof. They never noticed if it was labeled waterproof or not, they just said they assumed it was because it was labeled for the bathroom. By it being in the bathroom where there is a chance it will get wet and is subject to the stresses of regular shower steam.
​
With a few splashes of water here and there water wound up working its way under the paint. These small amounts of moisture ended up warping the shelf along with causing the paint to chip off in areas. This was a shock because I just knew bathroom furniture would be constructed with the understanding it will be subject to water and moisture in one way or another, the client was really disappointed.

Keeping true to being earth friendly when managing our projects, this pile of warped wood ended up in her firewood pile. The take-away to the cost conscience, never buy bathroom furniture made of pressed board. I know some accessories may be hard to pass up because they are too cute and even if it is for a short term fix. From the beginning look for furniture that is water-resistant paint, stain, or sealant to keep out moisture. The cheaper route was a waste of money and they had to spend more time and money on a second purchase.

Here is the best part of the experience, not only can I give clients sound first-hand knowledge from helping clients find a more suitable and affordable options. With a little research we found sturdy and just as stylish bathroom furniture options that won’t break your wallet. When selecting storage for the bath we went with wall mounting instead of another floor unit. This also gave us more floor space.
Whether you choose a bathroom space saver that hangs on the wall or whether you choose an accessory that sits on the floor you have a nice selection to choose from. Items that mount to the wall come in an array of styles and designs and floor models can either sit conveniently above the commode or they can be free-standing.

Deciding which unit would be the best for your home will take a little effort, but it was well worth the investment. If you are willing to put in a little time and spend a little money you can find the perfect bathroom space saver for your home.
