Ranking the best bathroom shelves for 2022

We are used to the fact that the washroom is nothing more than a narrowly functional room. However, a beautiful comfortable bathroom is not only the status of the owners, but also a source of aesthetic pleasure. Hence the question arises - where to put the bath accessories, towels and so on. This is where multifunctional bathroom shelves come to the rescue. We will talk about the features of the choice of which in the following review.

What are, description and design features

Shelves for the bathroom and toilet are multifunctional devices that allow you to compactly place essentials without obstructing access to them. The best manufacturers present the most modern variations on the market.

1. Wall. This hinged prototype allows you to save more free space on the floor. Such options will look perfect in combination with traditional coasters and floor cabinets.
2. Corner. The most convenient option for furnishing a bathroom. With their help, you can decorate even distant and often empty parts of the room.
3. Floor mounted. Textile accessories are stored in such racks.
4. Built-in structures as in the attached photo below. Non-standard solution, and can be located in any convenient place.
5. Particular attention should be paid to the now popular wall-mounted corner models, and if we are talking about a small room. An error in the calculations creates the risk of losing usable space. Usually products correspond to the sizes:

• in depth - from 5 to 18 cm;
• in width - 30 - 70 cm;
• in height - up to 60 cm.

And if there are sides, the protrusion can be 1-5 cm.

The best accommodation options are:

• above the washing machine;
• directly above the bathroom itself;
• above the linen box.

For a small room, combined options will be a good solution.

1. Mirror with shelves. Suitable for placing daily hygiene items.But it is better to put household chemicals in a closed cabinet or cabinet.
2. Towel holder system. This option does not require a lot of space, allowing you to place bath accessories and dry them.
3. In spacious rooms, racks or open shelves are popular.

Mounting methods

Often, the method of installation and placement of the system depends on the type of assembly, as well as the material of the shelf. Meanwhile, each model has its own installation option. All parts for such products have a special design that allows them to be used in rooms with high humidity. The following types of fastening methods became the most popular for 2022.

1. On suction cups or Velcro - this fastener option is quite simple. It is able to provide a strong connection of the shelf with ceramic tiles, glass and other sliding surfaces. This property will allow you to place the selected piece of furniture not only on the bathroom wall, but also on the shower door. This fastening allows you to easily move the shelf if necessary. However, over time, suction cups may lose their qualities.
2. On self-tapping screws - in this way, fastening is very reliable, and the structures fixed in this way will remain resistant even under heavy loads. However, this method requires making holes in the wall, thus eliminating the possibility of moving the structure. In this connection, it is worthwhile to thoroughly consider the location of the latter.
3. By means of a telescopic connection, moving apart, if necessary, between walls or other vertical surfaces.
4. On hooks or hangers - this option makes it possible to mount original shelves directly:

• above the shower panel;
• to the bathroom plank;
• on the cabin door.

Such baskets are easy to remove and move to another place or take with you when moving.

Modern style solutions

Basics for making

The shelf in the bathroom should not only be beautiful and fit well into the interior. First of all, its quality indicators are taken into account, such as tensile strength and wear resistance. About the pros and cons of popular textures - in the comparative table.

Type of	Advantages	Flaws
From glass	Such designs help to visually expand the space and unload the interior.	Analogues with such a base are very fragile. And also lime spots appear quite quickly on them.
wood look	Since wooden shelves are not the best solution, they are sometimes necessary for a design impulse. In this situation, options with the use of MDF, chipboard, or moisture-resistant drywall come to the rescue. It is used when creating cabinets.	The characteristics of the base do not include durability. And frequent contact with water is reflected in the service life of the latter.
Made of plastic	Such products are difficult to break, they are immune to moisture. The shelves have a good service life without losing their external performance.	They look cheap. When the water is quite hard, it is worth giving preference to darker shades. In this case, they will not leave divorces.
Metal constructions	Most often, these are various alloys coated with a polymer dye or a chromium film. Which serve to prevent the formation of rust and extend the period of operation.	Structures with brass acquire a persistent greenish tint over time. Shelves are considered budget and, according to buyers, are not very durable.
Tile or stone	As a rule, this type of material is more often used for built-in models.They are durable, do not deteriorate from moisture and exposure to temperatures.	They require global changes in the interior.

As you can see, each base for creating shelves has its positive and negative sides. Therefore, it is rather difficult to recommend specifically which model is better to buy, it all depends on personal preference, the chosen style and budget distribution.

Design Tips

Compactness, reliability and spaciousness are, of course, important. But before you rejoice at a successful purchase, you should also think about whether the design will be combined with the rest of the interior. Since each style has its own nuances. Even such trifles in the design should have their own selection criteria.

1. Classic. The design combines unpretentious geometry. An excellent option for such an interior would be variations made of stone, glass or wood with gilded fittings or carved elements. The base is treated with a special solution that prevents the spread of moisture. And a bedside table or shelf made of natural wood will become an exquisite and reliable decoration of the interior.
2. For country, natural materials are also an excellent choice, but here you should adhere to the principle, the simpler the better. As a rule, this style is characterized by structures made of laminated MDF or synthetic eco-veneer.
3. Provence - such a bathroom welcomes an abundance of warmth and light that will help recreate plastic interpretations. They should not be difficult to perform and have a natural shade.
4. For a minimalist style or a high-tech solution, metal ones are more suitable, as well as glass specimens and glossy plastic. Mounted models with intense color are welcome.
5. Art Deco, like neoclassicism, is characterized by wooden shelves, with shiny fittings and fasteners.

What about handmade

No less relevant is the question of creating shelves for the bathroom on your own, since often such reasons as non-standard dimensions of the room, the nuances of the layout do not always allow you to choose the best designs. And thanks to the wide availability of finishing materials, there are plenty of opportunities to make your own bathroom and shower shelves, providing the proper appeal of the interior. The artisan owner is able to build the desired rack:

• stationary;
• compact;
• hinged;
• angular;
• plastic;
• wood;
• metal;
• glass.

The variety of the model is determined by the size and design of the room, as well as the skills of the master. This manufacturing method has its own list of advantages.

1. The ability, taking into account the characteristics of the room, to create a stand that fully matches the style of the room.
2. This approach makes the use of the design as convenient as possible. In addition, this is an indispensable guarantee that a shelf created according to your own sketch will certainly be exclusive.
3. In 2022, handmade creations are one of the fashion trends.
4. The solution will allow you to significantly save on the design of the bathroom. As a rule, the materials used are affordable, and since the final shape is already set initially, the result does not require subsequent adjustment.

List of recommendations for selection and care

1. Product design. The shelf should be in harmony with the general surroundings. Open types are preferable, and if possible, a variation with exquisite fittings and a mirror is a priority.
2. Immunity to temperature extremes and changes in humidity.
3. Bathroom dimensions.Before choosing an element, you should take into account the parameters of the room and the type of its layout. It is better to refuse to install a shelf next to the aisle. And in cramped spaces, hinged models will be relevant.
4. To select a metal structure, you should take an ordinary magnet with you. The particle will stick to carbon alloy products. But you can recognize a product consisting of chrome-plated brass by a yellowish coating at the very edge. A non-magnetic chromium-nickel alloy is also preferred.
5. When making a purchase in an online store, you should be as careful as possible. Dishonest manufacturers can distribute goods that do not meet Russian standards. There are such disadvantages as the poor quality of the bases of manufacture or the lack of fittings.
6. According to numerous reviews, it is worth treating offers from China with a share of healthy skepticism and, before making an online order, if possible, try to pay attention to what the technical specifications are.
7. The cover must not:

• be with obvious cracks;
• exfoliate;
• have mechanical defects.

As for care, here, you should adhere to the following recommendations.

1. Do not allow the shelf to be exposed to alkaline compounds for a long time, this is bad for stainless steel products.
2. Avoid harsh abrasives that can damage the finish.
3. Try not to forget the metal brushes on the surface, microcracks left by them can serve as a conductor of oxidation.
