They say, wash away your troubles with some bubbles. Sometimes bathrooms are like an idea-mine. But a well-organised bathroom intensifies that. Bathrooms, on the other hand, can be stressful especially if they are disorderly. Today, we are on a mission to help add some value to your personal space.
How do I build floating shelves in my bathroom?
A floating shelf is an ideal way to save space in your bathroom. They not just save space but enhance the look of the bathroom if done the right way.
There are simple hacks that you need to follow to build the ideal floating shelf. The essentials are, wooden planks, a drill, screws, some paint and you are good to go.
How do I style my floating shelves?
Try utilising spaces that are not commonly used. Keep them simple, create a pattern for the shelf and maintain symmetry. Use wood in most places and thrown in a dash of metal to enhance the look. We also suggest some decor elements like plants in a glass jar.
Here are the 20 best DIY bathroom shelf ideas:
1. Rustic
This shelf looks so beautiful in its natural skin. The props placed on it add so much flavour to it.
2. Rectangles
Simple shapes often draw more attention. This is easily doable at home and you needn’t spend a fortune on it.
3. Basic storage
This shelf in its simplistic design can draw a lot of attention with the right props placed on it.
4. The painted one
If you like, you can match the rustic shelves with your bathroom interiors with a dash of paint and a few matching props.
5. The triple-decker
This can accommodate more and looks sumptuous.
6. The hanging house
Try a variant of the triple-decker. Give it a house-like shape by hanging it with a thick rope. Unique and elegant.

13. The circular shelf
Cut-open an iron drum or a bucket and use it as the circumference to the regular shelf. This completely changes the look.

Subtle variations cause so much of a difference. Just add channels to the simple double-decker shelf and throw in a few hooks that can double up as a towel stand.
