How high should a shelf be above a toilet?

We suggest anything that meets the eye comfortably. This also depends on what goes above the toilet. If they are double-decker floating shelves, begin from 5 feet above the ground with a gap ranging from a foot to two feet between the two shelves.

If it is a single floating shelf, place it around 5.5 to 6 feet above the ground. But this entirely depends on what kind of floating shelves you choose to place and hence, there is no fixed condition.

You may like it rustic or classy, but there are simple methods to fix them. The most popular being to drill them directly into the walls. You might also want to use a bracket to place the shelf or just plain adhesive strips, depending on the weight of the shelf is likely to hold.
