This lets you combine valuable space to hide practical but not pretty items, as well as providing you with areas to display a little decor that turns your bathroom from something purely functional to a room where form can meet function.

For storage over toilet options, you’ll find that there are several different ways that you can take advantage of that valuable overhead space. Two of the most popular options we’ve seen include open shelving or closed cabinets. The kind of storage you’ll need will depend a lot on what you plan to put in your cabinets - are they things that you’d rather not see, or do they have any decorative benefit?
Along with the choice of closed or open shelving comes another consideration: How to mount or support your over-toilet storage. Many such storage racks or cabinets come with their own long, skinny legs for support; others require mounting. You should check to see what types of studs you have in your wall to see if mounting is an option; otherwise, look at ladder-style storage for your best bet.
When it comes to measuring for storage over the toilet, consider the size of the empty wall space. So start by measuring from the empty spot, from at least 6 inches over the tank to the top of the ceiling. Thereafter, measure the width of the available area. If you have more than 30 to 40 inches of width above the toilet, then it's all the better.
