Wall Mounted Linen Cabinet

The best spot for a wall mounted linen cabinet is obviously the driest part of your bathroom: that way, your towels and accessories will be there waiting for you after a shower but they won’t get damp by being right next to it.

Alternatively, if you haven’t got much room to spare in your bathroom but you happen to have some in the corridor right outside it, that’s also a handy compromise.

To install a wall mounted linen cabinet, you will need drywall plugs, brackets, screws, level, stud finder, drill, pencil and measuring tape.

First, mark the edges of the linen cabinet and then find your studs within these lines depending on the size of your cabinet. If it is a new build or you are gutting the existing bathroom, factor the cabinet during your planning process. The carpenter may place backing where you want it thus giving the linen cabinet maximum holding power.

Once you have marked the studs, measure from the edge before transferring that to the cabinet. Drill through the cabinet at 12 inch intervals running down. After you have pre-drilled, have someone help hold the cabinet in position as you screw the stud.

With the cabinet secured in place, take the L brackets and secure them underneath the cabinet with a shorter screw and then to the wall using a stud (or drywall plugs if no stud is available). Finally, install the doors and shelving.
