Bathroom Shelves

Q: Where should bathroom shelves be placed?

Depending on your needs, bathroom shelves can be placed anywhere in the room, provided it’s not somewhere you might walk into them.

Q: What size should bathroom shelves be?

It depends on your needs. Take measurements of what you plan to store before buying to ensure your new shelves can fit the items as planned.

Q: How high should you place a shelf above a toilet?

The standard height for toilet shelves in Australia is about 600mm above the toilet cistern, or just above head height if you have a toilet with a hidden cistern. If you have tall household members, consider placing the shelving a little higher.

Q: How do you hang floating shelves in a bathroom?

Firstly, be aware of where pipes and electrical cables are laid and give them a wide margin. Shelves should be anchored to the wooden support beams (studs) inside the wall, or for lightweight shelving, anchor pins may be used. Once you know where the floating shelf will be placed, screw the brackets to the wall and slide them on.

Keeping the bathroom neat and tidy is a must, so make sure you have plenty of storage space by installing some bathroom shelves. Whether you’re looking for a small shelf to hold display objects or a solid rack for towel storage, ArchiPro has a hand-picked selection of bathroom shelves from trusted suppliers around Australia.

Featuring the best bathroom shelves in Australia

ArchiPro’s curated collection of bathroom furniture includes floating shelves, hard-wearing storage racks and space-saving shelving. You might be interested in trying some stainless steel racks above the door to keep extra towels nearby, or a small shelf above the toilet to hold extra necessities. If you have a small space you may want to try a glass bathroom shelf as they help prevent a small room from feeling closed in. Shelving also offers a chance to display decorative items like perfume bottles that might otherwise be hidden in the bathroom cabinet.

Types of bathroom shelves

Corner shelves

A bathroom corner shelf in glass is a great option for placing candles where they can light the whole room.

Floating shelves

Floating shelves or bathroom wall shelves are shelves where the brackets are hidden by the shelf itself. Increasingly popular in Australia, bathroom floating shelves help you to store necessary items while using as little space as possible.

Vanities and cupboards

Bathroom vanities and cupboards offer somewhere to store the less aesthetically pleasing bathroom products.

Shelving Units

Bathroom shelving units are versatile and functional storage solutions designed specifically for bathrooms. Bathroom shelving units can help you maximise your storage space while keeping your toiletries and essentials organised and easily accessible.

The advantages of high-quality bathroom racks

High-quality materials prevent issues such as rot or rust, as well as add strength to the shelving itself. Plated chrome shelving resists water for much longer than cheaper alternatives. Using high-quality stained and sealed wood prevents the warping and discolouration of wooden shelves. Glass bathroom shelves are sleek and elegant storage options that add a touch of sophistication to any bathroom.

Lastly, small detailing and decorative touches present in high-quality furnishings can make a surprisingly large difference to the ambience of the room.

How to choose a bathroom shelf that’s right for you

Knowing which bathroom shelf is right for you means knowing what the shelf will be used to store. Shallow, floating shelves provide somewhere to display purely decorative items, while deeper racks and corner shelves are a better choice when an extra storage solution is needed. Small bathroom shelves are compact and practical storage solutions designed specifically for bathrooms with limited space.

Plan out where you would like the shelves to fit in your bathroom and find something that meets those specifications, instead of buying a shelf and attempting to make it fit the room.

Can you put wooden shelves in a bathroom?

High-quality sealed and stained wood is perfectly suitable for use as a bathroom wall shelf in Australia. Composite wood should not be used unless sealed and painted.
