Usually the toilet is small, so the furniture should not be bulky and voluminous, so as not to visually take away a small space of the room.

Before starting work, you should choose your favorite model and draw a detailed work plan. For the manufacture of the closet in the toilet should make a drawing with detailed measurements. There are so many options for shelves and cabinets for sanitary facilities, among them you should choose the one that is suitable for a particular room.

A cabinet mounted on the floor can be considered the easiest to install. Typically, this design is U-shaped. The shelves in these products are both open and closed, there may be mixed types of structures.

A hinged locker in the toilet can be called, perhaps, the most successful choice for sanitary rooms. Such structures are mounted directly above the toilet, it can also be a built-in cabinet in a niche.When choosing such a model, it should be noted that hinged modular systems should not reach the toilet or cistern.

A corner cabinet for the most necessary hygiene products can be a good option for small rooms; it can be hung on one side. A pair of corner shelves that are placed in different angles from the toilet bowl will look good and organic. Directly near the toilet you can build a small technical cabinet, it will become a place where sewage pipes and valves will be hidden, besides, it can become a convenient place to store tools.

A built-in wardrobe can be the most functional furniture for sanitary rooms. It will fit perfectly in a niche, hide the sewage system and plumbing system, create an original and unique design in a small room.

Installation of built-in cabinets should be approached more carefully,since such structures are located directly near the pipes and condensate or a small leak can lead to material damage.

It is quite simple to choose an interesting model of a locker for a toilet, it is only necessary to decide which type will be better suited for this room. The most popular can be considered several models.

• Lockers with rolling doors. Such furniture is often installed in a small room. The convenience of such models is that they have a roll up, products can be hung in the most inconvenient place.

• Shelves using pseudo-blinds. The doors in these models do not use movable strips, so the contents on the shelves will be well ventilated.

• Cabinets with hinged doors. Such models can be of a different design, size. From the choice of the size of the structure will depend on its functionality and practicality.

• Product with compartment doors. For this design there is no need to create additional space in order to open the door. Such products can be hung near the mezzanine.

Shelves can be both closed and open. For closed shelves it is assumed that there are doors that make the construction a bit heavier. However, a locker with a door will contribute to a more aesthetic appearance in the toilet, because sometimes there may be a mess on the shelves, and closed shelves will hide this flaw from the eyes. Mirrors are often hung on the doors, this creates an additional convenience of their use.

AT building stores you can find shelves and lockers for the toilet for every taste, but they are not always the right size or do not fit a particular room.

In addition, building a locker with your own hands will be cheaper than the store version, when doing work, all wishes can be taken into account, which relate to the size, type, color and material for manufacturing.

Near the toilet, you can put a case or cabinet with shelves, such furniture is more suitable for large bathrooms. Often, a roll-out drawer is placed near the toilet bowl, such an arrangement is very convenient in order to get the necessary thing out. Optionally, you can sew a niche over the installation with drywall or close it with a mirror.

Holes are made for a specific size of each shelf.

Standard hinges can be used to secure the door. After fixing the door, you should check how conveniently it opens and closes. When choosing materials for doors, wood, MDF or chipboard are preferred for plates, although it is often possible to find roller shutters as doors.
