3 Ways to Use Glass Shelves in a Bathroom Design
Successful bathroom designs combine awesome practical benefits with gorgeous aesthetic appeal. Some elements deliver both, and glass shelving is one of these. Wall shelves can be made from annealed, tempered, or laminated glass. They can be personalized through their dimensions, glass style (clear, acid-etched, or patterned), placement, and the style and finish of the brackets or other hanging system. Because it holds up well to moisture and can be sanitized, glass is a wonderful material for bathroom installations. We’ll delve into three possibilities for enhancing your bathroom with glass shelving.
Better (and Better-Looking) Shower Storage
Most bathroom remodels these days include a clear glass shower enclosure which makes the stall’s interior visible from throughout the room. With this being the case, it’s extra important to keep things clean and tidy. Include custom glass shelves inside the shower to make this easier to achieve. Placement options include:
-
In a recessed niche built into the shower stall
-
In one or more shower corners
-
Near the shower bench (if present)
For starters, glass shower shelves look very nice in their own right and will complement frameless glass. Also, by outfitting your shower with plenty of shelving, you make it easy for everything to have a place and for the shower area to remain uncluttered. Finally, an in-shower glass shelf can also serve as a surface on which to display a decorative piece that styles up the stall.
Transforming Wasted Wall Space
Many bathrooms often have bare, unused wall space. Locations may include:
-
In a corner of the room
-
Above the toilet
-
Near a free-standing bathtub
Floating wall shelves look lovely in a bathroom, and they can be used in a few ways:
-
Equipped with baskets and bins where you can store just about anything and keep the vanity counter free of clutter
-
Used for storage on their own and loaded with rolled towels, stacks of washcloths, etc.
-
Filled with tastefully arranged accent items for purely decorative purposes
If you add glass shelves to bathroom wallspace, just make sure that they don’t extend too far out into the space to interfere with bathroom traffic or access to another fixture.
Inside a Revamped Vanity
Glass shelves can also be part of a bathroom vanity makeover. Try one or more of these if your vanity could use a glowup:
-
Removing the old finish and painting it.
-
Having the wooden door fronts replaced with clear cabinet glass.
-
Replacing the shelves inside the vanity with brand-new glass shelves.
-
Changing out the door knobs and drawer pulls.
If you give the cupboard doors clear glass fronts, the new glass shelves inside the vanity will shine through and help refresh the bathroom.
