IKEA shelves in the bathroom: 9 suggestions for organizing the space and tidying up in style

The IKEA product catalog is certainly very large and full of solutions for many different needs and tastes. Finding your way around in your choice is not always easy, and for this reason it is useful to have some clear starting points and guidelines to follow. Obviously the first step is to consider the available space of a room, for example the bathroom, by taking the right measurements.

To keep things neat and tidy and have objects close at hand, the most convenient and economical solution is to use shelves, which fit the wall exactly where they are needed and taking up too much space. Here are some ideas for decorating the bathroom with IKEA shelves:

SKÅDIS is the series that IKEA has embraced in an increasingly popular trend in interior design: the use of perforated panels - once typical of the equipped walls of a garage or laboratory - to organize accessories in a compact, dynamic way and being practical at the same time. And they can also be used in the bathroom, placing the small coordinated shelves wherever you want on the panel.

If, on the other hand, you are looking for something that has the smallest visible footprint possible, then glass shelves could be for you, and they are often without a frame and are very thin. There are long ones suitable for placement under the mirror, but also others that can be placed on the sides and are shorter.

If there is a free corner, a small corner shelf unit like that of the VESKEN series is a small expense that can be very useful -  and of course you can always think about customizing the finish with paints of various colors - perhaps even metallic ones.

Free standing towel racks are very nice but they do take up space, like this one, which looks a bit like a miniature clothesline. However, it is perfect to place under some wall unit or shelf that has a similar depth, but can also stand on its own - next to the wall is not a bad choice.

The Hjalmaren wall-mounted towel holder has a very attractive design, and even just a spray can of paint is enough to make it trendy, with a copper finish, for example.

Do you want a narrow shelf for those smaller products you use frequently? You can choose to convert a picture shelf (MOSSLANDA) into a bathroom shelf.

Retractable shelves are always an excellent idea, to be painted as desired.

And just as picture shelves are adjustable, even those designed for spices can be perfect in the bathroom: mounted with the bottoms up, they become safe shelves for smaller and more delicate objects; but mounted with the edge down, they can be used as a shelf equipped with towel holder.

And a little bit of adhesive laminate with a marbled effect (or another graphic you like), can make even a simple metal cabinet with shelves look much more chic!

How would you prefer to (re)decorate your bathroom?
