Organising shelving in a floor to ceiling cupboard

[MrBirling]

I've had my bathroom remodelled and now have a floor to ceiling cupboard it's a fraction over 90cm wide and probably 90cm deep. My builder is going to install shelves next week so I have to decide what depth and spacing. Any advice?

Would you leave the bottom bit open so I can then store laundry basket etc?

I'll be storing toilet rolls, towels, cleaning products and some toiletries.

Has anyone seen any not too expensive large but attractive boxes etc I can use to organise it. Ideally ones I can label nicely.

I would highly recommend Elfa shelving. You attach brackets to the wall and the shelves are movable. You can get similar systems in Ikea.

Or get transparent boxes so you can see in them.

Definitely agree about space for the laundry basket!

Zara Home and H&M have lots of nice baskets - you can’t write on them but you could tie tags on. For up high, deepish shelving in my wardrobe, I keep towels in an Ikea Skubb storage box with a handle. It’s practical and affordable but definitely not attractive (it’s behind a door though).

A caddy for cleaning products works well as you can pull the whole thing out when you’re cleaning.

Only because you have so much storage… I hate bottles sitting in the shower getting limescaly and attracting soapscum, so maybe I’d make a caddy for each user to pull out when they shower and put away again (but maybe that’s unrealistic).

Also probably not practical, but a pull out shelf where you could fold/roll towels would help me to keep things tidy.
