Homemade Toilet Mobile Shelf

The homemade toilet mobile shelf can be achieved through the following three methods. You need to select an appropriate plan according to the space characteristics and prepare basic tools and materials:

1. DIY Shelf Above the Toilet (Utilizing Narrow Gaps) Suitable for scenarios where the space between the toilet and the wall is narrow (e.g., 25 cm wide). Core materials include a three-in-one toilet paper holder, an iron storage box, a walnut shelf board, along with small handles and magnetic accessories. Steps:

• Measure the space between the toilet and the wall to ensure the width of the shelf board does not exceed the space limit.
• Install small handles on the edge of the shelf board for easy pulling and retrieving items.
• Fix the iron storage box under the shelf board and attach it to the wall with magnetic accessories to enhance stability.
• Install a three-in-one toilet paper holder on the top to achieve multi-functional storage for toilet paper, toiletries, and cleaning tools. Advantages: No need to damage the wall, suitable for rental housing or temporary renovation scenarios. Note: Choose waterproof and moisture-proof materials (such as walnut boards painted with waterproof paint) to avoid long-term moisture deformation.

2. Simple Wooden Board Assembly Shelf (Utilizing the Space Above the Toilet Tank) Suitable for spaces where the toilet tank has sufficient depth and there are support points on both sides. Core materials are old wooden boards, wooden sticks, and a waterproof coating. Tools required are an electric drill, a tape measure, and sandpaper. Steps:

• Measure the distance between the two sides of the toilet and the depth of the tank. Saw the old wooden boards into one large and two small pieces (the large bottom board for load-bearing and the small upper boards for classified storage).
• Drill holes on the edges of the wooden boards and connect and fix them with wooden sticks to form a tiered shelf structure.
• Sand the edges with sandpaper to prevent scratches. Paint with a waterproof coating and then install it above the toilet tank.
• You can add hooks or magnetic accessories to the shelves according to your needs to expand the hanging function. Advantages: Low cost and can recycle old items. Note: Ensure the load-bearing capacity of the wooden boards to avoid tipping over due to placing overly heavy items.

3. Niche Transformation in Pipe Gaps (Embedded Storage) Suitable for scenarios where the protruding pipes in the bathroom create gaps (with a width of 15-20 cm or more). Core materials are tiles, stainless steel, solid wood, or acrylic shelf boards. Tools required are a tape measure and a level. Steps:

• Measure the width, depth, and height of the pipe gaps and customize shelf boards that match the space.
• If choosing tile or stainless steel shelf boards, fix them to the wall with waterproof glue. If choosing solid wood or acrylic shelf boards, support them with brackets.
• Design tiered storage for toiletries, cleaning agents, etc. You can add a splash guard on the top to prevent water stains. Advantages: The embedded design saves space and is aesthetically pleasing. Note: Plan the spacing between the shelf boards in advance to avoid affecting pipe maintenance.

General Recommendations:

• Tool Preparation: An electric drill (for drilling and fixing), a tape measure (for accurate measurement), and a level (to ensure the shelves are horizontal).
• Material Selection: Give priority to waterproof and moisture-proof materials (such as stainless steel, acrylic, and wooden boards painted with waterproof paint).
• Safety Tips: Fix the shelves firmly during installation to avoid tipping over. If electrical circuit modifications (such as adding lighting) are involved, they should be carried out by professionals.
