Storage is one of the most important elements of a functional bathroom, especially in older homes where layouts weren’t built with modern lifestyles in mind. At Elevation Construction, we’ve helped dozens of Cypress homeowners remodel their bathrooms to create both a beautiful and highly functional space. If you’re planning a bathroom remodel and want to increase storage, here are a few of our favorite ideas:
- Ditch the outdated vanity seat area.
We’ve seen many homeowners choose to remove the old sit-down vanity area that used to be popular. While it may have been useful at one time, it takes up valuable space under the countertop. Replacing it with a full vanity featuring ample drawers and cabinets is a simple way to maximize storage while giving the bathroom a more modern, streamlined look. - Use vertical space with center cabinets.
Another option is to install cabinetry between the two sinks and build up from the countertop to the ceiling. This not only adds storage but also creates a visual separation between the two sink areas—giving each person their own defined space for personal items. It’s a great way to reduce countertop clutter and keep daily routines organized. - Repurpose unused spaces.
If your bathroom has an old, cramped stand-up shower separate from the bathtub, consider removing it altogether. We’ve helped clients turn this unused shower space into custom built-in cabinetry with large pull-out drawers on the bottom and shelving or linen storage up top. It’s a great use of square footage that might otherwise go to waste. If you still want a tub, we suggest combining the bathtub and shower into a single unit or opting for a larger, more luxurious walk-in shower. - Build smarter vanities and custom storage.
Custom vanities with built-in organizers, pull-out drawers, and toe-kick drawers (under the cabinets) are excellent options for small bathrooms. They help make use of every inch of available space. Even floating vanities with open shelving underneath can be both stylish and practical.
Maximizing storage isn’t about making your bathroom bigger—it’s about using the space more efficiently. Whether you’re remodeling your home for resale or to create a bathroom that finally fits your lifestyle, our team at Elevation Construction can help you come up with a design that meets your needs and reflects your style.
