How to Build a Bathroom Storage Cabinet
Bathroom's seldom have sufficient storage space. Therefore, building a cabinet is essential to organize the space and keep linens and toiletries right at your fingertips. A small, wooden wall-mounted cabinet can be built and hung within a few hours to provide necessary storage.
Supplies
- One sheet of plywood
- Measuring tape
- Circular saw
- Sandpaper
- Wood stain
- Screws
- Screwdriver
- Pair of hinges
- Handle
1. Cut the following wood pieces.
- Sides- Cut two 1 1/2-by-3-feet pieces from the plywood for the sides.
- Top and Bottom - Cut two 1 1/2-inches-by-two feet.
- Back and Door - Cut two 2-by-3-feet
- Shelves - Cut these 1-foot-4-inches-by-1-foot-11-inches.
2. Use sandpaper to remove all the unfinished rough spots.
3. Stain the wood pieces with your choice of wood stain, then set them aside to dry before continuing.
5. Build the cabinet by laying the top and bottom pieces on their edges. Face the two-feet sides facing down, and space three-feet apart.
6. Place the two side pieces in between them to build the box frame.
7. Secure the frame by running screws through the edges into the side pieces. Lay one of the two-by-three feet pieces over the frame. This is the back of the cabinet.
8. Place screws around the perimeter of the box at six-inch intervals.
9. Put the shelves into the cabinet and secure the ends with screws.
10. Install a set of hinges onto one of the door's three-feet sides of the door. Use screws for hinges on either the right or left side.
11. Add a door handle.
