Cabin Storage Solutions

Most do it yourself decorators don't pay attention to storage until clutter becomes a problem that needs to be addressed. So then, when it is time to consider a storage solution, focus first on the items in your way. If you store cosmetics, cleaning supplies, linens, personal grooming products and appliances, and extra stock, you will want to tuck these items out of visual range. Medicine cabinets work best to free up counter space, but often they aren't large enough to accommodate today's family.

A few tips and tricks to consider – especially for cabin décor – is to hang blow dryers, straighteners and curling irons with cabin inspired hooks or in wire or wicker baskets on wall shelving.

When decorating your bathroom you might want to think about adding a few wicker baskets to set off the look. Wicker has been around for many years and was once a staple in times long ago – when many of our ancestors actually lived in log cabins.

Wicker basket selection is personal and per use – color, size, and style. Painted wicker is popular in cabin décor – if you can't find a color you like they are easy to paint yourself. Furthermore wicker accessories are found in the form of stands, towel bars, shelves, picture frames and more.

It is best to use the wire version of a basket near the shower for extra shampoo and lotions, plus razors as wicker and wood will sometimes rot or hold moisture.

If you are keeping towels in the bathroom and you are short on closet space, consider rolling them up and storing them in large floor baskets or baskets on shelves on the wall. Or, if you have a large renovation budget and room for cabinets, creating them out of barn board or pine with lodge inspired cutouts work well.

Accents and accessories finish the look of your cabin décor bathroom. Aside from wicker baskets, vintage wooden boxes, and large iron accessories, consider your shower curtain, mats and toiletry sets in your lodge or cabin theme. To soften the look and add more fabric to the room, curtains and skirted sinks are two other options to consider. Gingham, checked and wildlife themed fabrics are fun in a cabin bath that you can make yourself.
