If you’re in need of more storage in your bathroom, this DIY project can provide both style and functionality. Pedestal sinks are great for small bathrooms, but they lack storage space. If you want to update the look and usefulness of your pedestal sink, consider turning it into a vanity with a cabinet. This simple DIY project allows you to add shelving to your bathroom without needing any furniture construction experience.
Start by measuring your space and sink basin to determine the size of the cabinet you want. Remove the baseboard behind the sink to make space for the cabinet sides to fit flush against the wall. Install a one-by-four plank for upper support and build a base using two-by-fours. Attach these pieces to the wall using nails or screws, making sure to hit the studs. Once the structure is in place, build the cabinet itself.
How to implement this storage hack for your space
The size of the wooden panels for the cabinet sides will depend on the space under your sink. Secure these panels to the planks at the top and base, adding a middle plank for extra support. Install shelves inside the cabinet and attach the doors using hinges. Once the cabinet is complete, you can customize it to match your style.
Bathroom cabinets offer storage and can also enhance the look of your bathroom. Consider painting the cabinet in a fun color or adding decorative molding with trim and wood glue. Choose hardware that complements your space to complete the look.
