Brett and Betsy paired two of these IKEA Godmorgon cabinets together over the toilet in their bathroom for extra storage in a small space. If you’re able to mount things to the wall, these wall-mounted cabinets have the advantage over those sort of terrible etageres that perch over the toilet that they won’t wobble like crazy, and you’re a lot less likely to bump your head. Godmorgon wall cabinet, $90 each from IKEA.
