When it comes to storage in my small bathroom, I have three options: an already-full medicine cabinet, a slim under-sink cabinet (and the tiny countertop) with barely enough room to fit cleaning supplies, and two floating glass shelves above my toilet. I’m not one for visual clutter, so I’ve only put a few items on the glass shelves (which makes them an impractical solution). 

That’s why I finally decided to take out the shelves and install an over-the-toilet storage cabinet instead — one that would allow me to store things behind closed doors instead of out in the open. When I saw the Beautiful Fluted Over-the-Toilet Storage Cabinet, I knew it would be the pretty-yet-practical solution I was looking for. 

What Is the Beautiful Fluted Over-the-Toilet Storage Cabinet?

As part of the Drew Barrymore collection available only at Walmart, the Beautiful Fluted Over-the-Toilet Storage Cabinet adds instant storage without taking up much floor space. Instead, it optimizes the vertical space above your toilet. It features fluted double doors, an adjustable interior shelf, and an additional exterior shelf below the doors for even more storage.

It comes in two classic colors: warm honey and rich black. It measures 26 inches wide, 12.1 inches deep, and 66.25 inches high, and weighs 57.32 pounds. (Make sure to measure the space around your toilet to ensure there’s enough clearance for fit and flush!) Ideally, you’ll want help assembling this product — especially when it comes to stacking and connecting the larger parts together.

How the Beautiful Fluted Over-the-Toilet Storage Cabinet Improved My Bathroom Storage

Most over-the-toilet storage solutions I looked for were purely utilitarian — no frills, just added storage (and most of them would have been just fine in my space). But the Beautiful Fluted Over-the-Toilet Storage Cabinet raises the bar. Not only was this a total improvement on the current storage I had, but it was also a stylish addition. 

I love the warm honey color and fluted details, and I love the fact that I can hide most things behind the closed doors and only put what I want on display on the bottom open shelf. The entire storage cabinet feels high-quality — and looks like it, too. Additionally, something I didn’t expect was the immediate shift in tone in my space. Because of the colorway I selected (warm honey), it made me realize that my bathroom was cold and lacking in warmth — and this storage cabinet fixed that.
