How to Decorate With a Storage Tower When Using a Pedestal Sink

While pedestal sinks lend a clean, classic appeal to a bathroom, they lack the built-in storage cabinets found in other sink types. Bathroom storage towers provide a solution to this potential problem, by providing ample space in a tall, narrow form ideal for small rooms. You can purchase a free-standing storage tower or have one built-in. Decorate the tower and the bathroom around it to give the room a cohesive feel.

Instructions

    • 1

      Measure the area on the side of the pedestal sink to determine the size of storage tower that the room can accommodate. Avoid cramming it into the space by leaving at least 2 inches on either side of the storage tower, which helps prevent an overcrowded feeling.

      Paint or purchase a storage tower that matches the rest of the bathroom so it blends in. Paint it the same color as the pedestal sink or the color of tile on the bathroom wall or tub.

      Place decorative objects in any storage tower shelves that aren’t covered with cabinet doors. Fill a glass jar with cotton balls or swabs for a decorative yet practical appeal. Roll hand towels and arrange them in a basket for easy access.

      Add a decorative molding to the top of the storage tower to give it a sophisticated appearance. Choose molding that extends all the way to the ceiling if the storage tower is freestanding. This gives it an appearance of being a built-in feature.

      Cover the exterior of the storage tower with tile that matches the texture and color of the pedestal sink to tie the two pieces together.

      Install a towel rack along the side of the storage tower that faces the pedestal sink. Choose a color that matches the hardware on the sink. Hang a colorful towel for drying after using the sink.
