DIY Wall-Mounted Over-the-Toilet Storage Cabinet

Add storage without sacrificing space. Build this over-the-toilet cabinet. Perfect for the main bath, guest bath, or powder room.

Sometimes a project doesn’t need a big story, it just needs to be useful. And let’s face it, bathrooms almost always need more storage. A cabinet over the toilet is a simple way to keep toiletries, towels, and extra supplies organized without losing floor space.

NOTE: I designed this cabinet in SketchUp to lay out the dimensions and construction details, then used AI to create a “finished” image so you can see what the project could look like once built.

A Few Build Notes Before You Start

I pictured the side panels and door panels recessed into rabbets, but you could also make them true floating panels. I kept them flat for simplicity, although beadboard would add some extra texture.

The back stretchers are set in so the back sits recessed and stays hidden from the sides.

I left the cove molding off the cut list since it’s optional.

While I designed this with pocket hole construction in mind, you can use any joinery method you like.
