I had a question on my blog recently from a reader that asked if I liked those 12” deep upper bathroom cabinets that sat on countertops.
I do.
Not for every bathroom or style, but I’ve done them on many occasions.
Photographers for all these projects, designed by me :-), are Tori Aston and Miro Dvorscak.

These, below, were clad with mirrors to add depth and spaciousness to this small bathroom space.

Even this very slim cabinet was nice, extra storage, just right where it was needed.

I have to say, my clients love them. They can hide outlets and items that need to be charged, like electric toothbrushes, etc. They are all custom built to fit their unique spaces.
We’ve had a few made up as custom jewelry storage.

The question I was asked, was in response to this post about how to make a small bathroom appear larger. The reader was afraid adding these upper cabinets might make the space seem smaller.
I don't think they do, especially if done properly. In this bathroom, we used a two tone scheme with a light gray cabinetry on top that blended into the overall color of the bathroom walls.
