'Did this above the toilet door…so as you look into the toilet you can't see it, but it's still accessible if you run out,' she said in her post, with a photo of her creative tip.

'Seems pretty secure too,' she added.

The tip was a huge hit with other Kmart shoppers, with some discovering the product for the first time.


'Need! How?!' one replied.

While another added: 'Have always wondered why more don't do this.'

'Oh, that's clever!' a third said.

For some shoppers, the tip solved a very annoying problem some parents have.

'Great idea... Will stop the boys from peeing on them beside the toilet,' one shared.

But as clever as the tip is, many pointed out a very practical issue…

With the shelf above the door, how would shorter people have access?


Some Kmart fans joked those too short would need a stick or a pick-up tool to access the storage compartment.

A shopper who had bought the adjustable shelves was sceptic about the product.

'Yep, they didn't hold for very long. My partner ended up screwing timber underneath to hold it,' one shopper shared.

The woman who gave the tip advised: 'Mine is pretty secure even without the things under it.'

'I got my husband to pull it as tight against the wall as he could while I tightened the screws.’

If you’re not short on bathroom storage solutions, this Kmart item could also give you the space you need in other small areas, such as the laundry (between the dryer and cupboard) or even beneath the sink.

Alternatively, tension rods are another great option if you just can’t fit a shelf. They can be used to hang up baskets or create a space for items with handles.


In other news, if you want to enhance your bathroom’s look with an affordable way to add luxury, then these five affordable Kmart products may help.

The first product is a 2-Tier Over-Door Shower Caddy that hangs on the back of your shower door (or bathroom door) and will keep all your shower items stored away neatly.

The next item is a rechargeable Bamboo LED Mirror that lasts an average of four hours per charge. It is incredibly helpful when doing a skincare or makeup routine, as it provides an adjustable view and a great light that could help you see everything.
