Good morning everyone, I recently used the Billy shelving system from IKEA in my living room and find it very flexible. Now I am considering how to use Billy in the bathroom as well. This raises the question: How can I adapt or protect the Billy shelves to withstand the higher humidity and occasional water splashes in the bathroom without damaging the furniture? What practical tips are there for installation, surface treatment, or accessories to make Billy not only functional but also durable in a bathroom environment? I look forward to your creative and proven solutions, including advice on moisture resistance, additional protective measures, and alternative mounting options. Thanks in advance!

Silicone seals on the edges also work well How exactly do I apply these silicone seals? Are there specific products you would recommend for wood or particleboard? And should the seals be replaced every few months, or do they last a long time?

Is it better to install doors or choose open compartments? Open compartments allow better air circulation, which reduces the risk of mold. However, doors protect against splashes, so combine both depending on the location.
