Smart storage ideas for small bathrooms

From your morning shower to your nighttime skincare routine, the bathroom is where we spend the majority of our time. And let's face it: There's nothing worse than a messy bathroom. That's why it's so important to find the right solutions to keep things organized and optimize even the smallest of spaces. Here are some great small bathroom storage ideas—whether you're a renter living in a tiny apartment or a homeowner dealing with a small bathroom.

 

 

As always, start by clearing out any unnecessary products or tools, then organize them in their proper places. If you have floor space, bring in cabinets, storage boxes, or carts to add more storage. Make the most of wall space by hanging bathroom shelves near the sink, over the toilet, or even on a window. You can store toiletries in wicker baskets or buy a sink screen to hide folded towels and toiletries. Finally, don't forget to decorate your bathroom  .

 

Hang shelves on the window

Make space for everyday essentials—like hair care products and toiletries—by installing shelves in the window. However, be aware that some skin care products (like vitamin C serum) shouldn't be stored in bright light.

 

Make use of decorative boxes

Fill these cute bins with frequently used items, like cleaning products, towels, or skin care products. You can place them on floating shelves, so everything you need is within easy reach.

Bring a small bench

If you have a few inches of floor space, a wooden bench can serve as an extra surface for storing towels and decorations. For families with small children, it also makes a handy step stool to reach the sink.

 

Make space for a small closet

Just a small space (about 45 cm) between the toilet and the shower is enough for you to place a three-tiered cabinet. To fit towels and other bathing necessities.

Bathroom wardrobe classification

Optimize closet space by sorting, labeling, and organizing everything you own. Use large baskets for extra linens, clear bins for toiletries, and color-coordinated laundry baskets to make laundry easy.

 

Install Acrylic Shelves

Transparent shelves (glass or acrylic) are great for small spaces, as they look clean, light and almost invisible.

Store essential items in a rattan box

Not only do wicker bins add character and warmth to any interior space, they can also easily hide clutter. Use them to store delicate items, extra toilet paper rolls, and personal care items that you want to keep neat but out of sight.

Display skin care products on shelves

Luxurious cosmetic bottles can easily become decorative items when displayed neatly on shelves. Take the style to the next level by hanging picture lights above.

 

Decorate with small stools

Limited floor space? No problem! A small stool is the perfect way to add charm and decoration to an unused bathroom corner.

Build a secret cabinet

This fun room features a secret medicine cabinet to store the clutter on the counter. When the cabinet is closed, guests won't even know it's there! Your bathroom will still look neat and inviting.

Choosing a wire basket under the sink

A string organizer can help make the most of the space under your vanity. Not only does it look much nicer, but now you'll know where each item is when you need it.

Integrated open shelves

Designed with unique wallpaper and dark blue cabinets, this small bathroom (designed and built by Arciform) has four built-in shelves, perfect for storing towels. If you want to display towels, make sure to choose options that fit the design of your bathroom.

Reuse beverage cart

Your favorite place to stash your wine can double as the perfect portable storage unit. Line the basket with towels, toilet paper, and extra face towels, and place your toiletries on top.

Make full use of the wall

Forget built-in cabinets and ledges. Instead, maximize your space with built-in shelves. You'll have room for practically everything, including towels, decorations, toiletries baskets, toiletries bins, and hair tools.

Try a storage ladder

A ladder provides a place to hang towels and baskets full of extra toilet paper, but doesn't protrude much from the wall, making it ideal for tight spaces.
