Storage is always at a premium in a small space, but nowhere is that more true than in the bathroom. There are so many little odds and ends like makeup, razors, hairbrushes, and toilet paper that need to be put out of the way. If the clutter in your bathroom is getting a little out of control, it’s time to get inventive with storage.
Add Shelves
Add shelves to your small space to make the most of your storage options. Try a waterproof version over the sink, such as metal or glass. There are also over-the-toilet options that won’t take up floor space. If you do have the room, consider a set of sturdy open-face shelves for easy access.
Add a Useful Cabinet
It’s easier than you think to add a cabinet into the cramped space of a bathroom. Swap out your sink counter for a sink that sits on top of an accent cabinet. There are many bowl options that sit on top of the counter instead of inside. You’ll increase countertop space as well as storage below.
Use Hooks
Not every bathroom has place for towel racks, so try using hooks on the bathroom side of the door to hang towels, robes and clothes. You can also use hooks near the sink for wash cloths and hooks inside the shower stall for your loofa.
Side Table
Instead of placing books, magazines or pictures on the back of the commode, consider adding a small table next to the toilet. You can add a lamp and even a phone charger. You can also use the space to store extra rolls of toilet paper!
Baskets
Baskets can also add a decorative touch to your bathroom. Use a basket on the counter to creatively display hand towels. A basket on the back of the toilet can be used for extra rolls of toilet paper and even bath towels.
Just be mindful of your floor space, and make sure you still have enough room to move around comfortably in your bathroom. The storage you choose should not make the space feel cramped.
