A bathroom is a high-traffic space and often the smallest room in the house. This means the constant coming and going of people can lead to clutter. And there’s nothing more uninviting than a bathroom with toiletries and towels scattered around.
The good news? With a bit of clever thinking, you can maximise your bathroom space without compromising on style or aesthetics (we promise!). Here are six storage solutions to get you started:
Tall Cabinets
Tall cabinets can quickly transform a small bathroom with limited storage space. These cabinets offer ample space for towels, linens, and skincare products while efficiently utilising the bathroom space.
You can opt for both closed cabinets and open shelves to ensure a modern and elegant look.
Vanity Unit
A vanity unit is arguably the most traditional bathroom storage solution, and rightfully so!
It is a piece of bathroom furniture that combines a sink with storage cabinets or drawers underneath. You can store a lot of essentials, from toilet paper to a hair dryer. There are two popular types of vanity units:
Freestanding vanity: It stands on its own on the bathroom floor, offering a classic look.
Wall-mounted vanity: Also known as floating vanities, these are mounted directly onto the wall. Wall-hung vanities give a more open feel and leave more free floor space than freestanding vanities.
Carefully select the vanity size, considering the amount of storage you need and the style that best complements your interior aesthetic.
Above Toilet Storage
This is one of the most underrated bathroom storage ideas.
The wall above your toilet is empty – why not put it to good use? Over-toilet storage cabinets have a slim profile and can neatly fit above the toilet.
You can choose from different materials, including wood, metal, or a combination of both. MDF materials are especially preferred because they are easy to clean and last a long time.
Floating Shelves
Wall-mounted floating shelves are excellent for displaying decorative baskets and jars to store toiletries and skincare products. This can reduce the clutter on your sink or vanity countertop.
The best part? Floating shelves are incredibly easy to install. They are lightweight and come with screws and hooks. You don’t need to call a contractor to install this storage solution.
Under-Sink Organisers
If you don’t have a vanity, chances are the area under your sink is being wasted. Your bathroom deserves better than pipes and awkward shapes peeking underneath the sink.
Consider installing budget-friendly organisers, such as stackable baskets, sliding shelves, or even expandable under-sink shelves.
This will keep your toiletries and cleaning supplies neatly arranged and easily accessible.
Built-In Cabinets
If you’re undertaking a bathroom remodel, installing built-in cabinets is an excellent way to ensure more storage.
These are recessed into the walls to save space. Most homeowners install built-in cabinets right above the bathtub to store all their products. Pro tip? Install task lighting inside the cabinet for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
