Bathroom storage is always a challenge, but when you're working with a tiny space it can seem impossible. With just inches to spare in some areas of the bathroom, where will you put all your toiletries? How do you get them out without spilling on the floor? What about that extra roll of toilet paper that's always needed at night time? This blog post will answer those questions and inspire you to turn your small bathroom into an organised sanctuary!

Storage Tips for small bathrooms

Since a small space doesn't leave much room for storage solutions, here are some ideas that will work in your small bathroom!

Choose open shelves over vanity

Forgoing a vanity for a floating sink will make your home look more modern, yet it won't provide much storage space. Hanging a floating shelf below the sink will give you both of those things while also giving you an airy feel. Even if you think of upgrading to a new house in Tasmania, these shelves will always be a space saver.

Mount the towel rack/rods at unused spaces

A towel rack is a perfect way to store towels in a small bathroom. But mounting one on the door, over the door or wall above the toilet, or near an empty space will give you plenty of room for storing other items. You can also mount a towel bar at eye level so that when guests enter your home they are greeted with fresh, clean towels and are not running the risk of touching them with their hands.

Use ladders as make-shift towel racks

Ladders are a smart way to add to hanging storage without drilling a hole in the wall or occupying much floor space. Besides, whenever you feel like clearing up some space, just move the ladder out and let the towels dry in the sun.

Go for slim and tall cabinets

Cabinets that are slim and tall make room for extra bathroom storage even in the smallest space between your bathtub and shower. In addition, the floor-to-ceiling design draws attention to the room and may help with your eyesight. This idea also works great for organising small bedrooms.

Use bar carts in your bathroom for mobile storage

Bar carts work well in bathrooms with little to no cabinets or shelves. They can be moved out of the way or closer to the shower as needed. And all the space in the cabinets below can be used for storing spare towels, shampoos, loofah, perfumes and whatnot.

If your bar cart has open shelves - even better! Just add a few handwoven baskets and have a more flexible storage solution for your compact bathroom.

Install built-ins in dead spaces

If you have a wall that is not being used, you can put shelves on the wall for bathing supplies and soaps. You can also use jars to hold toothpaste, cotton balls, and other things.

Built-ins are a way to make storage out of thin air. They take up no floor space. Built-ins will always be in style because they solve a problem by adding storage space to your wall without taking up the floor.

Hang baskets on the walls

For an inexpensive storage solution, mount a set of baskets on your bathroom wall, and you'll never have to worry about where everything is again. The raised sides keep lotions, small towels, and makeup products contained, while the open tops provide easy accessibility.

All you need are nails that stick through the weave of each basket's side to install these basket shelves so they can be hammered into any type of surface like drywall or plasterboard - this will hold them in place without damaging anything! If more room is needed for more oversized items such as toiletries, just add another shelf above the existing one at eye level instead

Use mirror cabinets

These two-in-one multifunctional mirrors are made for small spaces. When closed, it's an on-trend round makeup mirror perfect for last-minute checks of your appearance before you head out the door or to a special event. Then, swing open the doors and reveal beautiful shelves that can hold all your health care and beauty products in one convenient location!

This two-in-one dual-function storage solution will save lots of space while giving you easy access to everything from hairbrushes, combs, and other personal items when needed with its unique swing mechanism design.

Use pull out storage

The best storage is the kind you never see. Several sleek pull-ups magically reveal lots of space for toiletries, cleaning supplies, and towels in an area that would otherwise be empty. The rest of the time, they stay completely hidden.

Add hooks on the left, right, and centre

One way to cut down on the space you don't have is by hanging towels, robes, and other things with hooks. You can do this by putting hooks on the wall. Make sure they are in a pretty colour and arrange them to whatever your utility and creativity suggest.

Use floating shelves

You can always add some floating shelves for storing extra essentials and keep the floor space free and your bathroom roomier. You can find a wide range of such shelves in all kinds of colours, shapes, sizes, and materials.

The best part? You can install them in parallel, in a chain, zig-zag, or whatever pattern the size of your bathroom wall permits.

Conclusion

Bathroom storage is a never-ending challenge, but it doesn't have to be. Finding creative ways to maximise it will not only make your life easier but also give you more time and energy to devote to the other things that matter, like spending quality time with family, friends or getting outside for some much-needed fresh air!

We hope you found some great ideas to help make your small bathroom seem less cramped. From storing toiletries on a shelf above the sink, using a hanging towel rack or installing shelving over the toilet tank- there are many ways to maximise storage space in even the smallest of bathrooms!
