Creative Options For Bathroom Storage

When it comes to bathroom storage, you have a lot more options than a traditional vanity. Whether you’re wondering where to store towels, extra toilet paper or everyday toiletries, there are so many ways to do it with good bathroom design. In fact, you can make the most of bathroom storage by thinking creatively and strategically about the storage solutions you use. The good news is, today’s market includes all kinds of storage products and solutions, so all you need to know is how to choose from among them and how to use them in your space. What are the best creative bathroom storage ideas for you? What makes the most sense for your space? To help answer these questions, here’s a look at some of the top bathroom storage solutions worth using:

1. A wall cabinet.

   Even in a small bathroom where floor space is at a premium, you can usually find some open wall space — above the toilet, behind the bathroom mirror or elsewhere in the room. Think higher instead of bigger, and consider adding a wall-mounted cabinet that can tuck away toiletries and give you organized storage right in the room. There are wall cabinets in all kinds of styles today, so it’s easy to find one that fits your preferences and works in your space. Plus, you can add cabinets or shelving in such a way to enhance the room’s visual interest.



2. A custom shelving unit.

   One of the best ways to create space where it’s lacking is to work your storage to fit your space. Rather than trying to accommodate your bathroom to bins or baskets, for example, why not create a custom shelving unit that’s measured to your open areas? You can make it exactly the length of your room, exactly the depth that is comfortable, and so on. You could build sliding shelves into your vanity so that storage becomes more accessible and organized, or you might add a shelf above the bathroom door to make the most of your space. This option is especially smart in an irregularly shaped bathroom where finding storage space or solutions to accommodate it can be tricky.



3. Towel racks or bars.

   Towels are a bathroom necessity, and there are lots of clever ways to provide towel storage in the bathroom. You might hang a towel rod on the wall, or you could lean a ladder against the wall and use the rungs for hanging towels in the space. Another way you might store towels or other bathroom items is through a storage tower, a tall, skinny tower with compartments that help add visual interest to your bathroom. Fill the cubbies with clean, folded towels that are ready to use and easy to access for you and guests.



4. A sink skirt.

   Say you have a pedestal sink in a small bathroom. While it looks great and makes the space feel larger, it also prevents you from keeping toiletries and items you need every day close at hand. Here’s what to do: Enclose the area beneath your sink with a sink skirt, made in an attractive fabric pattern or color that works with your design sensibilities. Then, beneath the skirt, you can keep bins, containers or whatever you like — without making your overall space feel cluttered.

The more you discover about bathroom storage possibilities, the more you realize that there’s extra room in those slim spaces than you might think. Whether you’re trying to make the most of a small main bath or just to be strategic about storage in a powder room at home, the four ideas above are a great place to start. By working with what you have and creating storage to suit your space, you can turn your average bathroom into a more useful room.
