10 Ways To Maximise Storage Space In A Small Bathroom

Storage is one of the first things that you have to compromise on when you have a smaller bathroom. Keeping surfaces clear and having a place for everything to be put away is more important in a smaller space, as too much clutter can make the room feel even more cramped. 
Check out our ideas for making the most of your storage space in a small bathroom.

  1. If floor space is lacking in your bathroom, adding shelves is one of the easiest ways to boost storage and make use of all wall space. Glass shelving is the best choice for the bathroom as it is easy to wipe clean.

  2. Wall hung basin units are another great storage option for smaller bathrooms, and help to keep your bathroom looking smart and uncluttered.

  3. If you are considering replacing your bathroom sink, choose a basin unit which combines a sink with storage drawers or cupboard space. A mirrored cabinet is another great multi-tasking addition to a petite bathroom.

  4. A shower caddy is a must to keep your shower area tidy and keeping surfaces clear. You can find styles that hook over a shower screen if you don’t want a wall mounted design.

  5. No room on the wall for a towel rail? If you have a glass shower door then you can install a towel rail onto it, for easy access from the shower. Alternatively, make use of hooks on walls or doors- a few placed strategically around the room will ensure you have plenty of space to hang towels.

  6. Use a measuring tape to help you find the right storage to fit your space. Bathroom cabinets come in many different shapes and sizes- a long narrow cabinet is easier to squeeze in if you have a small bathroom.

  7. Get inventive and fit shelves around furniture, making use of empty space in less obvious areas, such as above the toilet or underneath the basin.

  8. Once your storage solutions are in place, make sure that you get the most out of them. Streamline your products so that only have the necessities on your shelves, and use drawer organisers to maximise space within your drawers or cabinets.

  9. Be ruthless - if storage space is at a real premium in your bathroom, only keep what you actually need in there, to save room for the essentials.

  10. Take time to find the right storage for your bathroom, and consider it a worthwhile investment to help you to get the best from your space.
