Use the Wall Space

You have to think smartly to use every inch of space of your small bathroom. Your storage problem can mostly be solved if you can use the walls of the bathroom. Hang one or two wall cabinets to make the most of the empty wall space. The different compartments of the cabinets can store various items in an organized manner.

Baskets & Jars

For keeping the small items organized, keep them in several small or medium baskets. Label each of the baskets and store them in the cabinets. You can use mason jars for the same purpose. Install a wooden board on the wall and attach some large pipe clamps in it. The clamps will hold the jars. You can keep odd stuff like make up brushes, cotton swabs, and other such things in these jars.

Freestanding Storage

Some people frequently change the bathroom design or the position of furniture items. Freestanding storage pieces like a simple storage ladder or a sleek cabinet will work well for such a bathroom. You can change this storage piece’s position as you like. Do not forget to paint it in a color matching to the design style of your bathroom.

Use the Space beneath the Sink

If your tiny bathroom does not have any room for extra containers, make use of the space beneath the sink. You can place storage bins or wicker baskets under the sink to keep bathroom toiletries at hand. If you want, install a vintage vanity shelf at first and keep the bins or baskets there. Otherwise, cover them with a patterned sink skirt.

Create Storage above the Bathroom Door

If the ceilings of your bathroom are high enough, use the space above the bathroom door and other wall spaces of the same height to store extra toiletries. You can also install a wooden cupboard at that height to keep the towels. Such cabinets will be available in a flea market.

Small plastic containers attacked to the cabinet doors are useful for storing small stuff.

Inexpensive Storage

Buy inexpensive crates from a crate store and paint them in a nice color. Hang them on any wall or on the vanity to create an inexpensive but functional and decorative solution. You can also use the inside of cabinet doors to keep small things like toothbrushes, eyeliners, and lipsticks organized. Use plastic containers of different sizes for that purpose and attach them to the cabinet doors or any flat surface with a non-residue adhesive.

Try and se if these ideas will help you to keep your bathroom clutter-free.
