Use Vertical Height in your Small Bathroom

It is obvious that a small bathroom won’t have much floor space. So, you have to use the space that is usually left unused – walls. Add some height with stacked shelves, hanging closets, or hooks to free up the floor space and create new storage. To utilize the space inside the cabinet, stack bins are the smarter option. Besides saving space, they will free up room for organizers attached to the back of the cabinet doors.

If just plain shelves are not your thing, beautify them with inverted brackets. They look cute and prevent loose items slipping through the sides.

Add Baskets for Storage and Decor

Another height-utilizing option could be hanging baskets. They look beautiful, create a visual harmony when hung in lines or rows, and can hide those ugly bath items that create a messy look inside a tiny bath space. So, affix some good-looking baskets to walls and add polish to the bathroom.

Cabinet Door Mirror

Any bathroom is incomplete without a mirror but a full-sized one is likely to make a small bathroom congested. So, be clever and use a full-length mirror as the door of a shelved cabinet used for bath supplies. You can also go for a small mirror to cover the cabinet of the vanity.

Look to Hidden Bathroom Storage Areas

You have already used the height. Now, it’s time to utilize the depth of the place. The space under your sink is a good option to stash some toiletries and bath supplies. You can use a bin or a rattan basket but sliding drawers could be an option too.

Every inch of a small bathroom is priceless. So, the precious lonely corner above the toilet seat can easily hold a few floating shelves, which will definitely be better than a closet or a rack. One or two slim spice racks just above the sink will also be handy as they can keep the lotions, hairspray, facewash, etc. within your reach.

Keep Small Items Together

What could be the worst nightmare of a tiny bathroom? Scattered tiny items! You can make the use of a magnetic strip to keep the tiniest items like bobby pins, tweezers, scissors, etc. organized. Store the other small items like cotton buds, floss, brushes, etc. in jars and clamp them behind the bathroom or cabinet door.

Create Separate Grooming Areas

If you have to share the bathroom with someone else, especially if you two rise at the same time in the morning, you need to make room for separate grooming areas. In that case, choose a vanity with two sinks and associated storage options. It will prevent grooming items like toothbrushes, combs, hairdryers, perfumes, shaving kits, and other things getting mixed up or lost. It will be a great way to personalize the bathroom so that everyone can use it without clashing with others.

Smart Storage Options

Storage spaces are must-have for any bathroom as they help keeping the grooming tools within reach so that you can grab them quickly and easily. Drawers and shelves in the vanity are effective in storing things without making visible clutter. The options of rollout drawers and adjustable shelves can also be considered. A very effective way is to use multipurpose storage furniture. For example, an open shelf with hooks at the bottom of it can be used for both as toiletries holder and a towel rack.

Clear the Mess of Smaller Items

Smaller items like jewelries and cosmetic items create a really messy look if they are kept unorganized. One solution could be using simple fabric bins. Three or four small bins with labels on them will save you the guesswork while looking for your bathroom toiletries and cosmetic items. Similarly, installing a simple plastic or wooden dowel will make a gorgeous and easily accessible jewelry display. You can install it between a wall and cabinet or two shelves. Use mason jars attached to a wooden board to keep the makeup brushes, toothbrushes, Q-tip, cotton balls, and smaller items like them. It will keep your vanity top clear and bring a farmhouse chic to the bathroom.

Hooks, Baskets, and Pockets

Hooks attached to a board can be used for hanging towels and cups. Separate hook-boards for separate users will make the bathroom-sharing runs more smoothly. If you have towel rods, create new storage spaces by hanging small baskets on them. A small pocket style system can serve as a grab-an-go storage for toiletry bottles. Readymade items like a lazy Susan or a hair styling rack will also keep the bathroom organized.
