10 Fantastic Bathroom Storage Ideas

Isn’t it funny how there never seems to be enough storage space in the bathroom?

With bathroom storage always in high demand, you’ll love these fabulously functional ideas for hiding away clutter, putting your necessities at your fingertips and showing off your beautiful bathroom to its fullest potential.

Consider customised cabinetry. The type of storage you choose will largely be determined by the way which you use your bathroom and it’s often worth getting a professional bathroom design company in to help you optimise your space with customised cabinetry, built-in shelving, hidden cupboards etc.
Use the inside of cupboard doors. These are hugely useful for all sorts of storage options, from attaching a wastebin (which will save on valuable floor space) to hanging a storage rack on the door for cleaning products, toiletries etc.
Use the space over the toilet. This space is largely underutilised, but it can be used to great effect to store essentials like extra toilet paper, room fresheners etc. You can have a mix of closed cupboards and open shelving, so you can use it to hide unsightly items as well as display accessories to enhance your decor theme.
Use the space behind the door. Clothing hooks, towel rails and even fabric or wire storage caddies can be attached to the back of the door to save space.
Use mirrors with storage compartments. There are plenty of stylish, modern and beautiful mirror designs with hidden storage space. Another option is to simply leave space behind your mirror where you can slide (and hide) toiletries, cleaning products, brushes etc.
Consider freestanding storage. Freestanding storage like ladders and cubes are a great way of making the most of the limited space available. Towels can be folded or rolled and placed on the rungs, whilst different containers like wire or wicker baskets can also be used to store bottles of hair products and makeup supplies.
Build a recess in the shower or above the bath. Make use of a double brick wall by cutting into it to create a shower or bath niche where personal care products can be kept out of the way.
Clever corners. Embrace your bathroom corners with special corner units which maximise this tricky – but underutilised – space.
Make your toilet roll holder into a storage compartment. DIY or get a home handyman to build an open frame with an extra shelf to hang around your toilet roll holder. This is a very clever way of storing spare toilet rolls or other bathroom products, eg room fragrances.
Increase storage capacity by attaching holders to the inside of your medicine cabinet or cupboard. Clear Perspex pen holders, business card holders etc can be affixed very easily to the inside of a cupboard to make simple and stylish storage containers for toothbrushes, makeup, brushes etc.

A quick Google search or dip into the Pinterest pics will reveal a multitude of clever, practical and beautiful bathroom storage ideas. However, if your bathroom has become completely cluttered or if there’s simply no space to move, it may be time for a bathroom redesign.
