Small Space Storage
7 Small Bathroom Storage Ideas for Tiny Bathrooms
Small bathrooms run out of counter space first. These ideas move everyday items onto walls and doors so the counter stays clear.
Save to PinterestShelf above the toilet
An over-the-toilet unit or two floating shelves turn wasted wall space into storage.
Over-door towel rack
Hangs on the door and holds towels without drilling.
Shower caddy or corner shelf
Keeps bottles off the tub edge and the floor.
Drawer organizers under sink
Stackable drawers make the deep cabinet under the sink usable.
Magnetic strip for small tools
Holds tweezers, clippers and bobby pins on the inside of a cabinet door.
Baskets on open shelves
Matching baskets hide clutter and make open shelves look tidy.
Hooks instead of towel bars
Hooks hold more towels in less space and dry them just as well.
What to look for before you buy
Over-toilet shelves
Measure the toilet width and the height to the tank lid.
Shower caddies
Rust-resistant materials last longer in a humid room.
Adhesive hooks
Check they are rated for wet areas and the weight you need.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using non-rust-resistant products in the shower.
- Overloading adhesive hooks.
- Keeping expired products.
