8 Smart Storage Solutions for Bathrooms

Every home needs a bathroom, and whether yours is small or large, storage always seems to be at a premium. Here are easy DIY solutions to reduce clutter, plus ideas to keep in mind for a future remodel.

1. Choose a Sink With Storage

Pedestal sinks are pretty, but a vanity with a built-in cabinet gives small toiletries a home instead of crowding the counter.

2. Add Shelving and Cabinets

Bathroom storage has traditionally been limited to a linen closet and the vanity. Use the space above the toilet and along open walls by adding shelves or extending cabinets vertically. They are perfect for folded towels or baskets of toiletries.

3. Install Pull-Out Hampers

A pull-out hamper in a closet or cabinet saves floor space, makes the room feel bigger and keeps it looking neat.

4. Add a Medicine Cabinet

A mirror with a built-in medicine cabinet hides toothbrushes and medicines and clears the counter. In a primary bath, a center cabinet between two vanity mirrors does the same job on a bigger scale.

5. Try a Storage Ladder

A storage ladder holds towels and small baskets for extra tissue and soap without taking up much floor space.

6. Use Baskets

Lidded baskets in different sizes keep towels, tissue and cleaning supplies tidy while adding a decorative touch.

7. Add Niches and Shower Shelves

If you are replacing your shower, design in a tiled niche or built-in shelves. Prefabricated shower units with built-in storage and add-on shelving are also options if you are not ready to remodel.

8. Use a Turntable or Pull-Out

Lazy Susans are not just for kitchens. A turntable in a vanity cabinet keeps you from knocking over bottles, and small pull-out trays can work around plumbing.
