Creating
enough storage space in
your bathroom can sometimes take a little creativity. For additional storage space in a small bathroom, for example, you usually can't just put an
extra shelf or cabinet up on the wall. If you're in a rented apartment, for
example, you'll often want to create extra storage space in your bathroom without drilling any
holes in the walls. Our eight tips below will show you some of the solutions
that are available and show you how you can easily create enough space in your
bathroom for all of your daily needs.
Vanity units
Idea #1 for Storage in the Bathroom:
Vanity Units
The
space under the sink is often overlooked. Vanity units provide a lot of storage space in the bathroom. There are a lot of very different
versions, depending on your needs: wall-mounted or floor-standing, with a countertop sink
or built-in sink,
or simply positioned under a wall-mounted sink. Individual adjustments to the
existing plumbing connections are also possible. That's why vanity units are
not only a good way to create
storage space in the bathroom, but they can also make the room look
cleaner and more organized by concealing the plumbing connections.
Mirror cabinets
Idea #2 for Storage in the Bathroom:
Mirror Cabinets
The perfect solution for small bathrooms is a mirror with built-in storage above the sink. Mirror cabinets
are an ideal place to store all of your personal care products. With built-in
lighting, they can also give your bathroom an aesthetic upgrade in addition to
providing extra storage
space in the bathroom.
Back sides of doors
Idea #3 for Storage in the Bathroom:
Back Sides of Doors
The
back of the door is often recommended for creating extra storage space,
especially in small bathrooms.
Whether attached with a magnetic strip or hung over the top of the door, the
back of the door is perfect for towel hooks, allowing you to free up space that
would otherwise be used for a towel rack elsewhere.
Corner shelves
Idea #4 for Storage in the Bathroom:
Corner Shelves
Speaking
of corners: these, too, are often overlooked. Small or foldable items often
take up valuable storage space in the bathroom, but they can be easily stored
on a corner shelf or in a corner shelving unit.
Towel racks
Idea #5 for Storage in the Bathroom:
Towel Racks
Regardless of whether
you decide to hang your towels on the back of the door, vertical towel racks or
towel rails are another great solution for storing towels in a small area and
freeing up as much space as possible. Incorporating this type of storage in your bathroom
can be an ideal way to get the aesthetic look you're going for. Carefully
chosen towels draped over a towel rack provide the perfect opportunity to add
personalized accents to the other colors in your bathroom.
Shower caddies
Idea #6 for Storage in the Bathroom:
Shower Caddies
Shower caddies are
another storage space idea for small
bathrooms that are easy to incorporate. They can be hung right on the
shower head or faucet and provide space for soap, shampoo and other shower
necessities.
Multipurpose furniture
Idea #7 for Storage in the Bathroom:
Multipurpose Furniture
Seating areas should
also serve as storage in order to create additional storage space in the bathroom. Choose a
laundry hamper, for example, that is sturdy enough that it can also be used for
seating. This is an easy way to combine aesthetics and comfort in a practical
solution.
Wall niches
Idea #8 for Storage in the Bathroom:
Wall Niches
Wall niches are a
little more complicated to install but they are definitely a practical and
visual highlight in any bathroom. They are a perfect spot to store towels and
care products or to house the decorative plants in your bathroom.
