Add More Storage to a Small Bathroom

Looking for More the Merrier Monday? Please click on the More the Merrier Monday tab under the heading above

Our home has been blessed with a ton of bathroom storage. However, I know that many of you are struggling with bathroom storage. Having lived in a few houses that offered little to no bathroom storage, I know how hard it can be. I thought I would share a few tips to making the most of a small bathroom.

1. Shop for tall but slender furniture. A piece such as this billy cabinet found on IHeart Organizing, takes up little floor space while making the most of your vertical space.




2. Hanging a bucket or box from hooks on the wall, like these ones found at BHG.com, can add additional storage without using up any floor space.


3. Take down your towel bar and replace it with a few hooks. Hooks take up less wall space allowing you to hang up more towels or use the extra space for one of the ideas above.

4. Add storage to the inside of you cabinet doors. This will allow you to store items you use often in an easy to find place.


5. Take out a section of your wall and add storage between the the studs. This is a great way to add storage by using up unused space. Use the area to store your toilet cleaning supplies or your shampoos and beauty products.


6. Look up. Adding a shelf above the toilet, door, towels, or bath tub can add a lot of storage space. Be sure to install the storage high enough so that no one will be hitting their head on it.


I would love to hear your tips for adding storage to a small bathroom.

  2. Great ideas for tiny room. I must admit ours has no space at all only a slim set of draws which fits perfectly into a tiny space by the sink.

  10. I like the hanging boxes and buckets but the best idea of all has to be creating your own built-in storage space in the wall! I would never in a million years have thought of that, but it's such a great idea when space is limited and is perfect for hiding away those ugly toilet brushes and plungers!

  11. Hi Jamie, I really like the idea of claiming the wall space between the studding. This is great for thin items and internal walls. We've got a small inner-city apartment and unfortunately we're not allowed to make such changes to the structure of the building. Insead we've aimed to add storage shelves from the floor to the ceiling along one wall, with a sliding ladder so we can get to the higher places. It's worked really well and, as long as we don't let the shelves get messy, it also really classy (if I do say so myself!) :)

    Our bigger items, like our two kayaks and all the accompanying gear, we keep in our small storage unit. It's pretty handy and we spent a couple weeks looking for storage Basildon - we'd never be able to keep our kayaks otherwise in our small apartment, and it's not too far away for us to drop by at a moment's notice.

    I really like the towel shelf you've got going in that final photo. How high is that? Is it easy to reach?
