Whether you have a small space or room to spare, finding the right storage is key to a pristine bathroom. You want something practical, of course, with storage space for all of your must-haves, but you also want something that fits the look and feel of your bathroom. Bathroom cabinetry can come in the shape of a vanity with endless storage options or a standalone piece for added space.

Check out some of our favorite bathroom cabinet ideas that work well with any style bathroom.

Anne Sage

Even if you require a lot of storage space in your bathroom, a cabinet doesn't have to be bulky or oversized. Look for something streamlined and chic to give off a modern feel, with enough drawers for everything you need to store. Add a bit of stylish wallpaper to help bring the look together.

Here's a cabinet idea that's perfect for a laidback boho vibe. We love the sleek, compact cabinet under the sink that is ideal for small spaces. The hanging shelves above the toilet add even more storage space and help continue the look throughout the bathroom.

Arbor & Co.

Not only does this adorable bathroom feature a Scandi-inspired wooden vanity, but there's also an additional white cabinet above the toilet that blends in with the wall behind it. Painting your wall cabinet the same color as the rest of the room is a great way to add storage that won't stick out.

Smaller bathrooms tend to lend themselves well to floating vanities with less hardware. This allows the storage to blend in with the rest of the bathroom without feeling oversized or bulky. By floating the vanity, you get the illusion of more floor space which adds a bit of extra depth.

If you have a lot of stuff to organize, a vanity or bathroom cabinet with many smaller drawers could be a better choice than one with fewer larger ones. Smaller pullout drawers will give you multiple spaces to separate your must-haves and keep them in order.

Can't find what you want? Consider DIYing it instead.

Chelius House of Design

We love a neutral, unfinished vanity. Look for a natural oak or walnut finish with enough drawers for everything you need. This neutral look is perfect for minimalist or farmhouse bathrooms.

D Burns Interiors

If your bathroom cabinet doesn't have quite enough storage or your bathroom lacks a linen closet, don't be afraid to use the space below the vanity for extra storage as well. Add a few woven baskets and fill them with linens or bath supplies.

Devon Grace Interiors

Not only is this stunning bathroom vanity an amazing shade of navy blue, but it's also filled with endless storage. While a standard vanity runs as wide as 42 inches, you can get a custom piece done in any size you need to fit your bathroom perfectly and provide the storage you require.

If you have an extra storage nook or a small linen closet in your bathroom, consider swapping it for an exposed cabinet to give your bathroom more visual interest and add storage space. Though you may need a custom cabinet to fit your space perfectly, the end result is well worth it.

Dreamy Whites

Sure, this vanity may not offer much in the way of storage, but it offers so much character and personality. If you are designing a guest bath or a hall bath and don't need to add additional storage, a vintage table-turned-vanity is a great idea to add interest to your space.

Sometimes hardware simply looks bulky, especially in smaller bathrooms. Consider removing the hardware and creating a more streamlined look that's perfect for modern spaces.

House of Hanes

If you're lucky enough to have an extra-long vanity like this one, it may be difficult to figure out what to do above the space where there aren't sinks. Here, floating shelves add extra storage and help fill up the dead space between the two mirrors.

13 of 23

House Sprucing

A great way to get even more storage in your bathroom is to use cabinets to extend the size of your vanity and add built-in storage throughout the room. Here, a taller cabinet is added for linens next to the vanity, and is done in the same color and style so it blends together perfectly.

14 of 23

Jessica Nelson Design

Opting for a cabinet or vanity in the same color as the rest of your bathroom is a good idea for smaller bathrooms. A monochromatic look adds depth to your space and gives you more flexibility when it comes to adding accessories to the room.

JLA Designs

There's just something about a rich navy blue that adds a lot of elegance and sophistication to any bathroom. Here, gold hardware plays beautifully with the classic blue cabinetry to create a hotel-like look and feel.

If you need more storage but can't find the right bathroom cabinet for your space, consider DIY-ing one. We love this boho-inspired natural wood cabinet that's perfect for above a toilet or by a sink.

Katie Hodges

This vanity is a lovely combination of a floating vanity and a grounded one, with taller legs that lift it high off the ground but still give it a rooted look. By lifting the vanity off the ground, the bathroom feels cleaner and more open. This is a great idea if you are decorating with eye-catching tile you don't want to cover up.

Latham Interior Design

This stunning bathroom is definitely one for the books. Not only does it feature a fireplace (yes, we are jealous too), but it also has floor-to-ceiling cabinetry that adds unlimited storage for every bath product you could ever imagine.

Rebecca Rollins

This primary bathroom vanity is wonderfully unique and perfect for a custom bathroom. The various counter heights allow for multiple uses, whether you need to store extra stuff or sit down to do your makeup in the morning.

Tara Kantor

One easy way to give your bathroom cabinetry a quick makeover is to swap the hardware out with something a little more unique. Here, leather pulls create a modern look that adds a little more texture to the bathroom.

21 of 23

Reena Sotropa

Another simple way to spruce up your bathroom cabinetry is to paint it with an eye-catching color. A simple coat of paint in a bold hue (like this primary blue) is a great way to renovate your bathroom without doing much at all.

White Sands

We love the reclaimed, roughed up look that this rustic vanity provides. This is a lovely choice for a more unique bathroom look and plays wonderfully with handpainted or vintage tiles.

Erin Williams Design

If you have extra wall space, consider adding additional built-in cabinets to your bathroom to provide extra storage. Paint the cabinets the same color as the rest of your bathroom so it easily blends in and doesn't add any bulk to the room.

20 Beautiful Bathroom Vanity Ideas You're Going to Love

10 smart cupboards and cabinets |

Clever bathroom cabinet ideas are essential to making the bathroom work. 

It has many demands put upon it, not only to be a practical, user-friendly room but also as a tranquil place to relax. Limited or awkward-shaped space can create a challenge when it comes to making the best of any bathroom cabinet space – be it large or small. 

However, the items that need cabinet storage, like towels, numerous toiletries and even candles, can also add to the decorative look of the bathroom, so it's worth thinking about how you can show them off to their best advantage with the best bathroom cabinet ideas.

Have a good look at your bathroom and see if there are any unused corners or, more likely, wall space that could be incorporated into a bathroom storage idea.  

With these smart bathroom ideas, you can keep your bathroom cabinet space looking stylish and store the essential items, too.

Bathroom cabinet ideas

Do you want to make space for the best bathroom cabinet ideas? It might be that you can clear out an old cupboard or replace it with one larger console or a one-off piece. The secret is to add to what is already there without cluttering the main bathroom. 

1. Get creative with color 

(Image credit: Jamie Ivey/Ansel Olson)

Bathroom color ideas might not be the first element you think of when planning cabinet and storage ideas, but it should certainly not be an afterthought. 

A good color scheme is essential for creating the look you want. And you can use everything from cabinets to vanity units to create a standout aesthetic. Adding a bright and beautiful hue to your bathroom will really lift your whole home, bringing this functional space into line with the rest of your decor.

Color-blocking is a great technique for anyone keen to test strong paint colors without over-committing. An all-out approach, with multiple blocks of undiluted color, often clashing, is popular in modern bathrooms.  

2. Source vintage bathroom cabinets

(Image credit: Maestri Studio/Nathan Shroder)

Found pieces all have their place in a vintage bathroom scheme. The key is to reference the look rather than slavishly reproduce it, using statement colors and a less-is-more approach for a vibrant yet cohesive scheme. As long as one decorative item links the color scheme, your vintage bathroom interior will come together. 

'This particular bathroom cabinet was an existing piece from the original seventies construction,' says Eddie Maestri, AIA, principal architect and creative director at Maestri Studio .  We wanted to preserve the cabinet (and its original hardware), but give it a new existence in brilliant cilantro green. I wanted this space to be fashion-forward and bold.'

3. Plan a symmetrical scheme

(Image credit: Etch Design Group)

Symmetry is an interior design trick used to create smart-looking rooms – and it's perfect for large or small bathroom ideas.  

Symmetry provides balance within a room and it often starts from the focal point, whether that be a cabinets in the bathroom or the vanity unit in a powder room. It brings a sense of comfort and rhythm to a space which is an integral part of the design approach.

'Get symmetry right and you can create harmony in every room in your house – and make small spaces feel bigger and tidier,' says  Stephanie Lindsey, principal designer at Etch Design Group .

4. Add storage to your family bathroom ideas

Good bathroom storage ideas are central to maintaining order. 

‘In a bathroom shared by multiple family members it is particularly useful to have a designated area for each person’s own toiletries,’ says interior designer Cherie Lee . ‘This doesn’t need to be anything complicated, but a vanity with smaller, separate drawers rather than one large one, can help to prevent any minor disagreements.’ 

5.

Wow with wood cabinets

(Image credit: Maestri Studio/Nathan Shroder)

Look to the beauty of natural wood to create a spa-like scheme that is warm and inviting. Thanks to the desire to create a sanctuary at home, the bathroom has become a private oasis to help restore mental wellbeing. With this comes a move away from clinical bathroom cabinet styles. Wood is now the material of choice for its natural beauty; it conjures the quiet luxury of a spa. There are many ways to introduce timber to your scheme, from a simple vanities to bespoke built-in solutions. 

'This custom-built vanity was designed with inspiration pulled from the original architect of this 1970 home, as well as from favorite hotel stays,' says Eddie Maestri, AIA, principal architect and creative director at Maestri Studio . 'The design borrows plenty of inspiration from traditional Japanese principals. It is something that greatly appealed to me when we bought the house. I wanted the feel of the bathroom to be masculine, modern, and calming. '

6. Mix modern materials for a luxurious finish

The move towards luxury bathroom ideas that offer a personalized experience provides an even greater opportunity to develop your space as an indulgent retreat. 

'We wanted to create a spa-like environment with a plethora of luxurious touches,' says Jarvis, owner and principal designer at Jarvis Studio . The glamorous and non-traditional look of the bathroom is achieved through the use of marble with polished nickel as cabinets.'

There are few materials that can create a feeling of opulence in modern bathroom design that marble and polished nickel can. Elegant, understated and effortlessly beautiful, this contemporary combination can be used to great effect in the bathroom.

7. Opt for flexibility with freestanding cabinets

(Image credit: Graham & Green)

While fitted bathrooms are unlikely to ever go out of style, there has been a gradual move towards more relaxed-looking bathing spaces. Freestanding bathrooms range from fully unfitted spaces to single pieces, such as a standalone cupboard or moveable console so they can move as your needs change, and even move homes with you. 

'Freestanding bathroom cabinetry is a wonderful way to future proof our homes, ensuring we invest in designs that offer flexibility for renovations,' says Joanna Spindler, marketing manager at Graham & Green . 'Crafted from sustainable, hard-wearing mango wood, this bathroom cupboard is built to last a lifetime. It provides ample storage for folding away clean towels and stashing toiletries, while the caned open weave gives a sense of airiness and space in even the snuggest of bathrooms.

8. Plan your storage needs first 

(Image credit: Neptune)

Give the you bathroom design careful thought and allocate space for all the items you intend to store. If you have children, provide space for cleaning products out of reach. If you're looking at small bathroom ideas, choose mirror-fronted cabinetry to create a spacious feel and don’t waste the area around the sink and in corners – concealed built-in drawers or bathroom corner units are perfect for washing essentials.  

'Finding a home for all of your bathroom belongings can be a challenge, especially with little storage space built in,' says George Miller, home designer at Neptune . 'Investing in a single piece of freestanding furniture can be the perfect solution for creating a little storage, whether it’s as a laundry cupboard, somewhere to keep your toiletries and towels, or simply to display some accessories.'

9. Use soft colors for cabinetry 

(Image credit: Kitesgrove)

There are lots of clever, space-boosting design tricks that work wonders on an ensuite and make a small bathroom look bigger.

'Good storage is so important for keeping the overall feel of a bathroom serene and uncluttered,' explains Katie Lion, interior designer at Kitesgrove . 'In this ensuite bathroom, we designed an expanse of built-in cabinetry to provide plenty of storage and surface space, allowing versatility to use and style the space. Finished in a warm neutral color it is subtle and disappears below the eyeline, allowing you to focus on the elegant marble top and texture of the mirror frames. '

10. Make use of every inch in a family bathroom

(Image credit: Neptune)

A well-planned family bathroom, usually the largest in the home, if only by a few precious inches, can make or break your routine. The best designs are loaded with storage, easy to clean, and perfect for sharing. 

'Choosing the right cabinet for your bathroom can be tricky, and depends on a number of things, most importantly the size of the room, the color scheme and materials, as well as who will be using it,' says George Miller, home designer at Neptune .

'For a larger, family bathroom you may want to think about a practical unit with plenty of storage, something which can be painted in a color to match the style of the room. A soft, neutral shade might work nicely to complement the cooler surfaces and colors often found in bathrooms.'

Your bathroom should feel personal and have the same haven feeling as the rest of your home. Soothing pastels and off-whites help to ensure the room feels relaxing while also maintaining a feeling of spaciousness due to the lightness of the colors.

How can I add cabinets to my bathroom?

There are many ways to add cabinets to your bathroom, much like bathroom shelf ideas, no matter the size or style. If space is limited, keep the cabinets wall hung to create a sense of space and give a sleek, ‘floating’ look. Although hidden storage is practical, don’t be tempted to shut everything away. 

'It's now possible to source a vanity unit or cabinet to suit bathrooms of all shapes and sizes, all tastes and budgets. There's really no excuse not to enjoy the beauty and convenience that a vanity unit affords,' says Mark Walker of Bagno Design . 

A cabinet-style vanity consisting of cupboards, open-shelves, or drawers, or a combination of all three, will help maintain order in your bathroom.

This is one of the smaller master bathrooms we've worked on, in scale with the rest of the home. But it features a large skylight and a just-fine floor plan-- both of which we kept. The custom asymmetrical (larger at the top) wall cabinet will hold so much more than their previous couple of drawers, and fits in a little funk in the space.

Cabinets in the bathroom make it possible to use every centimeter of space functionally. For convenience in everyday life and to ensure everyday order in the bathroom, convenient storage systems are needed. And if textiles (towels and bathrobes) with a lack of space can be stored in other rooms, pantries or dressing rooms, then for cosmetics, perfumes, hygiene items and accessories, cleaning gels and powders, it is better to find drawers and shelves in bathroom cabinets. There is also a place for a convenient laundry basket.

It is better to think about choosing suitable models at the preliminary stage of repair, when it is planned to place all communications, plumbing, and a washing machine. On the one hand, it is necessary to determine which set of cabinets can be placed on the available space, on the other hand, to calculate what storage systems are required. For small bathrooms, models with a mirrored facade, placed above the washbasin, are convenient. In spacious rooms, you can leave a familiar mirror above the sink and complement the standard set with tall pencil cases. Manufacturers offer spacious column cabinets with shelves, drawers, compartments with hinged doors and linen baskets.

Choice of design

The choice of a bathroom cabinet is often determined by the stylistic decision of the room. Classical furniture is a variety of options from the refined and rich in decorative details of luxury, characteristic of the palaces of the epoch of the 18th-19th centuries, to the restrained retro of the early or mid-twentieth century. No less varied and modern style. Laconic minimalism, outrageous futurism, eclectic modern, Scandinavian, Mediterranean or oriental motifs - these are not all possible options.

For an interior designed in the spirit of palace classics, a pencil case from the Misty Baroque series with a relief ornament on the facades, decor stylized as antique columns, and elegant metal handles is suitable.

Another amazing piece of retro style Cezares Tulip TULIPCOLO. Curved legs, smooth lines of the body, an exquisite pattern on the facade will look great in a Provence-style bathroom. The model is offered by the manufacturer in several colors: white, walnut, mahogany, gold, silver.

The Labor Legno Victoria cabinet made of solid wood with a glass door and bronze fittings will fit into the country-style bathroom.

Those who decide to decorate the room in the spirit of minimalism will like the Duravit Ketho cabinet-pencil case.

The collection includes monophonic and combined variants of garnet red, graphite, basalt, matte white colors.

Mirror models

For small rooms, in order to save space, it is advisable to choose cabinets with a mirrored facade instead of standard mirrors. There are non-standard ideas in the Keuco catalog. The Edition 11 collection captivates with restraint and visual lightness. A crystal flip door and side wings with retractable mirror and fluorescent lighting add charm to a high-tech bathroom.

The Keuco Royal Metropol line includes cabinets with a mirrored front surface and spectacular side lighting. This model is suitable for both compact and spacious bathrooms.

Not only small wall-mounted models above the washbasin can be mirrored, but also tall capacious cabinets: the Hatria brand has such options.

If the design of the bathroom provides for the placement of bright accents, you can take a closer look at the Misty Carolina series.

Eye-catching stained-glass inserts can be selected either according to the principle of contrast or to match the wall decoration materials. The catalog has models with blue, pink, red, black, yellow, green decor.

Bathroom cabinets

Floor-mounted models are a traditional solution for furniture sets. They do not require special installation and are usually more capacious than mounted ones.

A little romance will be brought to the atmosphere by the model of the Russian brand Briklaer from the Anna collection. The body of the pencil case is decorated with elegant milling, and the fittings are made of porcelain.

Another model from the classic collections of domestic brands - Misty Charme - is distinguished by the original relief of the facade. Hinged doors are equipped with left or right hinges.

An unusual idea is to dilute the loft wall decoration with antique-styled La Beaute Joanna furniture.

A spectacular solution for classic bathrooms is the Devon & Devon Dancer series. Elegant painted wood cabinets with glass doors sit on the floor on curved legs, recreating an authentic retro vibe.

The lacquered case of the product can be made in one-color or two-color version. The offered shades are red, blue, black, cream, white, plum, gray.

Pendant models

Suspended can be both small cabinets that are attached to the wall above the washbasin, and roomy columns with hinged, sliding, rising doors. The main advantage of mounted models is the free space on the floor under them. This design makes everyday cleaning easier. But for their installation, solid walls are needed that can withstand the weight of both the furniture itself and its filling.

Bold solutions for bathrooms decorated in a modern style can be found in the Labor Legno Matrix series. Open models visually lighten the interior. A multi-color solution would be appropriate in a bathroom, the walls of which will be finished in the same shades.

And the Labor Legno Botton model attracts with an abundance of drawers, convenient for system storage of things.

The texture of the wood in wenge color looks noble and respectable.

Cabinets from budget collections

Beautiful designer furniture doesn't have to be expensive. In the catalogs of Russian companies, it is easy to find which cabinet is suitable for the chosen style. So, the Briclayer Chile pencil case looks very elegant and strict.

It is convenient in that it provides for different types of storage systems: drawers, a compartment with a laundry basket, standard shelves.

Available models are offered not only by Russian, but also by foreign manufacturers:

The Duravit X-Large pencil case will look stylish and modern in a spacious bathroom.

Belbagno Fly-Marino lockers will decorate the Mediterranean interior.

In a minimalist bathroom, snow-white Ravak Chrome models will be appropriate.

And in a bathroom with a less strict design, you can choose two-tone ones - with side walls in onyx or cappuccino colors.

Unusual ideas in the collections of foreign manufacturers

German brands usually focus on practicality and give preference to modern style. Choosing the Villeroy&Boch Subway 2.0 wardrobe is a non-standard shelving solution that is interesting for both loft interiors and bathrooms with a nautical design.

Those who prefer classic forms will be interested in the collections of Italian companies. Paneled wardrobe with a decor in the form of a lily Migliore Bella - stylization under the French antiquity.
