Because of their smaller size, bathrooms can be a great place to try out daring decor trends like bold tile or colorful wallpaper. At the same time, because washrooms are not typically very large (at least not in relation to the other rooms in your home), they can accumulate clutter quickly, even if you've made the most of smart bathroom organization ideas. (All the organization hacks in the world can't help if you don't have enough storage, after all. )
Fortunately for bathrooms that are bursting at the seams, these bathroom storage ideas will help you fit all those must-have bathroom toiletries, but still have room for details like plants, candles, or art.

Use Deep Drawers for Haircare

If you're lucky enough to have deep drawers in the bathroom, use them wisely.

1
Go Tall With a Towel Rack
If you're in need of an alternative to a linen closet, opt for a tall and skinny towel rack that saves space and offers easy access to fresh towels.
The one in this bathroom designed by Hecker Guthrie makes it feel like a five-star spa.
2
Use the Window Sill
Window sills are often ideal spots for plants and decorative items in a kitchen or bedroom, and the bathroom is no exception. The one in this home by Alice Lane Interior Design is extra pretty thanks to the stained glass and a Trudon candle. You can even use a window sill to host soaps and a toothbrush holder should you want to keep the counter totally clear.
Nicole Hill Gerulat3
Try a Chair
The easiest way to add a bit of storage near a freestanding tub or in the corner of your bathroom is with a chair or stool, as designer Cecilia Casagrande did in this Massachusetts home. Not only can it host extra towels and toiletries that you use often, but it also offers you a spot to rest.

Add a Small Table
Or if you don't need a place to sit, make use of a small drink table instead.
In this bathroom designed by Toledo Geller, a brass table hosts a decorative plant—but it also makes for the perfect spot to place room spray and other bathroom essentials.
5
Opt for Ledge Shelving
For a very simple storage solution, add a ledge shelf like the one in this bathroom by Avery Cox Design. It's ideal for holding a scrub brush near a freestanding tub or for displaying a few books to read during a bubble bath.
Lindsay Brown6
Install a Wall Niche
For a more permanent solution, install a wall niche. In this bathroom designed by Clara Jung, the faucet for the freestanding tub is built into a wooden wall niche. Extra room on either side creates space for anything from bath soaks to a beverage.

7
Use an Etagere
A great way to introduce a ton of storage without drilling into your walls for custom cabinetry is by sliding in an etagere, as designer Robin Henry did in this show-stopping bathroom.
This one is small and strategically placed right by the bathtub, but if you need more space, just opt for a taller version with more shelving.
8
Install a Shower Cubby
Integrated storage will keep your shower much more organized and clean, and another perk of being clutter-free is a sleek aesthetic. Add some colorful zellige tiles if you're digging this shower designed by Romanek Design Studio.
Romanek Design Studio9
Hang a Fabric Skirt
Another clever hack for a space without any built-in storage: Add a pleated fabric skirt around the sink. It introduces a softer dimension, color, pattern, and, most importantly, it'll hide eyesores, like plastic storage containers, without costing a ton.

Choose Items With Pretty Packaging
AP Design House optimized this bathroom by installing a narrow shelf over the sink for storing small essentials like skincare products, cotton swabs, and more.
But choose items with pretty packaging so there's no need to hide them out of sight.

Keep Tiny Items on Trays
Not only do trays add style, but they can also help you stay organized and neat. Use it to keep your makeup, perfume, and skincare products in one place and easy to access. In this bathroom by Commune Design, the gold trays accentuate the framed mirrors, sconces, and hardware.
Commune Design12
Use Your Toilet
This bold and playful bathroom designed by Robin Henry proves there's nothing wrong with using your toilet as an extra surface for propping up bathroom accessories. How to keep it looking clutter-free: Forget the open shelving to allow vibrantly hued walls to stay clear and in the spotlight.

Install Wall Hooks
Clear up floor space and eliminate the need for a closet or shelving system by installing a few hooks for towels and linens.
Then use a window sill to display a small piece of artwork and vase for a fun decorative moment, as designer Jae Joo did in this classic Boston brownstone bathroom.
14
Introduce a Bar Stool
When you don't have enough storage space in your bathroom as is and don't foresee a remodel, it's time to get creative. Take note of this bold powder room designed by Chango & Co and slide in a stool. It adds surface room for extra items and helps obscure essentials, like toilet paper.
Chango & Co15
Distract the Eye
Brass features add "a hint of luxury and a nod to older styles," designer Shari Francis says of this bathroom. To get the look without adding big-ticket items like a faucet or mirror, incorporate brass accessories like a soap dispenser, tissue box, toothbrush holder, or even a set of hardware for hanging towels and robes. Then, keep toilet paper conveniently tucked under the sink in a basket.

Customize a Built-In Bench
Designed by Cameron Rupert Interiors, this kids' bathroom is bursting with energy. The vibrant colors and prints put a fun, modern twist on traditional style. For a super sneaky trick in a bathroom with a nice window nook, work with a contractor to build in a hidden storage bench and disguise it with custom upholstery.
Cameron Rupert Design17
Use a Bath Caddy
Use a caddy to stylishly store some of your bath products, especially if your shower space doesn't have any built-in cubbies or shelves. Even a simple metal version can look elevated in the right environment, as exemplified in this bathroom by Nicole Hollis Studio.
Nicole Hollis Studio18
Bring in Baskets
Toilet paper may never be pretty, but it does look a little better when stored in a pretty basket.
In this bathroom designed by Regan Baker Design, it's right next to the toilet for easy access and convenience without looking sloppy or disorganized.

Repurpose Old Furniture
If you don't want to install built-in shelves for whatever reason—renovation costs, rental limitations, or personal style—consider repurposing unconventional furniture, for example, an armoire. Traditional on its own but unexpected and quirky in a bathroom context, it provides extra storage while also making a style statement. Especially when paired with Fornasetti's cloud-print wallpaper and a modern aubergine stool, as done in this main bathroom decorated by Arent & Pyke.
Anson Smart20
Splurge On Built-In Cabients
In this bathroom designed by 2LG Studio, everything is fun, stylish, and thoughtfully curated while also delivering functionality.
The spacious built-in storage notches keep the useable areas in the bathroom clean, allowing the eye to focus on the fun colors, attention to shape, and symmetry rather than clutter.
10 productive ideas, over 40 examples - INMYROOM
The bathroom is one of the smallest rooms in the house, and it should accommodate towels, hygiene products, household chemicals and various little things. We will tell you how to easily organize storage places here
The bathroom is one of the smallest rooms in the house, and towels, hygiene products, household chemicals and many different little things should be placed in it. Today we will tell you how to easily organize the storage of all the necessary items in the bathroom.
1. Make use of the space under the sink
Whether you use the sink on a pedestal, a countertop or in combination with a cabinet, try to adapt every centimeter of space to your needs. Build in additional shelves, use baskets and hanging elements so as not to lose useful storage space.
2. Organize storage in lockers
Think of a smart system of shelves, baskets and containers to organize storage in the most efficient way. A lot of little things can create real chaos, so divide things into groups: shower supplies in one container, household chemicals in another, towels on your shelf.
Don't forget about the surface of the doors: you can place a hanger for a hair dryer or mini shelves for small things on them.
3. Use the space under the bath
Today, bath screens have become much more functional and allow you to use the space around the bath. Custom storage screens can be made to suit your space requirements.
4. Add functionality to the side of the bathtub
The bath does not always occupy the entire length of the room, leaving a small gap between itself and the wall surface. This space can be used for shallow shelving or a shelving system.
And even if the length of the bath is the same as the length of the room itself, one of the walls above it can be easily adapted for shower accessories or towels.
5. Integrate narrow pull-out shelves
Take a trick usually used for narrow spaces in the kitchen and add pull-out shelves to awkward corners of the bathroom. They will not only allow you to place a lot of little things, but also will not clutter up the space.
6. Fill in corners with open shelves
Any surface or awkward corner can be filled with neat open shelves. They must be the same in thickness, color and texture in order to look harmonious. To create a feeling of spaciousness, it is worth using glass shelves.
7. Add hanging baskets and elements
Walls can be used not only for open shelves, but also for hanging elements. Small baskets and containers will allow you to place a hair dryer, combs and cosmetics, and more spacious ones - towels and large items.
8. Use the space above the door
In a small space, it's important to make the most of every centimeter. A small narrow shelf above the door will allow you to place extra towels, supplies of hygiene products and any other items that are not needed so often.
9. Use the surface of the door
The door itself can also be used for storage: attach a hanger for towels or bathrobes, or place a hanger with pockets for small items.
10. Add racks and floor hangers
Use not only the walls, but also the floor: add a floor hanger with several shelves or a narrow rack if the bathroom area allows it.

Sometimes a cabinet above the sink and open shelves above the bathtub for storage are enough. Much depends on how many tenants are in the apartment, what cosmetics and accessories they need, whether there is a separate place where laundry and cleaning products are stored.
If there is no dressing table in the bedroom, the number of things also increases. In addition, it is much more convenient to change towels when they are stored in the bathroom, and not in the room. A large area allows you to put wide cabinets, but there are also several options for a small bathroom.
adv.rbc.ru
The bathroom has a lot of free space on the walls that can be made functional. A mirror is usually hung over the sink, so it makes sense to choose a cabinet in which it is located on the facade. If the corners and walls of the room are not occupied by tall furniture, buy suitable hanging shelves. They can be arranged in several horizontal rows up to the ceiling. Both wooden shelves on a triangular profile and metal ready-made multi-tiered options are suitable.
Photo: pinterest.ru
The place under the sink is rarely used, but you can store buckets, brushes, cleaning products or washing powder there. Manufacturers offer built-in furniture, made taking into account the parameters of the sink and pipe.
As a rule, it is bought during repairs, along with a bathtub and a sink. But if the latter is without a cabinet, then you can make it to order or buy a cabinet that is suitable in width and depth, and then cut out the “lid” for the sink and pipe. Pull-out shelves will be an excellent option for filling, so that you don’t have to climb into the locker with your head in search of the right product.

It is customary to cover modern bathtubs with curtains. Some owners choose to tile this space to match the color of the floor and walls. But if the bathroom is small, consider under-bath storage. The space is not suitable for things that are afraid of moisture - washing powder in a cardboard box or fresh towels - but it is used for household products. You can order special drawers that hermetically close the contents, but this will come out more expensive.
Photo: pinterest.ru
One of the common design moves is to expand the functionality of items that look like decor. For example, large wicker baskets will suit most bathroom styles while still being large enough to hold gels, shampoos, creams, and other cosmetics. You can store cleaning products in one, put laundry in the other. Baskets will fit into the space under the sink if it is not occupied by shelves, but will also look interesting against the wall.
Photo: pinterest.ru
The advantage of this furniture is that it can be as narrow as possible, which means it will fit in a small room. In addition, it is convenient to move the table away to wash the floors under it, and turn it to get a thing from a far corner. The products that you use daily can be placed on a table, on shelves or in beautiful baskets (perfume, brushes and toilet paper). Much depends on whether water from the sink and bath gets on the shelves.
Photo: pinterest.ru
It is customary to hang hooks on the front door, but the space near the ceiling often remains unused. A multi-level shelf with 1-3 divisions is suitable, depending on the height of the ceiling.
It is worth storing things that are rarely needed, such as clean towels and bathrobes. Make sure that you can comfortably take the contents from the shelf and that nothing falls when you open the door. Many will have to use a stool to reach the top.
Photo: pinterest.ru
Wall hooks are an obvious solution for storing towels, organizers with cosmetics and household appliances. But they can also be hung inside cabinets. So little things will not take up space on the shelf, and most accessories will always be at hand. In addition to hooks, glued boxes or plastic organizers for cosmetics are suitable, as well as hanging shelves that are attached to the door without glue and screws.
Photo: aliexpress.ru
Designers advise not to clutter up the space at eye level, otherwise the room will seem even more compact. Therefore, shelves tapering upwards would be an ideal option. If you did not find a similar rack in a furniture store, you can use an open stepladder.
Small baskets for laundry or cleaning products can be placed on the lower shelves, hair dryers and hair straighteners, necessary jars and tubes, towels and decorative items on the upper shelves.
Photo: pinterest.ru
This hack is popular in the kitchen, but the bathroom also uses a lot of metal objects. For example, you can hang tools from a manicure set on a magnet so that you don’t have to look for them every time in a cosmetic bag on the shelves. Hairpins, hairpins and stealth are attached to the panel so that they are not lost in deep cabinets and hanging pockets.

If you have small children, rubber toys are left in the bathroom. They can not be put away in cabinets until completely dry and it is inconvenient to put them in a row along the edge of a bathtub or sink. To keep toys from getting moldy for as long as possible, they can be placed on a dryer over the bathtub or collected in a hanging net with suction cups.
