Repurposed Doorway
When @annieswanhome remodeled her bathroom, she combined two spaces, leaving her with an unneeded doorway. Instead of covering the door opening with drywall, she solved two problems by converting the space into storage!
Recessing glass shelves within the old doorway preserved precious floor space. She surrounded the area with an ornate silver frame for a custom, glamorous finishing touch.

Cubby Shelf
When cabinet storage is limited or nonexistent, utilize your blank wall space instead. That’s what @theorderlylifestyle did with this cute cubby shelf in her small bathroom. (Here’s a similar shelf.)
The cubbies look great and keep daily essentials separated, well-organized and easily accessible. If you have the wall space, hang two or three of these shelves for even more storage potential.

Over-Toilet Cabinet
Over-the-toilet cabinets are a great solution when bathroom storage is lacking, but many aren’t sturdy and look cheap and cluttered. That’s why we love this solid wood, over-the-toilet cabinet with doors.
You can hide messy bathroom essentials inside the cabinet, and keep more decorative items on the open shelf. It’s sturdy, durable and enhances your bathroom decor.

Pedestal Sink Cabinet
Pedestal sinks fit well in small bathrooms but generally lack storage. Steal this idea from @ferrarirari and go with a pedestal sink cabinet.
Affordable and easy to install, it’s shaped to fit around the base of your sink. Now you can add much-needed storage to your tiny bathroom without replacing your sink — a smart solution for renters.

Medicine Cabinet
In a tiny bathroom, everything you install must be multi-functional. So instead of a simple wall mirror, choose a medicine cabinet with lots of storage. This mid-century style medicine cabinet features exposed shelves next to the mirror as well as hidden storage behind it.

Slim Cabinet
A slim storage cabinet can tuck into an unused corner or nook, transforming skimpy square footage into precious storage space. The four roomy drawers hold essentials like toiletries, cleaning supplies and toilet paper. Plus, use the top for displaying jewelry or an acrylic makeup organizer.

Stack Towels Down Below

Real reviews of our customers
Sergey
Wardrobe
“My apartment and furniture from the mass market are incompatible things, because the layout is not the most standard. You have to order everything yourself. I took a wardrobe from the guys and was incredibly pleased: all the measurements were carried out for free, the sketches were made without deviating from my wishes. The work went without delay, the furniture is made of quality materials.
Particularly pleased with the fittings. I have a small child and it is important that all furniture close without noise. The cabinet doors just fly without a single rustle. Thank you!"
Ludmila
Workplace
“I have a lot of paperwork and desk books. I wanted a comfortable workplace where everything can be fine-tuned to my needs, because a properly organized and thoughtful office is the key to effective and successful work. Made perhaps one of my best investments by ordering office furniture from ProstoCloset. Everyone listened very attentively, offered several interesting projects, and according to the schedule they brought and assembled everything in one day. Incredibly happy and scribbling this review at the new table”
Tamara
Cabinets for the kitchen
“I'm always afraid to choose something at random, so I was glad when I was able to make the necessary cabinets for the kitchen with my own hands through the designer. The old ones were demolished, and I was mentally unprepared to completely change the kitchen.
When I modeled the project myself, I decided to place an order. The master made all the necessary measurements, the cabinets were ready in a week. Like twin brothers of old lockers, only new ones. Now pleasing to the eye. I'm thinking of ordering the whole kitchen here.”
Aleksandr
Bathroom cabinets
“I couldn't find any furniture for the bathroom that would fit and match my needs. I have 8 children: reliability and safety are paramount. It was necessary to make it so that the elders could open all the necessary doors, and the younger ones could not get to the shelves with household chemicals. Phoned the manager, agreed to meet with the master. We discussed possible solutions, they showed me several ready-made sketches. They looked interesting, but were not for me. Then the guys from the simple closet made a new project, which we brought to life.”
Rinat
Complete decoration of the apartment
“I bought a new house. I had neither the time nor the desire to choose new furniture and look at its compatibility.
I turned to a simple closet, they prepared a furniture design for the whole apartment for me, showed me the functionality in all details. Without much thought, I ordered and a month later I drove into a beautiful furnished apartment, where it is comfortable and cozy. The designer of the company is a professional who thought through every little thing. Made by people for people. I highly recommend and will use their services in the future.”
Denis
Storage system for pantry
“The pantry has been an issue for a long time. It is very small for me, due to the lack of organization of space, it quickly turned into some kind of dump, which had to be sorted out every two weeks, because the home ones scattered everything as they had to. I ordered a storage system, and now everything is on its shelves, and gadgets for brewing beer and moonshine now do not take up space in the corridor. It became spacious and cool. Thank you”

Small bathroom in the house. How best to arrange it?
Dmitry Krylov
Expert in private houses. Experience of country living: 30 years.
Many people build and buy dachas only for seasonal (summer) recreation. Of course, in this case, it makes no sense to build a huge bathroom, a small bathroom is enough to fit plumbing, a shower and everything you need.
In this article, we will offer designers' recommendations on how best to design a small bathroom, what color and light to choose for it, how to furnish it with furniture, what plumbing is better to choose and much more.
Small bathroom furniture. Which is better to choose?
Furniture for a small bathroom should be the same as the room itself - compact.
In a small space, it is best to use hanging cabinets, for example, above a sink or washing machine, as well as narrow shelves.
Hanging cabinets are the best furniture for a small bathroom. Furniture, as well as bathrooms (including the toilet, washbasin) should be placed as close to the walls as possible in order to maximize the available space.
When choosing furniture for a small bathroom, functionality is of the utmost importance. For example, a linen closet will fit in the gap between the washing machine and the wall. These cabinets are usually tall but narrow so they won't take up too much valuable space.
Which cabinet should I buy for a small bathroom?
Lockers in a small bathroom will create an impression of order and cleanliness and visually increase the space of the room. On the contrary, numerous shelves, on which all cosmetics and trifles will be visible, carry a mess, which makes the bathroom seem much smaller. Bathroom furniture needs to be chosen wisely - cabinets, unlike shelves, are a long-term purchase, and besides, they will not violate the design of the bathroom.
Cabinet with doors is perfect for installation under the washbasin. An interesting solution is the furniture on the plinth, which barely covers the floor under the cabinet and significantly expands the bathroom.
Furniture for a small bathroom can also be ordered to order and the desired size. Thanks to this solution, we can save valuable space as much as possible. Custom-made cabinets and bedside tables are optimally suited for bathrooms with a large number of niches and recesses.
Shelves and niches for bathrooms
All unnecessary items that do not fit or should not be stored in cabinets can be placed in various shelves, compartments and niches specially provided for this. This is a convenient solution, since we will always know where this or that shampoo, gel, hair brushes or other cosmetics are located. By equipping our bathroom with many niches and compartments, we will get rid of the mess.
Hanging cabinets, shelves above the bathroom
In small bathrooms, you need to use every available space and free space.
To do this, it is recommended to install hanging shelves or drawers. They can be hung, for example, over the bathroom, which again saves space and increases the comfort of the room. Small, narrow household items, such as combs or cleaning brushes, can be hung from overhead ladders.
Manufacturers of furniture especially for small bathrooms create corner washbasins, small cabinets of non-standard sizes and other interior items. If you are interested in buying bathroom furniture, we recommend that you pay attention to brands: Sanitec, Elita, Cersanit or Antado.
Use more mirrors and metal accessories
A small bathroom will feel more spacious if you hang two mirrors in it that will reflect each other or the bathroom window. Designers have long noticed that mirrors that reflect light optically enlarge a room.
Small bathrooms are also great with metallic finishes and accessories, or if you're willing to take the risk, consider mirror tiles. Metallic materials, such as mirrors, diffuse and reflect light, making a room appear larger.
Material for bathroom furniture
When decorating a bathroom, we often ask ourselves what material will make furniture look best.
For small bathrooms, it is recommended to pay attention to reflective materials, such as the already mentioned metal furniture. It is also a good idea to buy shiny or lacquered furniture, but already made of their plastic. If you are a supporter of more noble materials, pay attention to the idea of buying glass furniture.
Good lighting in a small bathroom
Evenly spaced lights will look good in a small bathroom. Install a few sconces, make illuminated cabinets and mirrors.
Higher wattage bulbs are recommended for smaller rooms. Due to the large amount of light scattered throughout the room, the lighting in a small bathroom will not only be brighter, but also cleaner.
Which tile to buy for a small bathroom?
Tiles with large patterns should be avoided in small bathrooms. If you don't want to put identical tiles, place them in a card shape - diamonds.
