Get More Storage for a Tiny Bathroom in Six Steps If you have a small bathroom, chances are it’s frequently cluttered. From trying to cater for storing all your shower and bathroom products, to finding that extra bit of space to dry your laundry on wet afternoons – and don’t forget the hairdryer, shaver and weighing scales! So before the pressure of trying to accommodate so much in such a small space, here are six ways to get the most storage space possible in a small bathroom.

Use corners. Buy or build a corner storage unit that stretches from floor to ceiling.

Build shelves. If there’s not much room on the floor but you’ve got some blank wall space, consider installing a set of shelves there.

Hang pegs. Hanging a row of pegs or hooks on the inside of your bathroom door can give you much needed space to store towels, bathrobes, or even hanging baskets.

Hang some baskets. Those wire baskets you hang from the ceiling in the kitchen aren’t just good for produce. They’re also great for shampoos, soaps, and bath toys.

Get rid of bulky items. Don’t keep every roll of toilet paper or towel you own in your bathroom.

Clean out your bathroom. Throw away empty bottles, expired medicine, expired makeup, and shampoo and soap. Combine bottles that are partially full.

Even if you have a tiny bathroom, it doesn’t have to be cluttered. Follow these tips, and your bathroom is sure to look spacious and well-planned—even if it’s barely bigger than a closet.
