Quick Storage Hacks for Small Bathrooms

So, you’ve moved into a new apartment, and you absolutely love it, except for one thing: the bathroom is roughly the size of a postage stamp. Thankfully, you’re the resilient type; you can brush your teeth in the kitchen sink, style your hair in your bedroom mirror, but still—what can you do with all those toiletries and bathroom accessories? Below are some quick storage hacks that can help you make the best use of your small bathroom.

Up Your Shelving Game

Small bathrooms usually have limited counter space, so even with only the essential items like hand soap and a toothbrush holder, things can get cluttered fast. One way to avoid this from happening is to “build upward” by installing shelves that will let you take advantage of some of the vertical space your bathroom has to offer. You can use these shelves to store everything from hand towels to cotton balls to cologne and more. Also, because shelves are more open than cabinetry, they’ll make your small bathroom feel less claustrophobic.

Over-the-Toilet Storage

Your toilet may take up a few square feet of your small bathroom’s floorplan, but it probably only rises up about two-and-a-half to three feet. This means there’s valuable space above the toilet that can be used for storage. Many retailers and furniture makers have grown hip to this fact and now offer racks or shelving units designed to stand against the wall above the toilet to take advantage of this space.

What’s Behind the Curtain?     

Shower caddies are great for keeping your bathing area organized. And, if your shower or bathtub can accommodate it, a large caddy can also be used for storage. In addition to holding the bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash you’re currently using, your caddy can be used to store backup bottles, letting you buy in bulk and maybe save money.
