Vanity units

The space under the sink is often neglected. However, vanity units offer plenty of storage space in the bathroom. They are available in wall-mounted or floor-standing versions, with countertop sinks, built-in sinks, or simply placed under a wall-mounted sink. Individual adjustments to existing plumbing connections are also possible. Vanity units therefore enhance the appearance of the room by concealing the connections.

Mirror cabinets

A bathroom mirror with storage space above the sink is the perfect solution for small bathrooms. Mirror cabinets are ideal for storing toiletries. With additional lighting, they also help to provide storage space in the bathroom and an aesthetic upgrade.

Door backs

The back of the door is often a good place to create storage space, especially in small bathrooms. Whether attached with magnetic strips or clamped to the top of the door, towel racks are perfect for this location and do not have to be relegated to a corner that could be used for other purposes.

Corner shelves

Speaking of corners: these are often overlooked too. Yet bathrooms in particular are often used to store small or foldable items that can easily be accommodated in these space-saving wonders.

Towel ladders

Vertical towel racks or towel ladders are an excellent solution for storing towels in a space-saving manner in small rooms. This storage space in the bathroom can also be used for aesthetic purposes. Carefully selected and draped towels are perfect for adding accents that complement the colors in the bathroom.

Shower baskets

Shower baskets are also storage ideas for small bathrooms that are easy to implement. They can be hung directly on the shower faucet and offer space for soap, shampoo, and other shower accessories.

For additional storage space in the bathroom, seating should also serve as storage. For example, choose laundry baskets that are sturdy enough to also be used as seating. This way, aesthetics and comfort can be combined with practicality.

Wall niches

Wall niches are a little more complicated to install, but they are definitely a practical and visual highlight. They are the perfect place to store towels and toiletries, as well as decorative plants in the bathroom.
