Vanity units

The space under the sink is often overlooked. Yet vanity units offer plenty of storage space in the bathroom. They are available as wall-mounted or freestanding units, with countertop sinks, built-in sinks, or simply placed beneath a wall-mounted sink. Custom adaptations to existing plumbing connections are also possible. As a result, vanity units enhance the room’s appearance by concealing the connections.

Back sides of doors

The back of the door is often a great option for creating storage space, especially in small bathrooms. Whether attached with magnetic strips or clipped to the top of the door, towel racks are perfect for this spot and don’t have to be relegated to a corner that could be used for something else.

Corner shelves

Speaking of corners: these are often overlooked as well. Yet bathrooms are often used to store small or foldable items that can easily be tucked away in these space-saving wonders.

Shower baskets

Shower baskets are a great storage solution even for small bathrooms, and they’re easy to set up. They can be hung directly on the shower faucets and provide space for soap, shampoo, and other shower essentials.
