Toiletries, towels and hair appliances can quickly turn a small bathroom into an even tighter space. The good news is with a few creative touches, even the tiniest bathrooms can feel spacious. Here are several helpful design tips used by bathroom remodeling gurus for adding storage areas.

4 Ways for Using Storage in Small Bathrooms

1. Use Hooks

Instead of the standard bars, consider using hooks to hang towels and washcloths. You can hang them up high enough to reach and use the extra space for other less cumbersome items. The hanging hooks are also great for storing back scrub brushes, curling irons, and hair dryers.

2. Install Floating Shelves

House all your larger bathroom items on floating shelves. Vertical storage areas are ideal for housing clean towels, washcloths and hand towels. A blank wall is a perfect canvas to install the shelves for a quick bathroom remodeling project. 

3. Bring in Storage Bins

From plastic bins with lids to glass jars, storage bins run the gamut. Use the containers and trays to hold combs and brushes or lotions, facial cleansers, and makeup. Straw baskets are durable enough to store towels without taking up much space.

4. Add Ledge Shelves

If space between the mirror and sink is tight, have a ledge shelf installed. It’s a favorite bathroom remodeling technique for storing smaller items such as makeup palettes, toothpaste, and toothbrushes. The shelf doesn’t take up much room but it still big enough to store items that would make a sink area feel cluttered.
