From fluffy towels and bathrobes to hairdryers and toiletries, people store various items in home bathrooms for easy access. Leaving belongings on counters could make the space feel cluttered and unsanitary, which is why adding more storage should be a top priority during your bathroom remodeling project. A remodeling contractor can offer suggestions to provide a permanent home for possessions without taking up more space in the room. In the meantime, here are a few exciting ideas to keep in mind.

How to Maximize Space in Your Bathroom Remodel

1. Vertical Storage Fixtures

If you’re running out of room along the bathroom perimeter, take advantage of the open space closer to the ceiling. A contractor can install vertical storage towers, offering nooks, drawers, or cubbyholes to display and store belongings. Bookending the vanity with the fixtures will add an eye-catching focal point to the room and a sense of balance. Because the towers direct the eye upward, they can also give the illusion of a higher ceiling. 

2. Floating Cabinetry Under Vanities

If you want to conceal storage compartments, a bathroom remodeling specialist will place units out of the way under vanity counters. These are fixtures with deep drawers that can be fastened directly to the wall, giving the appearance that the entire installation is floating. You can use the space under the floating cabinetry to tuck away portable storage bins or a bench to sit on while primping.   

3. Exposed Shelving 

To help open the space and create an airy atmosphere, install open shelves on one, or several, walls in the bathroom. Similar to floating cabinetry, the shelves are installed directly on the flat surface. Because the fixtures don’t have doors, the room will appear more expansive. A contractor could recommend colors and materials to help the subtle installations stand out.
