Creative Storage Solutions for Your Bathroom

Let’s play a quick game of Family Feud. Name a room in your home you wish had more storage. Did you say living room? Dining room? Den? Probably not. You most likely said either kitchen or bathroom. And while kitchens are designed to provide ample opportunities for storage, bathrooms can be a little more challenging. Okay, you caught us. They can be a lot more challenging. Despite being one of the most important spaces in the house, bathrooms are often small and cluttered. Even master baths have far fewer square feet than a modest-sized kitchens. With so many toiletries, towels, and cleaning supplies to store, finding storage solutions can seem like a problem that can only be solved with magic portals leading to other dimensions. The bad news is that teleporters won’t be on the market in the foreseeable future. The good news is that with a little creativity, it’s possible to create a functional and stylish bathroom that’s free from clutter.

Options That Drive You Up the Wall

The first step to creating a clutter-free bathroom is to assess the space available. For most bathrooms, that’s not much, so it’s important to make the most of every inch. Start by clearing out any unnecessary items and organizing what is left into categories. This will give you a better idea of the storage solutions you need and how much space will be required.

One of the most effective storage strategies for a small bathroom is to use the walls. Wall-mounted shelves, baskets, and hooks are a great way to keep your items organized and off the floor. You could, for example, install a series of staggered box shelves above the toilet to hold towels, toilet paper, and other essentials. This will not only save space but also make it easier to access everything you need.

Another great way to use the walls is to install a pegboard. A pegboard is a perforated board that can be used to store small items such as makeup, toothbrushes, and other toiletries. By using hooks and shelves, you can create a customized storage system that is both practical and visually appealing.

Door Possibilities Than Ever Before

If you have limited wall space, you can also consider using the back of the bathroom door. Yes, most people already do this, but it can extend beyond a single hook supporting three robes draped over each other in a mound of multicolor terrycloth. Over-the-door organizers are a great way to better organize this space. They come in a variety of sizes and can be used to store everything from hand towels to air fresheners.

Multitasking Makeovers

Another creative storage solution for a small bathroom is to use furniture that serves multiple purposes. How about a decorative ottoman with storage space under the seat? Or a bar cart that can be wheeled to any open corner? The maneuverability of a cart makes location adjustments a breeze. And of course, there’s the old favorite of using a small ladder to double as a tiered storage shelf.

Your Order Is Up – To You!

Finally, it’s important to remember that the key to creating a well-ordered bathroom is to not only be practical and logistical but also creative. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box (pun most certainly intended) and come up with unique storage solutions that work for your space. From floating shelves to vintage fruit crates (okay, we’re back in the box, but in a good way!) the possibilities are limited only by your imagination. Experiment. Rearrange. Swing for the fences. What have you got to lose except your clutter?
