Bathroom Storage for Small Spaces

If it seems like there’s never enough storage room in your bathroom, you’re not alone. Makeup, towels, backup shampoo bottles, hair styling tools, bath toys and more all need somewhere to go. So what do you do when your vanity drawers are full? Get creative and add more bathroom storage for small spaces.

These storage products make the most of small bathrooms without a full remodel.

Over-Door Storage Rack

Hooks behind the door are handy for towels and robes, but that space can hold more. This over-door storage rack features 10 hooks for towels and robes, as well as two shelves for odds and ends like hairspray or perfume. It’s a major upgrade from stick-on hooks. It’s also a great option for renters since it’s easy to remove and pack at the end of a lease.

Bathroom Door Storage Shelf

Besides behind the door, think above the door. A heavy-duty wall shelf makes use of this prime storage space. Use it for less frequently used or seasonal items organized in baskets, such as bug spray or curling irons. Or designate the shelf for the tallest person in the house.

Over-Toilet Bathroom Storage

Here’s another easy spot for vertical storage space: over the toilet. Wall shelves work, but a special over-toilet cabinet is an easier option. These stand on the floor and slip right over the toilet tank.

Some versions just have shelves, but this over-toilet cabinet features two doors to store items out of sight. For more concealed bathroom storage, use baskets in the open cubbies.

There’s a hair tool organizer and angled organizer to match the stacked tray.

Bathroom Turntable

It can be hard to reach items in the back of a cabinet. By the time you retrieve the shaving cream from behind the cotton swabs, the hairspray has fallen and taken the nail polish with it.

A turntable, or lazy Susan, fixes that problem. With a quick turn, the items in the back move to the front — no reaching necessary. Turntables are also useful in the kitchen for spices.
