Even the smallest of bathrooms can include storage for those less-than pretty items we like to hide away. In this article we explore 12 Bathroom Storage Ideas for Small Spaces

There is nothing that can make a small space seem even smaller, than unnecessary clutter. Toiletries, cotton buds, bobby pins, shaving products, can make your bathroom feel messier than it needs to and therefore, more compact.

So, whether you live in a busy family home, two new love birds who have just bought their first home, or flat share with friends, we have plenty of bathroom storage ideas to help you achieve a seamless, functional space.

1. TRY A WOODEN FINISH BATHROOM VANITY UNIT

Wooden vanity units are a great option for bathrooms on the smaller scale. The natural textures add warmth, depth and can soften the look of the room. That’s why the Milano Arch is a beautiful option for an en-suite or cloakroom.

The unit comes with a beautifully crafted ceramic basin and a single tap hole, so if you love a mono basin tap, this may be the basin vanity for you.

Crafted from strong moisture resistance engineered wood, for a beautiful oak effect, without having to actually pay the price of real oak. Not only is this vanity unit superbly priced, it also has surprisingly spacious storage inside.

When you open the doors of the Arch, you are greeted with two shelves, ideal for popping a spare towel, spare soap and the odd household cleaner.

One of the best features of the Milano Arch is how compact it is. Even if you have the most compact space, you’ll be sure to fit this modern, sleek storage unit, leaving space for a toilet.

Size starts from:  Width 450mm x Depth 440mm x Height 835mm

2. MODERN, SPACIOUS STORAGE OPTIONS

For bathrooms on the more modern side, the Atticus is great choice. Designed to be family friendly, you have plenty of ample storage with this white gloss finish vanity.

One of the best things about using a bar cart for storage is that you can purchase them in almost any style. Minimalistic, glamorous, authentic looking carts, whatever floats your boat.

It’s storage on wheels, if you’re in the bath or shower you wheel and make it accessible to you whilst you wash!

With a bar cart there is no need for shower caddies, make sure you have a shower curtain to stop the water from going everywhere when reaching for the shampoo on the bar cart!
