A sleek way to avoid clutter

When it comes to space-saving bathroom ideas, shelves are easy to install anywhere in your bathroom. Tall yet narrow shelving units will keep all your toiletries neat and tidy, as though they're on for show. High shelving is a smart yet stylish bathroom storage idea for small spaces, ideal for keeping extra supplies such as cotton swabs and hand towels.

Dress up your shelves

It's common to see baskets as small bathroom storage solutions for items like rolled-up towels, magazines, and loose toiletries. When organizing bathroom storage, keep baskets under the sink, near the toilet, or in the closet to make use of tight spaces. Colorful stackable storage can add personality and color to your bathroom concept. Then there are wire and wicker baskets that never go out of style as bathroom accessories.

Store in your spa essentials

Lotions, scented candles, and sheet masks are all necessary for a treat-yourself day or night. For a spa-style bathroom, store all of these in a roll-away trolley or basket. When you need extra space, just store the portable bathroom furniture into a closet until your next pampering session.
