Small Bath, Big Storage
It can be a challenge to make a 7' x 8' bathroom feel open and inviting. But choosing a clean design that incorporates savvy storage solutions will get the job done.
-

Decluttered Wonder
This bathroom closet was a mishmash of toiletries, hair accessories, makeup, and jewelry. Adding bins, baskets, and trays transforms it into the bathroom’s command center.
-

Use Unexpected Spaces
Maximize a small space by using every available surface. A door organizer (#141988) -- originally intended as a spice rack for the kitchen -- is perfect for smaller toiletries in bottles and jars and makes use of otherwise wasted space.
-

Keep Cleaning Supplies High
Place cleaning supplies on the top shelf where they are easily accessible but out of reach for children and animals. Storing cleaning supplies in plastic bins (#41941) protects other items in the closet from potential spills.
-

Create Easy Access
Keep frequently used items within reach in the middle of the closet. Hooks on the sides of the shelf hold jewelry and accessories. Interlocking trays (#105922) and a woven basket (#337503) provide additional storage.
-

Add a Pullout Drawer
A pullout drawer (#75050) makes it easy to reach everything on the shelf. This small wood drawer was originally intended for the kitchen, but installing it in the bathroom is both clever and cost-effective. Add jars or bins to hold small items within the drawer.
-

Toss Items in a Hamper
Keep dirty towels and clothes off the floor with a pullout hamper on the lower shelf. Designed for the kitchen, this double wastebasket (#278250) makes a perfect laundry hamper. The unit pulls out from the cabinet so it's easy to load and unload.
-

Raise the Bar
A bathroom can never have too much towel storage. A towel rod (#163088) attached to the wall behind the door offers more hanging space.
-

Within Reach
Inside the shower, built-in niches add storage and style. The two niches were carved out between the wall studs and dressed up with glass mosaic tiles (#291236). The sills are the perfect depth for housing bottles and soaps.
-

Put Storage on Display
Design elements near the vanity offer lots of storage solutions. A mirrored medicine cabinet, built-in niches, and a do-it-yourself towel rack combine to make the bathroom’s vanity area as hardworking as possible.
-

Reflect with a Medicine Cabinet
Mirrors are great in small spaces because they reflect light, which makes any room appear larger. The recessed medicine cabinet’s (#296928) three mirrored surfaces expand the feel of the bathroom whether open or closed.
-

Plug In
Built-in niches near the vanity offer handy storage space. Build the niches between the wall studs and add a sill to accommodate bathroom essentials. A convenient electrical outlet (#245843) is tucked into the lower niche.
-

Hang it Up
A towel rack near the bathroom door keeps clutter off the floor. You can make this rack for just $14 by having a piece of 1"x3"x2' poplar board cut to size at Lowe’s. Just spray-paint it, screw in hooks (#308947), and attach it to the wall.
-

Divide and Conquer
A vanity (#319961) is ideal for adding storage to a bathroom. While deep drawers are great, they can easily become cluttered. Add trays (#110878) to separate items and keep drawers organized. These trays keep jewelry from becoming a tangled mess.
-

Use Baskets
This vanity includes a lower shelf, which is an ideal place to store towels and other bathroom essentials. Use baskets (#337503) in these areas to stash items and keep the room tidy.
