Bathroom Storage Cabinets

Cabinet Styles & Storage Ideas

Streamline your get-ready routine with bathroom storage cabinets that keep your products organized and on hand. Whether your bathroom is bitty or big, your storage cabinets have a major role to play. Eliminate bathroom messes and stresses with cabinets tailored to you and your family's organizational needs. Smart space planning and choosing the right cabinet design will make a big statement in your bathroom. Stock cabinets are the most affordable bath cabinetry option, but custom or semi-custom cabinetry will increase storage options. In this bathroom, custom cabinets nestle under the ceiling's deep angles. An over-the-toilet unit stores overflow items from the vanity and makes use of empty wall space. For a truly one-of-a-kind design, shop thrift stores or recycle furniture from other rooms in your home. A dresser, substantial hutch, or table outfitted with shelves will add storage, style, and efficiency in a bathroom.

Designate Space for Everything

In a family bath, designate a section of cabinets for each family member. Place kids' bathroom supplies in lower cabinets so everything is easy to reach. Slap labels on shelves and bins for speedy searching. If you're short on shelf space, use the backs of cabinet doors to squeeze in extra storage. Affix shallow caddies to door backs to add room for cotton balls, toilet paper, and other bath items you frequently use. 

Embrace Undersink Storage

Don't mistake undersink space for wasted space. Turn a clutter-prone undercabinet area into a storage haven with a few smart updates. Optimize the area under your bathroom sink with a pullout rack for toiletries or a bar to hang hand towels. Fill buckets and open containers with cleaning supplies that can be removed and carried with ease. Corral bathroom necessities on a turntable or in small, sturdy bins. If darkness prevents you from utilizing the undersink area, install a push light in the cabinet so every nook and cranny is visible.

Go for Drawers

Drawers, rather than traditional cabinets with doors, make cabinet storage more accessible. Vary drawer sizes to accommodate different storage needs. Relegate brushes and cosmetics to shallow drawers, and reserve deep drawers for hairstyling tools, such as flat irons and blow dryers. Clear, acrylic dividers are an easy and inexpensive way to ensure bathroom drawers stay organized and at your fingertips. Nonslip drawer liners will keep items in place. 

Think Vertically

Tall cabinets are key in petite baths because they offer the most cubic inches of storage. When bathroom floor space is limited but ceilings are high, stack cabinets to utilize walls and increase storage. A mix of cabinets and open shelving is another way to expand storage capacity. Flank a vanity with slim storage cabinets to save space and maximize storage. If you have space but not a bathroom closet, a tall freestanding cabinet is a great option for storing towels and linens.
