You'll be able to store so much more in your bathroom when everything is organized and easy to access. 01 of 24 Easy-Access Bathroom Storage Laurie Black A mix of drawers and open bathroom storage makes the most of this double vanity. Drawers store small essentials like makeup and toiletries, while the baskets below keep towels in sight and open up the vanity. A collection of jars on the counter keep everyday essentials, such as cotton balls and swabs, within reach. 02 of 24 Single-Vanity Bathroom Storage John Bessler A single vanity boasts plenty of organizing potential with hardworking storage solutions. Instead of cabinet doors, the design features several smaller drawers that offer more opportunities to sort items by category. Wire baskets line the lower shelf to contain extra towels, toilet paper, and other essentials. 03 of 24 Medicine Cabinet Ideas Cameron Sadeghpour Supplement your medicine cabinet with organizers to categorize and contain items. Pretty glass jars hold cotton balls, hair accessories, and other items, while open containers organize brushes and small bottles. Shelf risers boost organization by creating multiple levels of storage on the same shelf. 04 of 24 Recessed Bathroom Shelves Werner Straube The space between studs is perfect for uncovering extra storage. These bathroom shelves tuck into the narrow space behind the door to provide convenient storage for bath products and linens. Labels make it clear what items live in each of the bathroom storage baskets. 05 of 24 Divided Bathroom Drawers Edmund Barr Keep makeup organized with drawer inserts. Designate specific spots for lip gloss, eye shadow, and mascara so you'll never dig for your favorite color again. As an added bonus, each container will catch any spills, preventing hard-to-clean makeup stains inside your drawers. 06 of 24 Floating Storage Shelves Brie Williams Floating shelves expand bathroom storage without taking up additional floor space. Reserve this area for items that will look good on display. Glass jars and attractive organizers will help you store bathroom necessities in style. 07 of 24 Bathroom Storage Ladder Adam Albright A small ladder beside the sink offers a spot to rest hand towels or small storage containers with hooks for hanging. A fresh coat of paint can transform an old ladder into a stylish piece of bathroom storage furniture. Plus, the ladder takes up much less space than traditional bathroom cabinets or organizers, so it's easy to sneak into tight spots. 08 of 24 Built-In Bathroom Storage Jay Wilde Investigate space between the bathroom wall studs, and you might discover hidden storage. Even if the space between rooms is shallow, bathroom wall shelves built between studs can hold tons of supplies and toiletries. If desired, add doors or drawers to conceal the clutter. Glass-front cabinets help the bathroom feel open and airy. 09 of 24 Bathroom Vanity Storage Nicole LaMotte Make every inch count in a small bathroom. Use a narrow shelf under a vanity to store spare bath towels and washcloths. A basket can help conceal items you'd rather not display, such as extra toilet paper or small miscellaneous items. 10 of 24 Bathtub Storage Ideas John Bessler Carve out a spot for loofas, bath salts, and bubble bath in a recessed niche near the bathtub. Reserve the lower shelves for the items you reach for most frequently. Because they're more difficult to access, upper shelves are ideal for displaying decorative accents. 11 of 24 DIY Bathroom Storage Ideas Jason Donnelly Managing all of your bathroom essentials might require some creative DIY work. For this bathroom storage idea, wooden crates painted in fun colors are stacked to form open cubbies. Attach the boxes together using wood glue or nails. Metal bins and glass jars placed in a few of the crates corral small items such as sponges, bath salts, and cotton balls. 12 of 24 Bathroom Cabinet Storage Michael Partenio Store items you use every day, such as lotion, towels, and mouthwash, in a cabinet next to the sink. Extend your cabinetry from the vanity countertop to the ceiling to capture vertical bathroom storage space. This above-counter unit provides shelving for cosmetics and other bathroom necessities, which are contained with labelled trays. The lowest shelf includes a concealed electrical outlet. 13 of 24 Bathroom Closet Storage Ideas Marshall Johnson Put every inch of a bathroom closet to work. Make room for extra towels, toilet rolls, cleaning supplies, and sheets on strategically spaced shelves. Label containers so you know where everything belongs. Hang hooks or a towel bar over the door for additional storage. 14 of 24 Built-In Storage Hutch Edmund Barr Enhance bathroom storage with built-ins. Made to look like a painted hutch, this bathroom storage area includes open cubbies that are right-sized for rolled towels and small bath products. Store cotton swabs and cotton balls in glass canisters, and stash cleaning supplies out of sight in the lower cabinet. 15 of 24 Stylish Bathroom Storage Michael Partenio Combine organization and style with bathroom storage ideas that match the color scheme and finishes used throughout the space. In this neutral bathroom, open shelves hold woven baskets filled with soap, candles, and other toiletries. Metallic containers and trays display nail polish and pretty perfume bottles. 16 of 24 Glass Storage Containers Decorative glass containers turn storage into decor. Display soap, sponges, and bath salts in pretty canisters on the countertop. Include a small scoop or tongs as needed so you can easily lift out what you need. 17 of 24 Bathroom Storage Baskets Erik Johnson Cut clutter in a bathroom cabinet with baskets. Put like items in each one to stay organized, and stash frequently used items in an easy-to-reach spot. Use matching baskets for a cohesive look. 18 of 24 Stackable Storage Trays Kritsada Panichgul Keep bathroom shelves organized with stackable trays that sort items by category. Put all the supplies for doing your nails in one tray, for example, and spa accessories in another. Dividers keep the trays from getting cluttered, and labels let you know what belongs in each tray. 19 of 24 Undersink Storage Solutions Jay Wilde Optimize the space under the bathroom sink with a pullout storage caddy. Use containers to organize hair tools, nail products, and jewelry. Attach battery-operated, stick-on lights to the inside of the cabinet to illuminate the area. 20 of 24 Bathroom Countertop Storage Ideas Edward Gohlich A double vanity gets a storage boost with a countertop cabinet. Keep clutter at bay and store toothbrushes, styling products, and other grooming accessories in drawers and cabinets. A divider in the open lower shelf keeps towels organized. 21 of 24 Double-Duty Bathroom Furniture Michael Partenio Choose bathroom furniture that pulls double-duty as storage. This bench, for example, offers hidden storage and a convenient place to dry off. The built-in drawer holds extra towels and toiletries. 22 of 24 Glass-Front Bathroom Cabinets Michael Garland See-through bathroom storage ideas, such as glass-front cabinets, provide an incentive to keep items organized. Positioned behind a soaking tub, this built-in cabinet keeps towels, soaps, and sponges within reach. Glass doors and shelves make the cabinet feel light and airy while turning bathroom basics into decor. 23 of 24 Bathroom Storage Caddy Jay Wilde Keep everything you need for an at-home manicure organized in a handy storage caddy. Pull it out of the cabinet when you need it, then put it away when you're finished. This bathroom storage idea also works well for cleaning supplies or hair tools and products. 24 of 24 Tilt-Out Bathroom Storage Jay Wilde Look for areas of wasted space that could be used for bathroom storage ideas. To make the most of the small space in front of the sink, transform a false drawer front into a tilt-out storage spot. This narrow area is great for stashing a toothbrush, toothpaste, and deodorant.
