Petite powder room or your only bath, there's no reason to let square footage stand in the way of style. Cue: our best bathroom storage ideas-from floating shelves to a bath accessories bar. See how you can repurpose furnishings commonly found in the living room or study, or find nifty ways to optimize wall space and get the most out of the cabinet below the bathroom sink. All you need are the right pieces to take advantage of the space you do have.
Living in a pre-war apartment comes with equal amounts of charm and challenges. Original moldings; thick, sound-proof walls; and hardwood floors? Charming! Outdated plumbing, a minuscule kitchen, and an even smaller bathroom? Pretty challenging, let me tell you. Although I'm reluctant to do major changes to the bathroom so I can preserve the original tile, I'm anxious to ditch the pedestal sink because of its extreme lack of storage.
Making the most of vertical space with its 30-inch height, this towel rack can hold anything from rolled-up towels to blankets to yoga mats. It only comes out about six inches from the wall, so it holds them all without jutting out too far into your space. There's also a secure shelf on the bottom that keeps towels from falling through any gaps.
It seems like all the bathrooms I've ever had, big or small, have rarely had enough cabinetry. (Or is it just that I have too many toiletries?) Luckily, there are ways to add bathroom storage that don't rely on the built-ins that came with your house or apartment, whether you're dealing with more toiletries than your medicine cabinet can handle or some other storage woe.
My shelves are always overflowing with toiletries, fragrance bottles, jewelry, and more. I began a search for a piece of storage that could organize the mess and also look nice. That's when I found the Asayuee Rotating Makeup Organizer. It has an Art Deco aesthetic, easily spins, and holds a ton of stuff. I love it so much that I've bought it in multiples. Best of all, it's on sale at Amazon right now, so the price is down from $26.98 to $16.98.
Whether you're looking for a waterproof option that can function sans liner, or a breezy fabric that will make the utilitarian room feel more aesthetically pleasing, a shower curtain's impact can't be understated. After all, it's the largest swath of color or pattern you'll likely have in the room. The textile's endless options can easily flit between decor styles, like the eclectic prints of Nickey Kehoe or the minimalist textures of Quince's linen option.
