Bathrooms can be tricky for storage. If the bathroom is small you might be lucky enough to fit everything you need under the sink and medicine cabinet. Even those who have spacious bathrooms may need a few easy storage tips.

Regardless of your bathroom's size, it still might be the smallest room in your home which means you'll have to find creative ways to store all the items you need. Keep reading for some easy storage tips for your bathroom.

Towels

Whether you need a place to store decorative hand towels or luxurious bath towels, having only one towel rack in a bathroom will generally not suffice.

If you have a linen closet nearby or a closet inside the bathroom, storing towels inside would be your first choice. For those who want to have more than just one or two towels on display, consider this easy DIY idea and turn a wine rack as a towel holder. With just a few screws you could quickly attach a long wine rack to the wall and have multiple towels ready to be used in a decorative way.

Decorative baskets can also be placed around the bathroom filled with plush towels. Just remember that bathrooms get very humid, so materials that can withstand moisture and heat are highly recommended.

Toiletries

If you need a place to keep your makeup, perfumes and lotions corralled neatly, try utilizing a decorative tray on your countertop. You'll be able to see everything you have without having to dig through drawers.

To keep even more things out of the drawers you could make a magnetic makeup board:
  • Frame and hang a metal sheet near your vanity
  • Attach magnets or magnetic strips to the back of each makeup item
  • Stick to metal sheet!
If you need to use the drawers for storage, be sure to organize them! An easy way to organize bathroom drawers is to use a silverware tray. Find one small enough to fit in your drawer or cut one to size and you can easily keep toothbrushes, toothpaste and other small items easily organized and visible in the drawer.

Shelves, Hooks and Cubes

A bathroom is a great place to utilize different combinations of storage options. A small decorative shelf above a toilet or sink works double duty for items that can be decorative or items that are used every day.

Installing hooks around the room can keep bath robes in reach when exiting the shower and hair dryers off the counter. Waterproof hooks can keep your bath sponges, loofahs and shower brushes in sight, but out of the way.

A small cube storage system normally used outside the bathroom can easily be turned into bathroom storage.Installing hooks to the sides and frosted glass doors will make it even more bathroom-friendly.

For even more space, use the nooks between wall studs to create built-in cabinets and shelving. If you use glass doors and glass shelves, they will disappear and make the space look even bigger.

Tables and Freestanding Furniture

An easy storage idea for a powder room could be to add a small cabinet. In a powder room, space is already limited but adding a small pedestal table could give you the perfect place to store extra hand towels and hand soap.

If you have a pedestal sink, finding the right kind of “under the sink” storage can be tricky because there is nothing under the sink. Many retailers sell storage racks specifically for pedestal sinks - the unit wraps around the small base of the sink. If you don't want to buy a special storage rack, baskets or small cabinets would also work well under a pedestal sink.

A vanity and chair provides a designated area for getting ready and a place to keep your cosmetics, hair and skin care items tidy.

Easy bathroom storage ideas can be hard to come by. However, with some thought and planning you could easily turn a cluttered bathroom into a relaxing spa with just a few clever storage ideas.
