A small bathroom can become very cluttered if adequate storage is an afterthought or, worse, absent. When you’re renovating your condo bathroom, it’s important to have plenty of storage so you can store all of your bathroom essentials and access them easily. It’s possible to have small bathroom storage and still be able to utilize the space well.

Take Advantage of Vertical Space

One of the best small condo bathroom storage ideas is to use your walls. During your bathroom renovation, install shelving units and tall cabinet units on your walls to make the best of otherwise wasted space. They take up very little floor space and can accommodate a lot of items.

Not only will a narrow bathroom cabinet give you plenty of storage, but it can make a small bathroom appear larger and taller than it actually is. A custom-built closet, cabinet, or shelf will fit perfectly if you have an oddly shaped bathroom. Consider over-toilet storage as another extension of your vertical space.

Shelving is Key

Another great way to use available space is to hang small shelves. These allow you to get smaller items off your countertop, the tub, and keep them organized. Towel storage is a key pain point in small bathrooms and floating shelves are often the answer.

You can also add a basket, bowl, or decorative container to put in smaller personal items to keep them close yet out of sight. Mix and match with your existing colour scheme or start fresh with a bathroom renovation.

Use Every Inch of Space

Especially for a dated space, condo bathroom renovations are wise projects due to their relatively high ROI. When considering tiny bathroom storage ideas, try to use all the available space in your bathroom. Be sure to use a vanity with ample storage and consider cabinets and over-toilet cabinet options.

Make something useful in even the tiniest area. For example, a small corner shelving unit will not take up any extra space and is a smart use of space. Place it close to the tub or shower where you need easy access to these items.

Install Nook for Shower Items

While you are thinking about small bathroom shelf ideas, think about adding a shower nook. This will get all your shower necessities off the side of the tub and organized in one great area.

Soap, shampoo, razors, and anything else you always need can be kept there and not take up space somewhere else. Your bathroom will seem far less cluttered with everything together out of sight.

Replace Medicine Cabinet

If your medicine cabinet is bulky and taking up a good amount of space, replace it with a nice mirror and better lighting. You can take the items from there and put them in drawers in your vanity or in baskets on your wall shelves. Better yet, tuck them away behind custom bathroom cabinets.

If your home is older and the medicine cabinet is recessed, our design experts suggest that you take advantage of it with an open concept. You can use the selves without the front, put lights inside, or install a decorative mirror inside.
