Storage is king in small bathrooms and most of us have a bathroom that only has enough space for a peasant. Often these small bathrooms have a cramped shower and a small vanity with that being about it.

Let me guide you through some smart and practical ideas for getting the most storage and shelving out of your small bathroom space.

Tall Boys

When it comes to SMALL BATHROOMS sometimes the best decision you could ever make is using a TALL BOY Bathroom cupboard but why?

• Allows for deep storage
• Can install towels, bigger bottles and much handier items
• Same depth as the vanity so won’t impact space.

Tallboys usually 400mm to 500mm wide allow you to put maximum storage in a small bathroom section using minimal wall space.

You will often need to give up some benchtop space but if you can make it work you will get so much out of the tall boy including towels etc you will effectively get twice the amount of storage.

Shower Niche/Recess/Hole In The Wall 

By now you will know what a niche is or have a certain idea but WHY is it important for small bathroom spaces.

The number one reason to install a shower niche in your smaller bathroom is the simple fact that it does not take SHOWER SPACE. Shower space can be super important for someone with barely any.

There are a few downsides and issues you might have installing the shower recess CLICK HERE for those but if you can avoid the half wall and go the hole in the wall. 

Robe Hooks and Vertical Bars The Game Changer

Let’s be clear a robe hook is VERY POOR at drying but a robe hook is awesome for allowing you to have more flexibility in your bathroom allowing you to put them everywhere taking up much less space.

Furthermore, the vertical heated towel rail is the better option of the two as it allows you to actually dry your towels as well and is currently super popular for people with no space.

Look at Vertical Heated Towel Rails as the future of all small bathroom renovations as they are luxury everyone can fit.

Mirror Cabinets 

Nothing new here but mirror cabinets are great for keeping items off your benchtop and putting it into a more hidden location.

In addition to getting items off the benchtop the key with a mirror cabinet is getting it recessed in the wall.

This though is not always easy in a brick home or a stud frame house renovation so a little luck and planning is needed.

Curved Bathrooms Are Here

Last of all we have the most modern trend of them all the CURVED BATHROOM. The curved bathroom is how it sounds everything is curved.

For a small bathroom like yours curved equals good design. Small curved bathrooms feel modern, larger and less pointy to be technical with can really show off your bathroom.

HERE OR BELOW is an entire breakdown of how you can create a curved small bathroom for your next design.

Final Thoughts

Finally, when it comes to small bathroom storage I only have one rule and that is anything goes.

You are fighting a losing battle daily trying to fit all your items in a small space so if you find a shelf or floating hanger that works in your space then do it. The above suggestions are the ideal design and ideas you should work towards but always renovate or design for your needs and function. .

It’s important to note that all our advice is general in nature and all bathrooms are unique so always speak to your local qualified tradesman for the best advice.
