Bathroom Storage Ideas + Tips

The bathroom is quite often ‘the smallest room in the house’ and as such needs to be meticulously planned. It’s not just fitting in a bath and a shower or a double basin, it’s providing the right amount of storage space too. Here are some of our best bathroom storage ideas…

1 – A Cloakroom Cabinet

A cloakroom is usually on the small side, to say the least, but it’s possible to include bathroom storage ideas in a tiny space. If there’s room for a cloakroom basin, there’s space for a cabinet beneath it. All beautifully illustrated here with our Bermuda Graphite Grey Cloakroom Vanity Cabinet. The door can be hinged to the left or right to suit a tight layout, and the single hole ceramic basin can be teamed with a mixer tap of your choice.

2 – A combination Unit for Basin + WC

A combined unit is a good ideas as it’s space-saving as well as providing storage space. Putting both cabinets together can be the solution in a narrow bathroom (or cloakroom) and of course, there is the added bonus of storage space within the vanity cabinet. Shown here in Bermuda Midnight Green with the neat Seattle toilet. Lots of space in the double-door cabinet, and the appearance of a more spacious floor area as it’s on legs rather than flush to the floor.

3 – A Wall-Hung Storage Cabinet

A narrow wall-hung cabinet can add extra bathroom storage to virtually any bathroom, and choosing a gloss white design, such as our Corsica Bali Gloss design, can fit in with many different colour schemes and patterns. Choose White Gloss for a stylish and timeless look that adds practicality and style to a bathroom. This is the Tall Cabinet, measuring 350mm wide x 1400mm high, with enough room inside for both towels and toiletries. Also available in Storm Grey, and with matching wall hung and WC cabinets.

4 – A Double-Drawer Wall Hung Vanity

Keep it neat and simple with a wall-hung double drawer vanity, such as our Elba two-drawer wall hung vanity cabinet. This design provides two drawers, each with storage – the top drawer is U-Shaped internally to accommodate the ceramic basin. We also have vanity cabinets that have two full-width drawers that can be teamed up with counter-top basins. It’s all covered with our clever designs for storage solutions! Accents here are Matt Black for the handles and tap, but can be switched up to Brushed Brass finishes for a glow-up!

5 – A Mirrored Wall Cabinet

Wall cabinets above the basin are a brilliant way of adding storage ideas to the bathroom, and of course, don’t take up any floor space at all so there is rarely a reason not to include one to make your new bathroom storage friendly. This is one of our wider models at 1200mm wide, with three doors, and it’s a perfect fit above a double basin cabinet. Each section has two internal shelves in addition to the base shelf of the cabinet. There are double and single door models available too. And for further functionality, take a look at our illuminated and Bluetooth designs.

6 – A Corner Vanity Cabinet

A corner cabinet is not just a great space-saver in smaller rooms, it includes storage as well and can be a great solution to a small, square room. Consider a corner design cabinet teamed with a quadrant shower enclosure. Our Lucia vanity cabinet, shown here in Dove Grey, also comes in Chalk White and Graphite Grey and is ready-assembled. With a middle shelf and the bottom shelf, there’s space for towels and necessities – or perhaps it could be designated as the cleaning products cupboard to keep the bathroom clean and tidy.

7 – Go for Wide Curves

Can’t decide between a single basin cabinet or a double? Why not meet yourself halfway with our Bali curved cabinet, shown here in Storm Grey. These spacious drawers are 1000mm wide (a standard single drawer cabinet is 600mm) so you get a good bit of internal storage, plus a nice clear flat space at the side of the basin as well. Which could be just perfect for a vase or a great display of green plants – which generally thrive really well in a bathroom, of course!

8 – Short Projection + Storage Ideas

As we’ve said many times, even small bathroom need storage space, so we have a ‘short projection’ design that is less deep than our standard depth furniture. This means you can still get a couple of roomy storage drawers without compromising too much on floor space. Our Corsica Storm Grey Short Projection Basin Cabinet is just 320mm deep from front to back, and measures 500mm wide. It’s a great bathroom storage idea for smaller spaces. Win-win!
