Bathroom Storage Ideas: Maximize Space in Small Bathrooms (2025 Edition)
Living in a cozy apartment or older Aussie home? You're probably dealing with one of the biggest challenges in everyday life: not enough bathroom space.
The good news? You don’t need a renovation to make a dramatic difference. With some clever planning and the right storage, even the tiniest bathroom can feel spacious, calm, and totally under control.
Let’s unlock your bathroom’s full potential with the best small space storage ideas for 2025.
1. Use Vertical Space (Your Walls Are Wasted Gold)
In a small bathroom, wall space is prime real estate. Install:
- Wall-mounted shelves above the toilet or beside the mirror
- Floating corner shelves to hold daily essentials
- Towel ladders or racks that lean — no drilling required
🧼 Product spotlight:
White Bathroom Cabinet with Hidden Laundry Basket — doubles as linen storage + hamper in one.
2. Think Multi-Use, Not More Units
In a small space, every item should work overtime. Look for:
- Mirror cabinets to store skincare or meds
- Benches with baskets that store towels underneath
- Toilet roll holders with storage shelves for wipes, sprays, and backups
✨ Smart tip: Choose narrow-depth cabinets to avoid crowding walkways.
3. Tuck It Away with Under-Sink & Over-Toilet Solutions
Maximize awkward spots most people ignore:
- Under-sink drawers: Opt for curved drawer units that work around plumbing
- Over-the-toilet cabinets: Add hidden storage without taking up floor space
-
Stackable baskets: Perfect for makeup, cleaning products, or first aid

4. Ditch the Clutter, Keep the Calm
Small bathrooms can look messy fast. Try:

- Wall hooks for hanging robes, loofahs, or organisers
- Drawer dividers to stop the junk-drawer effect
🚿 Pro tip: Choose light colours and wood tones to make the space feel bigger and warmer.
5. Add a Storage Cabinet That Does It All
Need something sleek but serious about storage?
Consider a tall narrow bathroom cabinet. Ideal for:
- Linen and towels
