You have probably noticed that most bathrooms nowadays look almost the same. Sure, there are different colors and styles here and there, but the basics are quite similar. If you want to stand out from the crowd, then it’s time you put some unique bathroom storage ideas into practice.

Your bathroom should express your personal style whether it’s elegant or spunky. You can make your bathroom truly your own by incorporating bits of your personality into its design. Defining the storage space is a huge part of any bathroom. While it is easy to simply lob a cabinet or cupboard into a corner and stuff everything in there, this does not do much for the aesthetics.

We spend a lot of time in the bathroom, have you noticed? In fact, it is one of the most used rooms in the house. So it makes sense to take the time and effort to make it look great.

Some Unique Bathroom Storage Ideas

Sometimes, adding storage can take up space and make the bathroom feel very cramped. The answer is to find or create storage spaces in areas that are generally not typically even considered. For example, the space above the toilet can be equipped with small wall shelves. And the space between wall studs can take on a few shelves too.

Almost every bathroom has an awkward little corner that nothing can be done with. But do not let it go to waste. There are many interesting pot racks or corner racks available that will go all the way to the ceiling and will fit perfectly in that stubborn corner. You may think that the shelves of a pot rack are too small to be of much use storage wise. But you can store a lot of small items there.

For example, you can put your ear buds, makeup, hair brushes in wicker baskets and put them on the shelves. Or you can use the shelves for plants or candles to give the room a more homely feel. But do not clutter up the shelves with unnecessary things. Clutter just eats away into space and will make the room seem smaller and more depressing.

If you go to a flea market or an antique store, keep an eye out for a heavy wrought iron vertical rack. These may not seem like much at first glance, but once they are cleaned and painted in a color or texture of your choice, they will give your bathroom an old European feel. Plus, these racks are sturdy and will stand the test of time.

Mirrors are an important part of any bathroom. You use it to make sure you look presentable after all your cleaning and preening and primping. But it can serve another purpose too.

While this is not strictly about storage, strategically placed mirrors can add the illusion of extra space by reflecting the light in the room. So if you have a really small bathroom, a mirror or two can definitely make it look bigger.

Lastly, keep your bathroom clean and orderly (tough for many people) and you really should have no problem with storage.
