I rolled my eyes, thinking it would be a clutter disaster. But to my surprise, it was one of the most charming, functional spaces I’ve ever done. Small spaces really do push our creativity.1: Woven Rattan CharmI love using natural rattan baskets beside the vanity. They give an earthy warmth and hide unsightly bottles. The only catch? Keep them away from direct splashes unless you don’t mind a little wear.save pin2: Under-sink Pull-Out BasketsFor clients who want every inch to work hard, I use pull-out wire baskets under the sink. It’s like finding secret storage in plain sight. I’ve even planned these in tight layouts using my trusted bathroom design sketches.save pin3: Hanging Wire BasketsA game-changer in cramped bathrooms: mount wire baskets on the wall for rolled towels or toiletries. They keep counters clear and give an industrial vibe.save pin4: Stackable Plastic BinsNot as romantic as rattan, but transparent plastic baskets are unbeatable for spotting what you need fast. Perfect for families who want function first.save pin5: Corner Floor BasketsWhen corners feel empty, I drop in a big round basket for extra loo rolls or bath toys. I once found a woven one with a lid that made my client’s clutter vanish instantly.save pin6: Over-the-Toilet Shelf with BasketsVertical space is a blessing in small bathrooms — a shelf above the toilet with matching baskets can store everything from lotions to backup towels. I first tested this in a micro-apartment I planned using a compact layout concept, and it was a hit.save pin7: Seagrass Drawer BasketsSlide seagrass baskets into open shelving for a clean, unified look. They’re budget-friendly and easy to swap if styles change.save pin8: Narrow Rolling Cart with BasketsWhen space between the sink and wall is just a few inches, a skinny rolling cart fitted with baskets can feel custom-made. Great for storing daily essentials.save pin9: Shower-safe Plastic BasketsIn showers, I stick to perforated plastic baskets that drain fast and resist mold. They’re not glamorous, but they save a lot of scrubbing.save pin10: Decorative Display BasketsSometimes, baskets can be purely for beauty — think a small, patterned basket holding dried flowers or fancy soaps. I often place these as finishing touches in projects where we’ve already nailed the functional storage with tools like a full layout mock-up.save pinFAQQ: How do I keep baskets in the bathroom from getting damp?A: Choose moisture-resistant materials, and avoid placing them directly in splash zones or use liners inside.Q: How many baskets are too many?A: If you can’t remember what’s inside without checking each one, it’s time to switch to labels or reduce the number.Start for FREEPlease check with customer service before testing new feature.Free Room PlannerDesign your dream room online for free with the powerful room designer toolStart for FREE
