While that idea didn’t survive the first steam session, it did lead me to explore just how creative bathroom storage can get. Small spaces have this magical way of forcing us to be inventive, and honestly, UK bathrooms are often compact enough to spark brilliant ideas. Today, I’m sharing my top 10 bathroom storage inspirations drawn straight from real-life projects I’ve handled.1. Floating Vanity with Hidden DrawersA floating vanity can make even a narrow en-suite feel larger. I love adding hidden drawers within the vanity’s main compartment — they’re perfect for storing spare toiletries. The only challenge? Making sure plumbing allows the drawer depth you need.save pin2. Built-In Niche ShelvesWhenever I work on a bathroom remodel, I try to carve out wall niches in showers or above baths. Not only do they keep bottles organised, but with some carefully planned wall recesses, they can even double as display areas with LED lighting.save pin3. Over-the-Door RacksThis is such an underrated spot. Towels, robes, and even baskets for smaller items can live here. It’s inexpensive and renter-friendly — my go-to for student flats.save pin4. Slim Rolling CartsThose narrow gaps between the toilet and sink? A slim rolling cart slides right in, and can store cleaning supplies or back-up rolls. Just make sure it’s moisture-resistant.save pin5. Under-Sink Pull-Out BasketsIt’s amazing how much often-ignored space hides beneath sinks. Pull-out baskets make finding items so much easier, especially in deeper cabinets. One project reminded me of planning storage layouts in advance to avoid crowding plumbing lines.save pin6. Ladder-Style Towel RacksLeaning ladders are flexible — you can move them around, hang towels, or use baskets for smaller toiletries. Just avoid placing them where they block ventilation.save pin7. Mirrored Cabinets with Extra DepthAdding a few extra centimetres to a mirrored cabinet can create surprising space for bulkier products. Clients love how it appears completely flush but hides more than expected.save pin8. Corner Shelving UnitsThose awkward corners? They’re prime real estate for tiered shelves. They make use of dead space without visually cluttering the room, especially when matched to wall colour.save pin9. Wall-Mounted DispensersNo more bottle clutter — wall dispensers for shampoo and soap free up ledge space. The installation is simple, but you'll want to align them neatly for a polished look, as I often show in 3D visual mockups for clients.save pin10. Multi-Tier Hanging BasketsFrom the shower rail or ceiling hooks, these hanging baskets are airy and removable for cleaning. They’re budget-friendly and playful — just ensure they're rust-proof.save pinFAQQ: Are these storage ideas suitable for rental homes?A: Yes, many options like over-the-door racks, rolling carts, and ladder racks are non-permanent and easy to remove when you move out.Q: What’s the best moisture-proof storage material?A: In humid UK bathrooms, go for stainless steel, treated wood, or high-quality plastics to avoid early wear.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
