Guest Picks: Solve Your Bathroom Storage Woes
Keep your bath neat and organized with these attractive cabinets, shelves and hampers
Our house was flipped a few years before my husband and I bought it, and instead of putting in a vanity-sink combination in the bathroom, the owners opted for a pedestal sink. It’s pretty, but it leaves us with no place to put our bathroom essentials. Since the moment we moved in, I’ve been searching for attractive and unique storage solutions. Do you have the same problem? Here are 20 pieces that can help. — Claudia from Mockingbird Hill Cottage

I absolutely love, love this linen cabinet! What a beautiful and functional addition this would be in any bathroom.
Rustic Over-the-Toilet Storage Ladder
This is a neat way to add storage with a rustic, industrial look.
Symphony Linen Cabinet, White
I love that this linen cabinet uses vertical space. It’s perfect for anyone who doesn’t have a lot of extra wall space in the bathroom. The design is simple and lovely.
Wall-Mounting Chrome Finish 2-Tier Bath Shelf
If you like the sleek look of chrome, this wall shelf might be for you.
Hamilton Shutter Bath Vanity, Gray
Sigh. I would love a cabinet like this if we didn’t have a pedestal sink. It’s beautiful and elegant and has lots of storage.
Wire Mesh Storage, Hanging Double Shelf
These mesh shelves are such a simple but effective way to store some towels and bath necessities. You could also use old locker baskets.
Modern Jayden Metal Shelf Units
Toiletries and hair dryers would find a home in this rolling cart. It wouldn’t take up much space, and it has a neat industrial look.
Large White Giselle Cabinet
I love anything that looks like a vintage medical cabinet. This isn’t vintage, but it sure looks fabulous!
The Chemist’s Jar
Glass jars can hold all sorts of bathroom essentials. You could use something as basic as a mason jar or this beautiful Chemist’s Jar from Anthropologie.
Rustic Reclaimed-Wood Industrial Hooks by Riri Creations
If you want to use your space wisely, why not hang your towels from hooks?

This linen cabinet from Ikea would make a striking addition to a bathroom. And I have to say that I love this red!
Ikea PS Cabinet, Turquoise
Short on space? This narrow, locker-type cabinet in a great shade of blue might do the trick.

This corner medicine cabinet isn't vintage, but it sure re-creates that look. It's a great way to store those necessary items.
Floor-Standing Ladder
If you don't want ladder-type storage above the toilet, how about a floor unit?
Organize It All Over-Door Towel Organizer
We have one towel rack, which isn’t enough. I added an over-the-door rack much like this one, and it has made a huge difference. It takes up very little space. I also use it to dry other items.
Brushed Steel Wall-Mount Towel Rack
If you don’t have room for a linen cabinet, why not take a tip from hotels and hang a vertical rack for rolled-up towels? It will make it seem like you’re on vacation!
Lamont Home Apollo Snag-Proof Wicker Upright Laundry Hamper, White
A hamper is a bathroom necessity. This wicker version is lovely.
Vintage 1950s/1960s Floral Metal Toleware Hamper by Re-Vamp
Everyone needs a place to store toilet tissue. This vintage container is similar to the one I use in my bathroom to store bathroom essentials. It’s fun, stylish, vintage and useful.
