How to Add Storage to a Small Bathroom
Published How we research
Small bathrooms rarely have a linen closet, so storage has to come from the vertical space you are ignoring: above the toilet and on the back of the door. Here is how to add real storage to a tiny bathroom without a renovation.

Build up over the toilet
The wall above the toilet tank is usually empty. A freestanding over-the-toilet shelf or cabinet turns it into three tiers of storage for towels and supplies, with no drilling required.
Hang it on the door
An over-the-door organizer keeps toiletries, hair tools, and cleaning supplies visible and off the counter, which makes a cramped bathroom feel twice as big.
Beat the damp
Bathrooms trap moisture that warps storage and breeds mold. A small dehumidifier keeps humidity in check so your supplies and the room itself last.
