Sometimes the smallest spaces can be the hardest to design right. I constantly find myself walking a fine line between ample storage and the visual weight of a room. Bathrooms, in particular, are rooms where storage is premium. There are just so many things that need to have a home in a bathroom- towels, toothbrushes, shampoo, lotions, makeup, the list goes on and on. There is so much out there that creatively addresses the bathroom storage issue. Below are some of my go-to recommendations when I have a client that asks for more storage in their bathroom.

Shower Niches
These wonderful storage niches don't take up any room, they add to it. What is great about shower niches is that they often fit right between studs in your wall framing, so you don't have to build a wall out to put them in. Tile it in the shower wall tile, or using something that coordinates, and you have a stylish place to house your shower essentials.

Wall Mounted Shelving
You cannot go wrong with a narrow wall mounted shelf. It takes up no floor space, and the glass shelves take up no visual weight, either.

Wall Mounted Vanities
To reinforce my point, lift storage opportunities off of the floor. Vanities like the one above are packed with storage space, but the piece doesn't take over the space because you can see the space between it and floor below.

Towel Ladders
You can certainly fit plenty of towels on a towel ladder like the one above. I've seen these wall mounted as well, so you don't need to worry about taking up precious floorspace with a ladder footprint. Stack 'em up.
