Choose a bit on the side
This cubbyhole-style shelving is a great option for this bathroom. A solid vanity unit would have taken up a big chunk of space, whereas this floating basin is unobtrusive and the neat side unit makes light work of storing towels and bathroom essentials.

Opt for a wall of fitted cabinetry
If you have the budget and the space, then a whole wall of cupboards and drawers will make the most of every inch. This amount of storage could take care of clutter from other rooms, too, storing everything from sports equipment to the ironing board.

Hang up a shallow shelving unit
Here’s another great example of wasted space turned workhorse. A slender wall-hung unit above the bath keeps toiletries out of the way yet close at hand. Baskets used on open shelves offer opportunities to play around with different colours, patterns and textures, as well as marshalling smaller products into order.
