Bathroom renovations, particularly guest bathrooms, ‘saw a 38% increase in spending’ in 2023.
A key part of renovating a bathroom is making the space you have available more functional and organised. You may also be looking for ways to make your small bathroom look bigger.
If you’re renovating your bathroom, you might be looking for inspiration for storage ideas to make the most out of a very small bathroom.
In this guide, we’ll cover storage ideas for very small bathrooms to provide you with some solutions ahead of your bathroom renovation.
Let’s get into it.
Storage ideas for very small bathrooms include, but are not limited to:
Over-the-toilet cabinets
Dual purpose bathroom mirror cabinets
Built-in corner shelves
Built-in under-sink cabinets
Shower shelves
1. Over-The-Toilet Cabinets
A great storage solution to maximise the space in a very small bathroom is over-the-toilet cabinets.
Over-toilet cabinets can be used to store everything from towels to bath and shower products and can be an incredibly smart storage solution for those with limited space.
That said, when installing your over-the-toilet cabinet, there should be at least 24 inches of clearance above the toilet tank to ensure you can access it without any issues.
With your chosen bathroom designer, you can design an over-the-toilet cabinet that fits seamlessly with your bathroom design.

2. Dual Purpose Bathroom Mirror Cabinets
When renovating your bathroom, another storage idea to consider is dual purpose bathroom mirror cabinets.
Instead of having a separate bathroom mirror and bathroom cabinet, bathroom mirror cabinets provide the ultimate space-saving solution.
Becoming a popular trend over the years through eliminating the need for a separate mirror, they offer a convenient space to store your bathroom essentials such as:
Toothbrushes and toothpaste.
Cleansers.
Dental floss.
Bathroom mirror cabinets are ideal for smaller bathrooms with limited storage space and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some have adjustable lighting, and some even offer charging and shaver sockets.
So, whatever your needs, there’s a bathroom mirror cabinet perfect for your lifestyle.
3. Built-In Corner Shelves
The next bathroom storage idea for smaller bathrooms is built-in corner shelves.
Shelves look great in corners as they offer a compact, specific area to take up space. This makes the most of space you otherwise wouldn’t be able to use and can be used to store and organise a range of bathroom accessories, from electric chargers to bathroom products.
Not only are they attractive additions to your bathroom offering you the opportunity to display decorative bathroom pieces, but they’re highly functional in that they create valuable floor space.

Considering that ‘One in 10 people said that a lack of built-in storage was their biggest bathroom frustration’, built-in under-sink cabinets can solve many storage issues.
4. Built-In Under-Sink Cabinets
Another bathroom storage solution is built-in under-sink cabinets.
Considering that ‘One in 10 people said that a lack of built-in storage was their biggest bathroom frustration’, built-in under-sink cabinets can solve many storage issues.
Under-sink cabinets are great for storing cleaning products and can allow you to conceal the pipework to ensure nothing interferes with the sleek design of your bathroom.
Our professional and experienced designers at Cwtch Haus can collaborate with you to design functional and space-saving under-sink cabinets.
Each bathroom renovation project is carefully considered and is always built around the client's vision. We have access to a wide range of products and materials to make sure each bathroom design is perfect for the client’s needs and lifestyle.

Lastly, to make the most out of the vertical space in your small bathroom, why not try shower shelves as a storage idea?
Shower shelves offer the perfect storage solution for your shower and bath products. From shampoo to cleanser to conditioner, shower shelves allow you to display and organise all of your products so that they’re easily accessible.
Good quality shower shelves are typically made from durable materials, such as stainless steel, to be able to withstand consistent exposure to moisture.
The range of options available means that you’ll be sure to find shower shelves that seamlessly suit the design of your bathroom renovation.
