8. Add shelving and hooks

To keep toiletries, bathrobes, towels, and other items off the floor and make the most of a small bathroom, we recommend adding shelving and hooks to the walls. Floating shelves above the toilet is a great place to store everything from folded towels to extra toilet paper. Hooks are also an easy way to increase vertical storage and are a no-brainer in almost any bathroom. Amazon has plenty of options at very affordable prices!

If your sink vanity doesn’t have built-in drawers, you can still use the space under it for storage. With a few shelves there, you get a quick and easy solution to neatly store bathroom essentials.
