Simple Storage to Make Bathrooms Feel Bigger

The average UK bathroom is around 2.3m x 2.7 metres, making it the smallest room in the home. I mean, you can probably stretch out in your bath and touch one wall with your head and the other with your toes! Yep, your bathroom isn’t going to win any prizes for size, but it could still win the award for style with these simple storage ideas to make your bathroom feel bigger.

1. Glass storage. There’s no getting away from the fact that you need products and potions in your bathroom. Some of us more than others! When there are bottles upon bottles on every surface though, it quickly becomes messy. Traditional wooden shelving often isn’t suitable in a bathroom due to the condensation. A bulky wooden shelf can also obstruct your view and make your small bathroom appear smaller. Opt instead for our Chrome/Glass Adjustable Shelving. The glass will stay mildew free and be less obtrusive in your bathroom. Another tip? Hang your shelves slightly higher than usual to add to the feeling of space and height.

2. Bathroom ladder. Discarded slithers of soap and loo rolls stored on top of the toilet don’t add up to a bathroom that feels spacious and organised. Know what you need? A bathroom ladder! No, not to escape from the mess, but to add much needed style and function to your bathroom organisation. A ladder shelving unit can be placed against a free wall and loaded with wicker baskets filled with soap (and the obligatory loo rolls too!).

3. White wire shelving. Is there anything more enticing and restorative than walking into a bathroom with a pile of freshly laundered and folded towels? It says fancy hotel bathroom, and it says organisation and that’s definitely a look to aspire to in your bathroom! A good place to start is with the Kleinn White Wire Shelving Unit. Then, fold those towels the Marie Kondo way, bringing the two shortest edges together, then again so you have a rectangle. Then fold inwards from the short edge, and over again. Place your towels upwards on your shelving unit for that 5 star feel.
4. Laundry basket. As much as bathroom storage is about making things look nice, it also has to be a practical space. Dirty clothes and wet towels aren’t part of that look so invest in a handy laundry basket to keep floors free of mess and your bathroom looking fresh and tidy. A laundry basket with metal/foam handles is easy care and quick to grab from the bathroom on wash day.
5. Corner shelving. Even the tiniest of tiny bathrooms will usually still have one useable corner for a dinky shelving unit. The Kleinn Chrome Wire Corner Shelves is fan shaped and has a width and depth of just 300mm. Just the right size for a few glass jars filled with cotton pads, cleansers and your other odds and ends. With these simple bathroom storage tips, your bathroom will be looking bigger and better than ever!
