With These 20 Bathroom Shelving Ideas, You Can Finally Say Goodbye to Clutter
Whether you consider yourself a toiletry maximalist or you just have a few go-to products you keep on repeat, the bathroom never seems to have enough space to store it all. When your medicine cabinet is too packed to close properly and you constantly find yourself knocking items off your sink, it's time to bring in some additional storage via shelving.
From single statement shelves to built-in cabinetry, here are 20 bathroom shelving ideas that will have you saying goodbye to clutter ASAP.
Create a Windowsill Shelf
A single ledge extended from wall to wall positioned right under a window not only works as a windowsill, it double duties as a place to rest some extra toiletries. Make it pop more by matching it to your bathroom vanity mirror trim that contrasts against your wall color.
Or Try a Cabinet Shelf
If you're looking to fill an empty space or need to add more storage in a construction-free, renter-friendly way, consider sliding in a narrow cabinet. We love how this one boasts a glass door to show off your prettiest products and luxe towels.
Install Floating Shelves
Floating shelves are a minimalist's dream, and surprisingly, they're much easier to install than they look. Make them work in your space by matching them to your bathroom mirror or vanity. We love how these darker wood shelves pair perfectly with the wood drawers and mirror frame.
Hang a Glass Shelf
A pair of glass shelves hung next to your bathroom vanity mirror serves as the perfect resting place for the products you use every day. And the best part is they're thin and minimal, so they'll never create an eyesore in your impeccably curated space.
Go for a Stylish Shelving Unit
Shelving units don't always mean a bulky piece of furniture. This delicately designed piece looks more like an art piece than a storage solution, but the built-in shelves and towel rack make it a catchall your bathroom needs.
Decorate Shelves However You Like
Every item in your home should reflect your personal style—even your storage pieces. These boho-inspired rattan wall shelves not only hold the essentials, but they also look right at home in this sunny space. The moral of the story: you can have storage and good looks all in one.
Utilize Your Window Ledge
If you have a window in your bathroom (which we suspect you do), you have a space to store even more products. A couple of narrow shelves hung inside the frame make for extra space to store those pretty glass jars and vials.
The best part? The sun shining through the window and your products makes for a unique suncatcher.
Add an Over-the-Toilet Ladder Shelf
By far the easiest storage addition to any bathroom is the over-the-toilet shelf. It fits in almost any space, makes use of the empty wall area above your toilet, and provides plenty of storage for anything from hand towels to cotton balls. And the best part is it doesn't require a handyman or losing your deposit on your rented space.
Carve an Alcove Shelf
If you're working with a new build or renovating an old space, you'd be remiss not to consult with your contractor about an alcove shelf. The recessed compartment provides a ledge to store products, candles, and more, while giving your entire bathroom a certain aesthetic. Plus, it doesn't take up any more room in your small bathroom that you're not willing to part with.
Reclaim a Shelf
If you consider yourself (or a friend) the handy type, do yourself a favor and DIY your much-needed storage area. Crafting a shelf out of reclaimed wood—rather than buying one at the store—provides just the right amount of space and will transform you to a simpler time.
Stack Vanity Shelves
If you're working with a double sink vanity mirror and can't figure out what to do with the empty wall space in between, a set of floating shelves fills the space and provides even more storage. This setup creates a convenient station for bathroom essentials, such as hand towels, and keeps everything within reach.
Create a Ledge Shelf
If you're looking for something more custom and prefer a built-in shelf, consider a single platform ledge extended from your wall. This design not only houses the bathroom faucet but also offers plenty of space to store relaxation essentials. The built-in look can give your bathroom an expensive spa-like feel.
Try Cubby Shelves
Some bathrooms have awkward alcove spaces that can feel useless. Consider installing cubby-style shelves to store towels, toiletries, and bathroom essentials. These bathroom shelving units will help you organize and maximize your storage space.
Use Cabinet Shelves
For any empty or awkward corners in your bathroom, fill the space with a medicine cabinet with mirror or a bookshelf. This instantly doubles or triples your storage while keeping your space clutter-free.
Go Oversized
For custom builds, consider installing oversized bathroom shelves. These allow for plenty of storage—from extra towels to toiletries—so you can use your linen closet for other purposes.
Curate Your Shelves
When adding bathroom shelving, don't forget to curate the items you display. Using matching glass jars and coordinating hand towels helps create a neat, cohesive look that’s sure to impress your guests.
Add a Single Shelf
Sometimes, all you need is one bathroom shelf to bring everything together. This minimal design adds both texture and storage without overwhelming your bathroom with clutter.
Tier the Shelves
For extra storage without covering your walls, consider tiered shelves with an open design. These are ideal for small spaces or bathrooms with bold wallpaper, allowing for both style and function.
Don't Forget to Try Cabinets, Too
If you prefer to hide less-attractive bathroom items like toilet paper or cleaning supplies, consider a bathroom vanity cabinet. This keeps your space tidy, while a single shelf below can hold essentials within easy reach for guests.
Contrast Shelves
A simple shelf painted in a contrasting color can bring bathroom shelving to life. Consider matching your shelves to your bathroom mirror or faucet for a cohesive look throughout the space.
