BEST FINDS / Small bathrooms

A small bathroom asks a lot of a few surfaces.

Towels need somewhere to hang, spare rolls need a place nearby, and the bottles used every morning have to stay within reach. Finding room for those essentials starts with noticing which parts of the room are already doing too much.

These five storage pieces make use of different areas, including a corner, the space behind a mirror, and a shower wall. Each has a distinct role, so begin with the one that suits your routine. Keep door swings and walking space in mind as you plan, and let the room’s usable dimensions guide the choice.

Keep the daily routine within reach

The best use of a small bathroom is personal to the way the room is shared. Give daily essentials the easiest positions and keep backups together. Once those groups have dependable homes, leave a little space around them so the room remains easy to use and straightforward to put back in order.
