From morning make-up sessions to daily showers and evening wind-down routines, the bathroom is a space that gets a lot of use and serves several very important purposes. But over time, they can become cluttered, crowded spaces, turning what should be a moment of well-being into a stressful chore.

Whether you have a grand bathroom or a tiny ensuite, make the most of every inch of space with these savvy storage solutions.

If you're lucky enough to have a window in your bathroom, then you'll likely have a ledge that's currently redundant. Yet this space is just an extra shelf that's waiting to be put to use.

Whether you use it to store beauty products, perfumes or plants, it's the ideal spot for creating a stylish display, while also maximising every inch of space in your bathroom.

If space is sparse, then shop around for streamlined bathroom furniture that can slot in the narrow space next to the toilet, below the sink or behind the door.

You might have a nice amount of cupboard space in your bathroom, but are you really making the most of it? These handy shelves affix to another, creating an extra area for smaller items.

Perfect for space-saving on your skincare collection, a lazy Susan will allow you to stack your lotions and potions, keeping them within easy reach with just a gentle spin.

If you don't have the cupboard space for storing endless toilet paper rolls, then keep them close to hand and on display with this clever storage idea.

Hang a rope from a shelf, then pass it through the rolls and tie a knot in the end, to keep them in place. Try painting the rope a quarter of the way up, to add a splash of colour. Once you hit the painted section, you'll know it's time to restock!

You might have to call in the experts for this one, but if you have a fitted bathtub, it’s well worth checking for any unused space behind the bath panel.

You could add hinges to your panel to allow you to open it up and hide cleaning products inside, or you could even invest in a tub that comes with a sliding panel already. This secret storage space will allow you to hide away all those non-aesthetically pleasing, but essential, items.

Clever gadgets that stick to bathroom walls make for a cleaner and more organised bathroom. Not only will they free up surfaces, but you'll keep your sides free from soap scum build-ups.

Whether you opt for a handy suction-based storage caddy or affix one to the wall formerly, these holders can serve various purposes, keeping accessories like toothbrushes, razors, hair brushes and hand soap neatly stored and easy to locate.

Maximise bathroom storage space by using your walls or the side of your cabinets to attach hooks. You can buy no-drill hooks that won't damage tiles but remember, these will also come with a weight limit.

Hang lighter items, like facecloths and sponges on smaller, self-adhesive hooks, while bathrobes and towels can be hung on larger, sturdier hooks.

Unlock hidden storage space by building recess shelving into stud walls. A stud (or partition) wall is an interior wall that has no hard core in-between the outer panels, making it a perfect surface for cut-out shelving that can be used for storing or displaying items.

Seasoned DIYers can find many tutorials online for this project or, if you prefer, it's a straightforward job for a professional, with the finished effect looking chic and streamlined. This particular cabinet is recessed in the wall and provides both a cupboard space and an inset shelf.

Storing products in baskets is not only an easy way to reach items quickly, while keeping them hidden away, it's also a great way of adding texture and personality to a simple bathroom. Fill them up with freshly rolled towels, toilet paper rolls and toiletries, or use a larger one as a stylish laundry bin.

Placed casually on the floor or slotted onto shelves, they can be moved about easily and you can always group them together in different sizes, with some used to display a houseplant or two.

The area above the bathtub is often neglected, so why not use the space with a mounted bathroom rail? Ideal for hanging a towel or two, you can fix them horizontally or vertically to fit in with tricky or small spaces.

Some rails even come with an additional shelf above, providing extra room for towels or other essentials.

Not all bathrooms have to be ultra-modern. A peg rail will add instant country charm to your bathroom and, of course, all of those hooks will offer plenty of storage space for hanging up bathroom accessories.

We love how pretty this wooden rail looks, with its decorative hanging baskets that provide even more storage space.

Wave farewell to the days of rogue cotton buds and loose cotton wool pads, with an organised system that’s both functional and stylish.

Modified Mason or other glass jars are perfect for storing such items and will add a touch of rustic charm to your bathroom.

In even the smallest bathroom, there are options for creatively storing your stuff. Look to utilise negative space – those tricky areas in between, beneath or on top of cabinets, for example.

And you can be creative, too. Add some stylish stackable storage boxes or a basket of towels, with some plants to bring a splash of greenery to the display.

Make full use of your shower cubicle by hanging a storage caddy over the shower head or enclosure wall. Not only will it keep the floor clear, it will help prevent accidents, as there will no longer be the need to bend down to pick up the shampoo.

Invest in a stainless steel version to ensure it doesn't rust and remember to clean the tiles or glass behind it regularly, to keep it looking its best.

If you own a bar cart that gets little use, or you fancy repurposing one you've discovered at a flea market, give it a new lease of life in your bathroom and stock it up with towels, toiletries, candles and diffusers.

If you prefer something new, there are plenty of bathroom trolleys and carts out there, providing storage space that can neatly be tucked into a corner or beneath the sink. Opt for a model on wheels for easy access.

You may have heard this trick about packing, but we’ll bet it slipped your mind when thinking about your towel storage! Rolling towels – much like clothes in a drawer or suitcase – helps you fit more into a smaller space.

Plus, it helps give your home a luxurious spa-like feel.

Fed up with dirty towels left on the bathroom floor and a lack of storage for your beauty products? Ladder shelves are a modern twist on a conventional unit, as the shelves are ideal for toiletries and towels, but they can be moved around as needed and will take up minimal floor space.

Hang a mirror above one to make a beauty station, or simply use them for slimline storage. Keep them simple in wood or white, or you could paint them to reflect your bathroom's colour scheme.

Adding a removable rack over the bath can create valuable storage in your bathroom, without taking up any extra floor space.

Whether you choose a wooden, plastic or metal design, there are lots of variations available and some even come with a book stand and a holder for your favourite drink. Perfect for a luxurious soak in the tub.

Channel your local beauty or nail salon by repurposing a craft caddy to create an organised and easy-to-reach storage solution for your make-up, skincare items or manicure tools.

It's a fun idea and keeps beauty essentials tidy and easy to see at a glance. There are also plenty of purpose-made items out there that will allow you to store your essentials in style.

Pills and medicines must be safely stored, especially if there are children and pets around the house. In the bathroom, they also need to be kept dry, organised and accessible.

A clear system with translucent storage makes over-the-counter drugs easily identifiable, while a lockable box keeps stronger prescription items secure and extra safe.

Even if you have the smallest bathroom, there will no doubt be wall space that's being wasted. Compact shelving units are perfect for putting redundant wall space to good use.

Install your own or buy something that will tuck neatly into that awkward area. A corner shelf could be the ideal solution if space is tight.

Fed up of toilet rolls falling out of that overflowing cupboard every time you open the door? Keep them hidden, but close at hand, with stylish storage that fits neatly next to the toilet. A slimline caddy will slot into a narrow space, while the top will double up as a small shelf.

If you have the space, you can opt for a built-in cabinet tucked behind the toilet. Perfect for storing those unsightly essentials and creating a truly beautiful bathroom.

Don’t have enough cupboard space for towels? Elevate your ideas. This resourceful hack utilises an otherwise wasted space – simply fix a small shelf above the door, toilet, or near the ceiling, and you have the perfect place for keeping clean towels.

When closed, this stylish mirror looks like just that, a mirror. However, it opens up to reveal an array of hidden storage space.

Even the area above your porcelain throne isn’t safe from storage solutions. This smart wall unit utilises vertical rather than horizontal space, so you don’t have to worry about the room feeling cramped.

What else were you going to use that wall space for?

Toothbrushes can clutter up shelves and sinks, so a sectional unit can be the ideal solution to help you get organised.

 Cutlery drainers often come with dividers, so why not pick one up for cheap and use it to tidy up your brushes? You can designate each section to a different family or household member.

Right now, your bathroom door might feature a singular hook for a solo towel, but put this hook to good use and you could quickly create even more storage opportunities. Hang an organiser behind the door to store everything from make-up to moisturisers and slippers.

You could even convert a shoe organiser into a handy storage unit, using each compartment for a different item.

Give each member of the family their own toothbrush holder to use, and store them on the wall to keep surfaces clear. These tight-grip suction cups will attach to tiles and you can even personalize each one with a sticky letter initial to stop any early-morning arguments!
