Bathrooms are often quite small and having space for everything is key. That’s why you need smart shelving here more than anywhere else! Having smart shelving is one of the best ways to accommodate everything you really need in your bathroom. Here are some ideas of such shelves!
Open Shelving
Open shelving works well due to having the capability of displaying only the items you want to be displayed. Consider it one of the easiest ways of keeping your bathroom organized. Such shelving doesn’t look bulky at the same time, which means that your bathroom won’t look cluttered, that’s amazing for a small space.

Rolling Cart
If you have a smaller bathroom and can’t seem to find a perfect item to give your bathroom a makeover, bringing a rolling cart is the way to go. A rolling cart gives you the access you need to your favorite items while still being chic and charming. You may roll it in or out if you don’t need these items regularly and give yourself a bit more space sometimes.

Above The Tub
If you’re fortunate enough to have a large tub with a large space on top of it, take a shelf or two and completely fall in love with the space. It’s all about making that space feel a part of your décor. The larger the area you have above the tub the more shelves you can bring in, thus giving you additional room for any of your bathroom essentials. Additionally, it’s perfect for those that want to add a decorative bit to that particular space.

Shelving Nook
If you are a happy owner of a large bathroom or at least have an awkward corner there, it’s time to consider transforming it into a shelving nook. A shelving nook allows you to display towels, toiletries, and other decorative items that don’t exactly fit everywhere. The key is bringing wood shelves and mounting them in that particular awkward corner space.
