A lot of people complain that their bathroom is too small and they have lots of stuff that they don't know where to store. There are a lot of personal effects and home and personal hygiene products that we usually keep in the bathroom.

At times, the space in a bathroom is not particularly large, and can prove insufficient for the needs of a family (or even a single person).

Possible space-saving solutions to be taken into consideration are, however, very numerous. Below, are some ideas which could help you.

Consider fixing fruit crates to the wall as shelves. As a place to store toilet paper, towels and more, it is a fantastic idea. The fact that they can be hung up will allow you to take advantage of any free areas of wall you have.

Narrow shelves, hanging from supports made from macrame, are an excellent decorative and space-saving solution.

There are various types of containers and supports for bathroom accessories and products, readily available in shops. Some of them are made especially for shampoo and shower gel and it is very useful to place them on the shower wall or directly hanging from the shower head (especially if space is limited and you don't want to waste more with shelves and shelves).

And if you also loads of stuff, you can consider hanging supports and containers on the back of the door.

Attaching a toilet paper holder directly to the cistern may seem like an extreme solution, but there are bathrooms that are so tiny that even this tip is useful.

And then there are the classics under-sink tables (with shelves). The wooden models have the advantage of being able to be cut to size to take advantage of all the space possible, without cluttering the bathroom.

The vertical supports, made of wood or other materials - such as those in the photo - will allow you to stack many rolled towels on it without resorting to using bulky shelves or cabinets.

What do you think of a wooden column, which can be made with a pallet? It is tall and narrow, can be placed anywhere and, when divided into shelves, can hold both toilet paper and rolled-up towels.

And there are also the classic retractable vertical shelves which are now very popular as space-saving solutions for other areas of the house. They are highly functional and very useful.
