Do you ever feel like your bathroom is just too small to stay neat and organised no matter how much you try?
We hear this from our customers all the time. Bathrooms can quickly feel cluttered with towels, toiletries, and cleaning products all competing for space. The good news is that with the right approach, you can make even the tiniest bathroom feel spacious, functional, and even a little stylish. Here are eight practical tips that we’ve found work wonders for small bathrooms.
Make use of vertical space
One of the biggest lessons we’ve learnt is that walls are often underused. Tall shower caddies and over the door racks make a massive difference in tight bathrooms. They allow you to keep your essentials off the floor and neatly stacked where you can reach them. We always recommend choosing rust proof designs so they last in the humid bathroom environment. If you’re after inspiration, here’s another article where people share how over door organisers saved them valuable space.

Keep the vanity clutter free
Counter space is usually limited, so it pays to be smart. We’ve found that grouping items together on a tray makes the whole area look tidier. Pairing a durable soap dispenser with a small lidded container for cotton pads or earbuds creates an organised and stylish look. Our bathroom accessory sets help keep the style consistent and avoid mismatched clutter.

Use the space under the sink
The area under the sink often ends up as wasted space. What we’ve found is that pull out drawers or tiered baskets completely change how much you can store down there. If you’re looking for some inspiration, we’ve put together under sink storage ideas that show just how much of a difference this one step can make.
Think beyond the bathroom
Sometimes the best way to keep a small bathroom feeling spacious is by storing less in it. We’ve seen many customers move items like hairdryers or makeup to a slim cabinet in the hallway or bedroom. This lightens the load in the bathroom and makes getting ready less stressful. If you need ideas for your whole home, our home storage range can help. And here’s another article with advice on why moving bulk items out of the bathroom can make mornings easier.

Hang towels smarter
Big towel rails often aren’t practical in small spaces. Instead, we suggest using over the door hooks or a slim towel ladder. These options keep towels off the floor without eating into valuable wall space. Customers tell us it feels like they’ve gained extra square metres just by making this one change.

Choose storage that sticks
We know suction cups can be unreliable in bathrooms. A stronger option is adhesive storage, like our bathroom suction range designed to withstand steam and humidity. These products can be used to hold small baskets, toothbrush holders, or even shavers. They’re perfect if you’re renting and want a solution that doesn’t damage tiles. And if you want some extra advice on getting suction storage to last, here’s another article we’ve written with practical tips.

Style the bathroom like a spa
A small bathroom doesn’t need to feel purely functional. We’ve written about creating a spa feel at home, and the same ideas apply here. Choosing matching accessories, adding a tray on the counter, or even using a small plant can make the bathroom feel relaxing as well as organised. It’s all about those small details that make a big impact.
Don’t forget safety and comfort
Organisation isn’t just about where things go, it’s also about how easy it is to use the space every day. In smaller bathrooms it’s especially important to keep floors dry and safe. Products like non slip mats and grab rails help keep the bathroom practical and safe for the whole family.
