FUN FACT: The average space between wall studs is 16 inches. You can do whatever you like with those extra inches, but the best thing you can do is build a small recessed cabinet for bonus bathroom storage.

2. Attach baskets to the wall

As discovered through this DIY project by A Beautiful Mess, wire baskets do not need to sit on your floors or in your closets. In fact, for toilet paper and towels, they can make quite excellent floating shelves. To anchor them in place, you just need a few screws, drywall anchors, and washers. Oh, and a drill might help as well.
3. Or hang up a “basket wall”

“Wall of baskets” sounds like a project that might eat up your free-time, but this idea is very easy. First, hang two towel bars in parallel. Then cut some ribbon and thread it through your baskets, tying it to the bars that are secured. Finally, take whatever crowd supplies of your bathrooms cabinets and store them in your four new mini storage devices.
4. Take a bucket tower together

The bathroom storage hack is made of glamor so that the buckets are actually some pretty pastels with IKEA FINTORP. Once you’ve purchased those, just knot an all-purpose clothesline on the sides so every bucket has about eight inches.
When you get to the last bucket, double-knot your clothesline and cut off the excess portion. Then hang the completed bathroom storage solution from a easy hook on your wall or door and throw in your hair straightener, hairspray, brushes of makeup, brushes of hair and other beauty equipment.
5. DIY an organizer of hair tools

File organizers and PVC pipes can produce excellent holsters for hair straightener. Janel from Nellie Bellie with her DIY hair tool organizer has another great solution for excessive hair tools. It is essentially a vertical wood board with aluminum slots, but with brightly colored duct tape you can also customize this one.
6. Invest in a wrap-around shelf for your pedestal sink

Pedestal sinks look great, but barely enough room to store a soap bar.
To help your sink live up to its full potential, pick up a curved organizer like this tiered rolling organizer from Bed, Bath & Beyond or this custom-cut cabinet from Improvements.

9. Convert bottle caps to holders of toothbrush

10. Install an IKEA photo box above your sink

As HouseBeautiful mention, IKEA’s slender picture ledge can contain more than framed photos. Store your favorite perfume or cologne, hand soap and lotion, scented candle and hair products on top, add one right between your bathroom mirror and sink.
It seems that the creator of this bathroom storage hack, Yasam Stil, went with MOSSLANDA from IKEA, but feel free to shop the entire picture ledge collection from the store.
11. Install a split box above the sink

Take a cue from Itsy Bits and Pieces and spring for a more substantial slotted box if the picture ledge is too slim for your bathroom storage needs.
12. Make a board for magnetic makeup storage

Cosmetics can easily dominate your entire medicine cabinet. But thanks to Allie Grace’s guidance, you can quickly dominate DIY-ing a magnetic make-up storage board with just an existing picture frame, a sheet of metal, fabric of your choice, and a few other popular supplies that you likely already have at home.
13. Place a second shower rod in your shower

Don’t have any shampoo ledge space? You suddenly got storage space for loofahs, caddies, and even shower caps by installing another tension rod inside your shower and then adding hooks.
14. Build a shelf in the wall of your shower

If you’re not worried to get down with a circular saw, it’s a very achievable objective to carve out a recessed shelf in your shower to store soap and other toiletries. Here is a handy Apartment Therapy visual guide.
15. Suction cup body wash, shampoo, conditioner and shaving cream on the wall of your shower

This one can be the cheapest and easiest of all the DIY bathroom hacks on this list. All you need to do is:
- Lace hair ties through suction cups and around them.
- Put the suction cups on the wall of your shower.
- Slide through the hair ties with your shaving cream, body wash, shampoo and conditioner.
Clearly, for a reason, it’s called a “dollar shop craft.”
16. DIY and attach a razor holster to your caddy.

If your razor slips off your shower caddy, lies on the floor and threatens your feet, don’t you just hate it? Here’s how to provide a designated and safe storage spot for your razor:
- Cut a 1-inch-diameter PVC pipe piece into a 3-inch-long piece.
- Cut two ⅛-inch wide notches into the pipe.

19. Or you can store your own bathroom supply

Don’t own a cake stand? With two plates and a candlestick, you can quickly DIY one.
20. At the back of your bathroom door, install multiple towel racks

After hanging a towel rack over their door, some people tap or stick two hooks. But what if you need at least five towels to hang up? Be like Martha Stewart, who is maximizing storage space with a towel bar trio on a bathroom door.
21. Upgrade an old drawer into a mini storage unit mounted on the wall

A drawer from a discarded dresser can be a perfect bathroom shelving unit. Clean it up and it might look like this perfect example on Pinterest pretty soon.

If your medicine cabinet just doesn’t work for you, regardless of how many StickOnPods you’re using, consider upgrading to this Shanty 2 Chic mirror storage case.
It gives you a full-length mirror (which saves you time getting ready in the morning as you don’t have to run back to your bedroom to check all your outfit) plus a ton of storage shelves. And it looks catalog-ready with the right wood stain.
23. Store body wash, face scrub, shampoo, conditioner, etc.

Do you have a ton of bath products that can’t seem to find a home, even though you already know how to organize everything in your apartment? Solve that by hanging on the inside of your shower curtain a plastic shoe organizer. If you feel the traditional 24 bags are a lot, you can find a smaller Camping World organizer with only six bags.

This hack for bathroom storage is so genius yet obvious that you’re going to beat you mad Ki Nassauer to the punch. You will need two wooden hangers and two dowels for this towel rack.
First, the dowels are anchored to the wall. Then screw the hangers into the dowels — make sure they’re upside down — and you’re all set.
Now you can hang your big towels from the inverted hooks of the hangers and from the flat bases of the hangers on top of your hand towels. Genius? Yep.
29. Introduce your bathroom counter to a Lazy Susan

A Lazy Susan is a great place to store the grooming products that you use every day, provided you have enough counter space for it. And since they’re all on one revolving booth together, you’ve just got back the time you sometimes waste through your cabinets in the morning rifling.
Pick up a Cosmetic Organizing Carousel from Nifty Home Products for even more space-spacing counter power. It’s like a steroid Lazy Susan, but without the hazardous side effects.
30. Put under your sink an expandable organizer

A two-tiered organizer like this from the Container Store easily fits around your pipes thanks to its sliding shelves, and it gives you an extra adjustable shelf to store cleaning supplies and sponges for your bathroom.
31. DIY corner shelves and put them in, yep, a corner

They may be tiny, but in a tight bathroom, corner racks may go a long way. Think of repurposing ancient shutters for added flair. (Pinterest has some metrics about this.)

For anyone who saves plastic bags and utilizes them to line up his / her trash can, this is one of the finest bathroom organization. Instead of allowing the bags to scatter and overtake the space under your sink, put them all together in a recycled box of tissue. Not only does it keep them organized, it also provides one fresh bag at a moment.
The bonus points to connect to the bathroom environment, as did Polished Habitat Melissa George with one of her cabinets:
