Optimising storage in small bathrooms
With the right furniture and a strategic approach, you can transform even the smallest bathrooms into stylish, functional spaces.
Small bathrooms present many storage and organisation challenges. Despite limited space, it's important that functionality and aesthetics are not compromised. So free up space, make the most of every nook and cranny, and discover the resources available to help you make the most of this important area of your home.
Column modules are very versatile and have great capacity to hide larger objects from view. They adapt to recesses and small walls and are a valuable aesthetic resource. The Extra modules are available in a wide range of finishes. You can combine them with other furniture in the same colour or create contrasting sets. With the Delta column, you can give the bathroom a different touch and display the most beautiful bottles of perfume on the open shelf.
Classifying, grouping, sorting
Baskets, boxes and trays are great for sorting and organising. Use them to store everyday items, like towels, toilet paper and toiletries.
To complete the sense of order, keep the basin countertop uncluttered. Consider installing a small shelf about six inches above the basin to hold the soap dish, toothbrush, and glass.
Maximising storage in small bathrooms requires a strategic and creative approach. With these guidelines and a little ingenuity, even the smallest bathroom can become a functional, comfortable and enjoyable space in the home.
Compact bathroom furniture
Compact and multifunctional furniture is a great way to help organise a small bathroom. Despite their small size, these models offer enough space to meet all your needs.
The base unit with washbasin, side hangers and open shelf from the Mini range is complemented by a mirrored cabinet, forming a set with multiple storage options. Unik from the Tura collection is a super-compact cabinet with door, side shelf and basin, while Ona is another collection that offers elegant and versatile ultra-compact furniture for all styles.

Organiser boxes are ideal for quick access to smaller items, such as make-up, plasters or razor blades. The Ona collection’s trays and containers, in turn, help group items by category and are also decorative.
Baskets are also great for storing electrical appliances such as hairdryers, shavers and razors. Made from recycled felt and cork, the Tura organisers have compartments and great depth, and make for an attractive display on open shelving.
For optimum organisation, sort items by use, such as products shared by the family, and allocate a specific place for each. Don't forget to throw away unused items to keep the space tidy and uncluttered.

Overhead storage
In small rooms, every centimetre counts, so use the height to your advantage. Even if your bathroom is small, make the most of any corner to add an auxiliary cabinet. A column next to the door, a glass shelf, or even a steel shelf inside the shower can make a big difference. Auxiliary furniture, such as shelves or cabinets suspended over the toilet, provide storage in a space that is usually wasted.
Accessories that make a difference
Bathroom accessories help keep things tidy by giving everything a place and making it easier to find. Use the walls to declutter. The Hotels and Tempo accessories collections include wall-hung pieces. This means that toilet brush holders do not take up floor space, and brush holders, soap dishes and wall dispensers are off the porcelain of the basin, making them easier to clean.
Strategically position hooks and bars to hang towels, containers, and even baskets with hairbrushes. A side towel rack is a smart way to avoid taking up extra wall space.
