Bathroom storage can transform a stressful space into a serene one but finding the right storage for your space is key. Whether its a small bathroom that requires a compact storage unit or a rental that comes with some quirkier bathroom features, almost every bathroom will need a different storage solution. To help you minimise the clutter in your bathroom, we’re taking you through the smartest bathroom storage ideas and our favourite storage products to buy in 2025.
Different types of bathroom storage
Before you select your bathroom storage, its important to consider the benefits of open and closed storage options. Closed storage is a good option for when you need to minimise visual clutter and keep your less desirable items out of sight while open storage offers ease of access for items that you use multiple times a day.
Many of the following options offer both open and closed storage variations:
Bathroom vanity storage: This includes shelving and cabinets under your sink. If you don’t have a vanity then you can buy a separate unit that slots underneath your existing sink.
Mirrored cabinets: Cabinet attached to the wall with a mirrored door. This type of storage saves space by turning two bathroom necessities into one item.
Wall cabinets: Cabinets and cupboards of various sizes that you attach to your wall.
Over the toilet storage: Rarely the most attractive of storage solutions but over the toilet storage can be practical for petite bathrooms.
Freestanding cabinets: If you don’t have adequate built in storage, you’re renting or simple want to make a style statement, a freestanding cabinet can be a good option.
Bathroom trolleys: Space saving choice that can be moved around the room as you need.

Over the toilet storage cabinet
from $288.99, Matt Blatt
Best for: small bathrooms, renters
Over the toilet storage is never going to be the most stylish of storage solutions but if you’re dealing with a tiny rental bathroom then it can be one of the most practical options. In this case, we’d recommend opting for an over the toilet unit in white to help the item blend into your bathroom more seamlessly. Similarly, going for a unit with some closed storage will help minimise some of the visual clutter.

This is a great option for renters or anyone keen on giving their bathroom more of a makeover than an entire renovation.

Dante bathroom storage cart

Best for: compact bathroom storage, powder rooms
Super slim bathroom trolleys can be a practical storage solution for compact spaces but the key is choosing the right one.

Opting for a bathroom trolley that’s made from a more solid material and one that has the option to ‘hide’ your less desirable items will keep your space feeling a little more sophisticated.
