Bathroom storage
I have got a beautiful bathroom but have problems with the storage. I have no idea how to fix this. The bathroom has recently been remodeled, and everything is new in there, but halfway through I just somehow got lost in terms of storage. Can you help please. The problem is the green plastic shelf and the area under the sink, which is good for storage but it shows ...
Any advice is appreciated Thank you

bibi306 try some open shelves attched to the wall. the use of baskets can hide some of your items.

Senada Velic Thank you very much. Is there a photo or something that I could actually see before I start doing anything. Thanks so much

Senada Velic Thanks for the tiles, they were quite cheap. I bet they don't cost that much at wherever you are :-)

ATGStores.com Hi, Senada! We can't tell, but we're wondering if you have a plain mirror or a medicine cabinet? You may be able to create more storage with a simple medicine cabinet that has shallower depth (http://www.atgstores.com/301-5-medicine-cabinets_1143.html?&option0=optionA=257509|18433~Valu) so it doesn't protrude too far from the wall. You may also want to try a tension rod shower caddy that gives you more shelf space in that back corner. We hope these little changes can help give you a bigger bathroom!

bibi306 something like these can give you some great storage. if you like to have doors you can do something that slides.

lalalelu It looks like you have some dead space over the toilet where you could hang a shelf or shallow cabinet. In the corner where the green plastic baskets are on the table I would replace that with a linen storage tower, but it's hard to tell what those metal fixtures are on the wall (?)

Alison Finch I think some pine shelves painted white with white wicker baskets, follow a driftwood/nautical theme, that will bring it all together nicely.

bdennison Over-the-door storage is a good option. They are inexpensive and come in alot of finishes. These white baskets are cute.

Senada Velic That's not a table it's a washing machine covered up :-) The metal fixtures are pipes from an electric water heater. I must say I quite like the idea of the wicker basket and additional shelves.
I have a simple mirror which I installed in order to maintain a sense of space in a small bathroom, although I had originally planned to go with a medicine cabinet, which I even bought. It's in my basement :-) but it's tough now to decide the cabinet or space ...
You have all been a great help
Thank you very very much

CW Inc. Wine storage for Towels, either hang on the wall, or get small ones to fit under sink

litehearted the rotatable curved shower rod is cool, but would require the shower stall to be inset between two walls...in your case, the shower rod is suspended from the ceiling ~ so you have to keep your cute shower curtain, or install glass, no other choice. you can always hire a joiner to build shallow cabinets above the toilet, along the wall above the radiator, and a tall (from washer to ceiling) & deep cabinet above the washer...the shallow shelving can house toiletries, whilst the deeper shelving can act as a linen closet...I personally don't like to see a lot of clutter, so sliding doors or curtains to keep it hidden would suit me fine...less clutter appears more spacious and calming...paint (including pipes/rad) a colour slightly lighter than your wall tiles and the room will appear more cohesive as well...keep the curtain 'tho, it's nice
