The bathroom is a smaller space and you want to make the most of every change made. This includes your bathroom vanity. It can easily become the main attraction of your bathroom, which means you want to get it right in the first place.

But how do you choose a bathroom vanity that not only looks great, but also checks off everything on your list of needs? If you have multiple people using a small bathroom vanity every day, it's important to reduce clutter and find creative ways to get more storage space.

Vanity Location

The location of your vanity is very important for small bathrooms. Many homeowners prefer to place their vanity on a wall or in a corner. This is ideal because it doesn't leave any additional gaps that could create wasted space in the room. With a vanity in the corner of the bathroom, you can place a main mirror and a side mirror on two walls in the corner.


Wall-mounted vanities

These don't take up as much space as a completely freestanding vanity. Many homeowners with small bathrooms like wall-mounted vanities because it opens up the view of the floor space. Sometimes this makes the room look much larger than it actually is.

Get a closet

Clutter can quickly pile up in a small bathroom. This is even more likely if you have a lot of people living in the house and all sharing the same bathroom. A linen closet allows you to store everything inside, hidden from view.


Buy a medicine cabinet

A medicine cabinet is a very practical and aesthetically pleasing way to maximize the space in your small bathroom vanity.

The reason for this is that it provides another function for your bathroom mirror. Having a medicine cabinet allows you to hide all your small bathroom items like floss, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and maybe first aid supplies behind the mirror.


Install a large mirror

Having a large bathroom mirror may create the illusion of a larger bathroom. Having a larger mirror also makes it more suitable for everyday use.

Use your walls

Think creatively. You don't have to limit yourself to simply adding more cabinets for storage. Installing towel racks, shelves and wall-mounted cabinets near your bathroom vanity are all great ways to free up walking space in your bathroom.


Clear your countertop

It may not seem as obvious, but removing many items will not only make your bathroom look cleaner, but it may make your day better when you walk in in the morning.

Mix and match

Depending on the space and what you're storing, some compromises may need to be made. For example, you may not be able to fit three rows of drawers and sink plumbing space in the available space. You may need to mix and match.

Drawers and cabinet doors take up different spaces. The drawers will extend forward and the doors will swing outward. Depending on the location and layout of the bathroom, one may work better than the other. Whichever style you go with, we have some organizational tools that will give you the most storage space and the least amount of problems.
