Bathroom storage solutions: Creative ways to organise your essentials

A well-organised home not only maximises your sense of space, convenience and comfort, but it can also create the ideal ambience for rest and rejuvenation. To help you keep the clutter to a minimum, luxury lifestyle and homeware brand, Lusso shares a selection of top storage solutions and design tips that can clear your mind and your bathroom.

Styled shelving

In addition to providing much-needed storage, open shelves can double up as decor, allowing you to easily add design flair to any space and quickly refresh the look simply by restyling them. Opt for wall-hung designs to keep your floor clear, such as a slimline towel shelf that will fit snugly beneath basins or within alcoves. Or go for something like a wallhung storage box for a minimalist luxury finish.

When dressing shelves, avoid overloading ledges with products and accessories – think curated rather than crammed. Heavy or large items should be kept on lower levels, and contrasting textures and colours can help to add visual interest. The interior design ‘rule of three’ is also an effective guideline to follow, as arranging items in odd numbers usually helps shelving to appear more aesthetically pleasing and well balanced.

Concealed clutter

Providing the perfect foundation for basins along with hidden storage, vanity units are ideal for bathrooms of almost any size and shape. Elegant, floating designs work best where space is at a premium; however, for more generously-sized areas, you can choose larger floorstanding pieces to make a statement.

To further optimise the storage space within vanity units, add internal organiser boxes and accessories to successfully store away cosmetics and washing essentials, such as flannels, shampoo and soaps.

“With the rising popularity of minimalist bathrooms, the need for subtle storage is becoming more prevalent,” explains Cameron Lowe, Product Manager at Lusso. “Not everyone has the capacity in their home for a storage cupboard, so a compact vanity unit with dedicated concealed storage beneath is ideal.”

Visible vanity

Although concealed storage is often preferred, this doesn’t mean that visible storage should be ruled out. Having your vanity products visible, as long as it’s done neatly, can often enhance your space while giving insight into your specific style and taste. By having select cosmetics and perfumes on display, you’re not only adding easier access to your daily products, but you’re adding personal style to your bathroom. Visible vanity styling is popular within larger spaces, particularly in larger bathrooms and master suites. Items such as beauty cabinets work perfectly as it’s exactly what they’re designed for. These practical pieces often contain the best of both storage options – concealed and exposed compartments – and make the perfect counterpart to vanity units that share a similar or matching style.

Everything at hand

Being able to easily find items at any given moment is also key when creating organised living spaces, which means storage accessories are essential for most bathrooms. Small but highly-functional pieces, including shower baskets, towel shelves and bath caddies, ensure that the toiletries or linens that you need are neatly displayed and always to hand. By opting for accessories with a cohesive luxury finish, such as brushed gold or matte black, you can also use them to quickly bring together the entire look and feel of a bathroom.
