The bathroom is the most used room in the home and yet it is always the smallest and that is probably why it is a room that easily becomes cluttered and overflowing with stuff that has no place to be stored. Practical storage ideas are aplenty but what about ideas using locally available storage solutions that you can invest in for your own bathroom? Below we offer a few practical storage ideas for a functional bathroom that you can shop for and put to use in your bathroom.
Mobile Bathroom Storage Trolley
Cutting down the clutter in a bathroom is easy if you have access to the right solutions and finding the right one all depends on the size and layout of the bathroom. In many instances, the bathroom won't have much floor space for extra storage and if you are renting a home, you won't be able to install any fittings, but a mobile storage trolley will provide the perfect solution and can be moved around if it gets in the way.
This mobile bathroom storage trolley is available online at takealot.com and retails at R293. It fits into small spaces and provides plenty of storage for bathroom essentials. This unit is available in assorted sizes.
If you prefer to incorporate natural materials such as wood, Leroy Merlin have this 3-shelf wooden trolley for storing towels and toiletries and it retails at R659 (on special now)

Slimline Bathroom Storage Cabinet
Another easy and affordable way to organise a bathroom is to look at a streamlined storage cabinet, one that won't take up too much floor space and still offer enough space to store plenty. A clever way to incorporate more storage into a bathroom without losing valuable floor space is with a vertical cabinet. A tall, narrow cabinet with a mirrored door also provides a practical mirror that you can put to good use for grooming.
Available from Makro, Leroy Merlin and Takealot.com and priced from around R1 642, this vertical mirrored bathroom storage cabinet has 6 individual shelves to provide storage for bathroom essentials. Great for storing towels, bathroom accessories and essentials. Available in black, mahogany, and white cabinet finish.
Space-Saving Bathroom Storage Shelf
In a cramped or compact bathroom that has no space available for a storage unit, using the space above the toilet is the most practical way to go. There are all types of storage shelves that are designed to fit above a toilet, or other appliance, and these won't take up any additional space in the room. These units are specifically designed to slip over a toilet to provide a free-standing storage solution.
This multifunctional bathroom storage shelf from Takealot.com or onedayonly.co.za retails at around R520. There are various other designs available at lower cost.
Corner Storage for Bathroom
Corners are another area in a bathroom that are under-utilised and buying a storage shelf or unit that fits into a corner is a great way of saving space.
This bamboo corner shelf unit costs around R700 and is available at Mr Price Home.
