I have lived in a lottt of shared houses. Five home studios. Tiny bathrooms. Weird layouts. No storage. As someone who works from home, trains most days, plays hockey, cooks constantly, and lives with other humans and dogs… bathroom chaos is real.
These are small things that made a HUGE difference for me. Not expensive renovations. Just smart bits that actually work.
SONGMICS Wall Mounted Round Bathroom Mirror
A good mirror changes everything. I used to have those dull, warped ones in rentals. This one is clean, modern, and reflects light properly. In a dark house like mine, that matters. Makes the room feel bigger instantly. Simple upgrade, big impact. Low effort glow up.
Temple Spring Wooden Bath Tray
Okay okay okay I know I said I was minimal… but trays are 👏GAME👏CHAN👏GER. I keep one for skincare, one for electric toothbrush bits. Stops that cluttered sink vibe. Looks intentional instead of chaotic. Easy to wipe. Especially good in shared houses where space is tight.
Under Sink Bathroom Cabinet Floor Storage Shelf
Under sink space is usually a disaster zone. Pipes everywhere, random bottles, cleaning stuff falling over. I added a tiered under sink shelf and suddenly it was organised. Sections. Structure. Calm. Perfect for toiletries, spare loo roll, even cleaning bits. Incredddible difference.
mDesign Metal Over Door Towel Rack
If you do frequent gym sessions like me, towels pile up fast. This over door rack saved wall drilling and doubled my hanging space instantly. Ideal for rentals. I use it for bath towels and gym towels. Air dries properly instead of that damp smell situation.
Umbra Flex Adhesive Shower Caddy
No tools. No drilling. Just stick and done. I was sceptical but this thing holds shampoo, conditioner, body wash no problem. Keeps the bath edge clear which makes cleaning quicker. When you are juggling work, training, cooking, life… that time saved is amazinnngg.
Olly & Rose Storage Baskets
These are my go to for small bathrooms. I use them for spare products, toilet paper, even hair tools. Soft but structured. Makes open shelving look tidy not messy. I have used these in at least three properties now. They just work.
Small bathroom does not have to mean stressful bathroom. I have built studios in cupboards, cooked in tiny kitchens, edited videos in bedrooms. You learn fast that smart storage beats square footage every time.
