Gaps Rolling slim carts

Go vertical

  1. Fit floating shelves to free up floor space.
  2. Add an over-the-toilet cabinet.
  3. Use a tall, narrow storage tower.
  4. Install corner shelves in dead space.

Hide clutter

  1. Choose a vanity with drawers instead of doors.
  2. Add drawer dividers for small items.
  3. Pick a deeper medicine cabinet.
  4. Use lidded baskets for spares.

Flexible extras

  1. Slide in a rolling cart beside the toilet or sink.
  2. Hang hooks and a peg rail for towels and robes.
  3. Use the back of the door for an over-door organiser.
  4. Hang storage baskets on the wall.

Tip: Fix shelves and cabinets into studs or with proper wall anchors, especially above the toilet where they could fall. Keep cleaning products and medicines in a high or locked cabinet if children visit, and never store them in open baskets.
