Every bathroom needs a good set of shelves to store all these fundamentals, but you don’t have to empty your piggy bank for them. Try your hand at one of these DIY bathroom shelves that will increase the storage space in your bathroom.

25. Hanging Baskets for the Bathroom

Smaller bathrooms can be difficult to fit additional storage into since they’re already limited in available space. These mounted storage baskets are useful as a minimalist shelving unit for keeping light toiletries or decorations like small potted plants.

Adding a wooden insert in the bottom of the shelves can even allow you to store smaller items without having to worry about them slipping through the wire. (via A Beautiful Mess)

Bathrooms might typically be one of the smallest rooms in the house, but they’re also a hub of clutter in most homes. From toothbrushes to toilet paper, there’s no shortage of things that need to stay in the bathroom full-time to be useful. The fact that most people have their own personalized toiletries that they all keep together in the same bathroom can make things even more chaotic. Without plenty of storage, these items end up sprawled all over the bathroom counter and make it much harder for people in the home to use the space efficiently. Increasing your vertical storage by adding bathroom shelves on bare walls can help make up for the lack of floor space in your bathroom. Making these shelves yourself can also help you add a personalized touch to your space that everyone who visits your bathroom will appreciate.
