Between toiletries, medications, cleaning supplies and decor, it’s easy for a small bathroom to appear cluttered. And, if you don’t have the right storage solution, that clutter can turn into a disorganized, unsightly mess.

Whether you’re redecorating the powder room or outfitting your master bath, proper storage will transform your bathroom into a neat, aesthetically-pleasing space. From wall-mounted medicine cabinets to freestanding and behind-the-door units, we narrowed down the top picks for conserving space in the bathroom.

Bathroom storage cabinets come in three varieties: wall-mounted, freestanding, and behind-the-door. Technically, some vanities have cabinet storage, but we’ll consider those a different kind of furniture.

Think about how you’d like to store and organize your bathroom items. Open shelving and cubby holes let you display bathroom decor, fancy soaps, scented candles and the like. Open storage also gives you easy access to your most-used toiletries and bathroom accessories; depending on the size, they’re also convenient for storing towels you can grab after coming out of the tub or shower.

Drawers are better for storing less aesthetically-pleasing items and things you don’t need daily, such as extra toilet paper and bathroom cleaner. Medicine cabinets are similarly helpful for storing bathroom items discreetly.

High-quality bathroom cabinets with mirrors are typically built with corrosion-resistant, anodized aluminum and tempered glass, which is less likely to shatter. Mirrorless cabinets made of metal are the most durable, though wood cabinets are more popular. Kiln-dried hardwoods are the strongest options, while engineered wood is comparatively sturdy and costs significantly less.
