Consider using an un-used space in your house as a place for a vanity station if your small bathroom storage is a challenge.

I lived and struggled with our small bathroom storage issues and struggled for years with the daily routine of getting ready in them. The space was cramped. The vanity wasn’t big enough to hold my blow dryer, curling iron, or makeup cases.

In it, I placed an antique vanity. I was finally able to store all my beauty products neatly in drawers. And, it was fun to sit on its bench and get ready every morning!

  1. These are all great ideas. Our home was built in 1946 and I’m pretty sure they added a small bathroom later on. We are renovating our bathroom right now and I’ve been looking for storage ideas. The baskets on the wall are a great idea!

    1. I know!! It dawned on me finally that the house we grew up in didn’t even have a bathroom in its original build. Out bathroom had been a closet!! No wonder it was SO small!!😂
