Toilet Storage Cupboards

Toilet Storage Ideas

Don’t just consider the space above your toilet, why not think around it too? Combining a toilet unit with a floorstanding cupboard or fitted tall unit creates a cohesive, furniture-led look while dramatically increasing your storage potential. Tall cupboards are perfect for storing bulkier items inside like spare towels, toilet rolls or cleaning supplies, while maintaining a tidy, built-in finish. For a seamless result, choose furniture in the same finish or range to tie the look together.

Over Toilet Shelving

Toilet Storage Ideas

Whether you opt for a minimal floating shelf or a shelf with pretty brackets, shelving offers both over the toilet storage potential and a space to showcase your interior style. To keep items organised, we recommend investing in storage boxes with compartments to sit neatly on your shelving, styled side by side with your favourite decorative objects, a small art print or a small houseplant. A shelf is also a great place for towel storage and toilet rolls, keeping everything nicely within reach.

Over Toilet Hooks & Basket Storage

Toilet Storage Ideas

Easy to install and instantly impactful, make the most of vertical wall space with hooks or wall-mounted baskets above your toilet. Ideal for hanging hand towels, robes or toiletry pouches, hooks offer simple, accessible storage that takes up virtually no space. Woven or wire baskets can also be mounted to the wall and used to hold toilet paper, skincare or even cleaning products—keeping everything neat, tidy and off the floor. For a softer, more decorative touch, opt for natural materials like rattan or seagrass to bring warmth and texture to your bathroom.

Over Toilet Worktops

Toilet Storage Ideas

Worktop space is always in demand in small bathrooms, so why not create more of it? A back-to-wall toilet unit with a fitted worktop not only conceals unsightly pipework and the cistern but also adds a convenient surface for everyday essentials. Style with a candle, hand lotion or reed diffuser to create a calm and curated look. For even more storage, pair with a countertop tray to neatly group smaller items together.
