Clever solutions can be used to create additional space in any bathroom for towels, cosmetics and care products.
From wall cabinets with plenty of storage space and practical organisers to an elegant, minimalist walk-in shower: there are many options to make your bathroom functional, practical and stylish at the same time. We have collected ideas and inspiration on how you can use the available space effectively. Goodbye chaos!
Find the perfect solutions for your bathroom and create more storage space in the bathroom with smart functions – no matter if your bathroom is big or small.
Six ideas for more storage space in the bathroom
Clever ideas to make your bathroom more functional and to create a relaxed, tidy, feel-good space in your home.
These are our six tips and ideas for more storage space in the bathroom:
1. Install a washbasin cabinet
Don’t leave the space under the washbasin unused! A cabinet under the washbasin can create additional storage space very easily, especially in small bathrooms. Towels, toilet paper, hairdryers, shaving utensils and cosmetics can be stored quickly and neatly in the cabinet beneath the basin.
Washbasin cabinets are available with open shelves or drawers. The Geberit ONE, Geberit iCon and Geberit VariForm bathroom series have space-saving drain technology that replaces the conventional trap cutout in the washbasin cabinet – while also providing more depth in the drawer and therefore more storage space.
2. Mirror cabinet with storage space
A mirror cabinet is the perfect solution for more storage space in the bathroom. In small bathrooms in particular, a mirror cabinet visually enlarges the room – and provides valuable shelf space for toothbrushes, cosmetics, care products and everyday essentials without taking up additional space.
A mirror cabinet elegantly integrated into the wall offers even more storage space in a small area than a model mounted on the wall. In any case, a mirror cabinet is a real all-rounder.
Mirror cabinets from the Geberit ONE bathroom series are available with two or three mirrored doors. In addition to practical storage space inside, they glow with the clever lighting concept, Geberit ComfortLight.
In addition to the light at the washbasin area, the mirror cabinet can be used to control other light sources in the room: the ideal solution for harmonious bathroom lighting.
Clever functions and products that create space – for those who don’t want to compromise on functionality or storage space.
But who even has enough space in their whole house, never mind in their bathroom? For the vast majority of people, the bathroom is hardly a spacious room. When it comes to designing a new bathroom, people often have high ambitions, and so they should! But the reality often looks somewhat different. Most people require space-saving solutions that are both functional and look good, particularly in the guest WC. That’s why we are developing products that maximise the available space, creating more room for storage.
Better bathrooms, better lives
3. Storage boxes & organisation systems
What’s inside matters too! Bathroom essentials can be neatly stowed away in storage boxes and organisers in the drawer. For the Geberit ONE, Geberit Acanto and Geberit iCon bathroom series, there is a modular organisation system with bamboo- and lava-coloured insert compartments. The modular sets are optimised for every drawer width and are available as options.
A special extra for your bathroom design The magnetic board with minimalist storage boxes from Geberit ensures that bathroom products are always to hand.
4. Tall cabinets and bathroom shelves create space
A tall cabinet or high-level cabinet creates additional storage space in the bathroom without taking up too much space. Perfect for towels, care products and bathroom essentials, it ensures good organisation and a tidy look. This marvellous space-saver can be installed on the wall above the WC, next to the washbasin or in niches.
Whether you are looking for bathroom furniture in wood, a cabinet in black matt or trendy lava, or you prefer light shades, make sure the products are made of high-quality materials with excellent workmanship and timeless elegance, so you can enjoy your bathroom furnishings for many years to come.
5. Walk-in shower: space-saving and modern
A walk-in shower combines minimalist design with space-saving elegance. Thanks to the open-plan design, the bathroom appears larger and airier, while the shower’s barrier-free access ensures comfort.
Three arguments in favour of a floor-even shower:
- Airy feeling of space: Transparent glass surfaces make the bathroom appear more open and larger.
- Space-saving design: perfect for bathroom niches or tight spaces, and customisable to the size of the room.
- Easy to clean: fewer joints, no doors or handles – for minimal cleaning effort.
6. Hooks for better organisation
Small feature, big impact – and cost-effective too: hooks are a simple but effective solution for creating more storage space, even in a small bathroom.
Whether on the wall, behind the door or in the bathroom cabinet – they keep towels, bathrobes or even nail scissors within easy reach without taking up valuable shelf space.
And another tip for the storage of small items: A magnetic strip or storage boxes keep scissors, nail clippers, hair clips or tweezers within easy reach.

Frequently asked questions about storage space in the bathroom
How do I make optimum use of the space under the washbasin?
A washbasin cabinet with drawers or doors makes efficient use of the space under the basin and creates additional storage space. Wall-hung cabinets make cleaning the floor easier and give the bathroom a more spacious appearance. It is important to choose high-quality materials to ensure a long service life in the humid environment of a bathroom. Washbasin cabinets from Geberit are available in numerous designs for bathrooms big and small.
For instance, the Geberit Mix & Match bathroom vanities offers many options for combining the washbasin and the washbasin cabinet in a stylish way to suit your personal taste.
What storage solutions are available for the shower?
For tidier organisation in the shower, there are integrated storage solutions such as the niche storage box from Geberit. It is mounted surface-even thanks to prewall installation and offers space for numerous items on two shelves. Without additional shelving, the shower looks tidier and can be cleaned more quickly. The Geberit niche storage box is available in various designs and is easy to install in a bathroom renovation or new build.
How can I create tidy storage in a small bathroom?
If there is no space for an additional bathroom cabinet in a small bathroom, a compact, wall-mounted washbasin cabinet creates valuable storage space. The Geberit iCon and ONE bathroom series offer vanity units with a shallow depth.
Unused niches can be used as shelf space, and hook strips on the door create space for towels. In an existing mirror cabinet, you may be able to organise the storage space even better with additional shelves or new subdivisions.
