Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

Small bathrooms never seem to have enough storage space (and even some large bathrooms are ill-equipped in this department). You can clutter up the floors with freestanding units, or you could mount shelves on the walls that stick out so you bump into them every time you turn around, but those options aren’t always appealing (okay, bumping into things is never appealing).

As an alternative, you could make use of otherwise wasted between-the-studs space.

It’s a relatively simple and inexpensive home improvement to install some shelves or a storage cubby in between the studs in the walls.

While you’re not going to put your whole linen closet in such a space, you could tuck in a stack of magazines (hey, half of us use the bathroom as a library anyway), lotions, bath towels, tissue boxes, extra T.P. rolls, and other essentials.
