Popular opinion dictates that when it comes to decorating a bathroom there are usually not too many different options available as far as furniture is concerned - and for small bathrooms, the situation is considered to be even worse. Most typical bathrooms will contain a toilet, a shower or a bath or combination of both, a sink with a mirror, and usually a shelf or two for soaps, hair care products, and also to store towels. Many people may not think too much about furniture because they believe that their bathrooms are too small to accommodate anything else. But don't despair if you've got the small bathroom blues, there are some storage solutions that even the smallest rooms can make room for.

Shelves over the toilet are a great space saving bathroom furniture item that many people have added over the years. These handy shelves can provide you with an abundance of extra space to store things away without taking up any extra room. These shelves sit alongside the wall that the toilet is on and the bottom shelf is raised up just enough so that the entire thing can sit over the toilet, up and out of the way. You can find these shelves in various heights and sizes as well as in a variety of decorative designs. And they are also available in very affordable versions, as well as luxury types so you can find the right toilet shelf to suit your budget and your home d?cor.

Other helpful furniture items that you can purchase which will help you to conserve space include clothes hampers and towel racks. You can find stand up clothes hampers that are taller than they are wide, which will help you to save space in a confined bathroom area. Hampers are ideal for those who tend to leave their old clothing lying around on the floor! Hampers provide them with a convenient and tidy solution. A towel rack that can be hung on the wall is a great way to store extra towels for when you need to take a shower, and placing the rack on the wall near the will give you extra storage in a room with limited space. Just like the over-the-toilet shelves, these items can also be found in various sizes and made out of many different types of materials so that they can vary in price depending on the durability of the product.

You do not always have to look for bathroom furniture solutions in the bath section of your local department or home improvement store. You can also find some helpful solutions that are meant for other rooms in your home as well. Small wooden or metal shelves with built-in hooks that are typically used in a living room to hang up coats or keys are perfect to hang in the bathroom as well. The small shelf space provides you with an area that can hold one or two bottles of soap or shampoo while the hooks are an ideal spot to hang your robe, bath towel or haircare accessories such as a hair dryer or straighteners.

Many people feel that their bathroom is too small for any furniture. However, there are many bathroom furniture items that look attractive and can help people to make the most of a confined space.
