Tips for designing a small bathroom

Designing a small bathroom can be challenging, but with thoughtful solutions like wall shelves, you can maximize every available inch while creating a functional and stylish space. Here are some tips for transforming a cramped bathroom into an organized and aesthetically pleasing space with wall shelves.

1. Use walls to free up floor space

In a small bathroom, every inch counts. Installing wall shelves frees up floor space and creates vertical storage areas.
- Above the sink: A wall shelf above the sink is ideal for storing toiletries you use every day, such as soap, toothpaste or your creams.
- Around the mirror: Add narrow shelves on either side of the mirror to organize small accessories and avoid clutter.
- Above the door: A high shelf, near the ceiling, can accommodate items you use less frequently, such as spare towels or stock products.



2. Choose shelves that fit your space

Wall shelves should be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Stainless aluminum models, like the Mamik shelves, are perfect for a small bathroom thanks to their compact and sleek design.

- Modern and harmonious shades: Opt for elegant colors like black, cream white or majorette blue to match your shelves to the rest of the decor.
- Moisture resistance: Materials such as stainless aluminum ensure a long service life in a humid environment.



3. Install shelves in strategic locations

To optimize space, install your shelves in often neglected areas:
- In the shower: Waterproof wall shelves, such as those with 3M adhesive mounting, are perfect for storing shampoos, shower gels and accessories.
- Above the toilet: A small shelf above the toilet can store toilet paper rolls or cleaning products.
- In corners: Use corner shelves to exploit unused spaces and create practical and discreet storage.

4. Prefer adhesive fasteners to avoid drilling

In a small bathroom, it's often best to avoid drilling into the walls to avoid damaging the tiles or partitions. Wall-mounted shelves with adhesive mounts are a great alternative:
- Tool-free installation: The included 3M adhesive strips allow for quick and easy installation.
- Durable fixing: Resistant to water and heavy loads, these fixings guarantee perfect stability for your shower products.
- No residue after removal: Modern adhesives leave no residue, which is ideal for renters or if you like to rearrange your space.
