1. A rustic bathroom shelf for adding some earthy tones to your all-white bathroom, while keeping that counter of yours free from clutter.
Each one can hold up to 40 pounds and has a detachable towel bar.
Promising review: "I wanted to add a few low profile shelves to our master bathroom and these were the perfect fit for the side wall! They allow us to remove clutter like electric toothbrushes and items too tall for the drawers from the sink. It's a nice look also." —Jay Rob
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in seven colors).
Psst — we also have these helpful things for home storage.
2. A two-pack of sticky adhesive bathroom shelves, that are renter-friendly AND will spare your precious wall from gaining *another* hole.
Comes with two mounting methods: sticky adhesive or screws.
Promising review: "I didn’t have much hope for this product due to my placement of them: right by the shower door. I figured the steam would cause the sticker to come off, resulting in the shelves collapsing (aside from me also putting heavy perfume bottles on them). BUT they actually hold up a good amount of weight and the shelves are still sturdy. I love it!" —Balsam
Get it from Amazon from $25.49+ (available in two styles).
BTW we also have these things to take your bathroom to the next level.
3. A brass and glass bathroom shelf to give you a ~hand~ with holding those extra toiletries you couldn't stuff into your medicine cabinet.
Promising review: "I'm obsessed with this shelf! The hand detail is so fun and trendy without being something that will go out of style anytime soon, while the glass shelf helps to make it not too overwhelming or distracting. I used it in my bathroom and have had no issues with it, so far. Plus, it helps add storage to my small bathroom without taking up a ton of room. Would recommend to anyone, and if I had the room, I would have gotten two!" —Mac5
Get it from Anthropologie for $58+ (available in three sizes).
4. A three-tier bathroom wall shelf for storing extra rolls of TP, so you don't have that "Oh 💩" moment when you notice there's no toilet paper on the roll.
Promising review: "These little shelves are great! With three kids our bathroom counter got very cluttered, but these shelves saved the day. Each of my kids now have their own little bins on the shelf. Because they're small enough, I could put two of them on one wall, and then one on another wall. I recommend having a stubby screwdriver handy because when you are trying to screw the screws in for the shelves, there's not enough room between them for a full size screwdriver. They seem very sturdy for what they are and they work perfectly!" —KeWEE
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors).
5. An anti-slip bamboo bathroom shelf compact enough to squeeze into your tiny bathroom, but still spacious enough to hold your *entire* bath towel collection.
Promising review: "I have a nook in the corner of my tiny bathroom that is exactly the width and depth of this shelving unit. I have had it for over two years and it is still standing. I like how minimalist it looks and how it has three shelves for storing towels and toiletries — it was incredibly easy to assemble as well. Very happy with this purchase." —JN
Get it from Amazon for $48.99+ (available in three colors).
6. A handmade washtub bathroom shelf *so* spacious while giving off total farmhouse chic vibes for you to hoard your extra soaps and knick-knacks in an organized fashion.

7. A Tai Chi-inspired circular mesh shelf because even your bathroom deserves a little ~extra something~ to make it more zen — and less like a place to get down to business.

Promising review: "I love this shelf! I bought one for my bathroom and ended up buying three more for other areas of my house. It’s easy to install and such a pretty decorative piece!" —Amazon Customer

Comes fully assembled with the towel bar separated, so you can install it according to your needs.
Promising review: "Sleek modern design that's sturdy and very functional. I like how it has a towel rack and a lip to prevent things falling off without looking bulky. The gold is muted, but looks classy and cool without being too loud. Matching hardware and a set of S hooks are included, but I did not use them." —expression
Get it from Amazon for $21.74+ (available in three colors).
9. A pipe and wood bathroom shelf ideal for bringing in a more vintage vibe, so you can transport yourself back to the Industrial Revolution — even if it's just for the two minutes it takes for you to brush your teeth.

Promising review: "I live in a 640 square ft house, so every inch of vertical space is precious. This solved my lack of a linen closet. It's not the typical tiny shelves that hold a plant and maybe a tissue box, this one is large and sturdy if you put it together right, and use the wall anchors. It's pretty, especially in a country cottage." —Mary Clark
Get it from Amazon for $73.99.
11. A marble wall-mounted bathroom shelf to add hotel-worthy notes of luxury and elegance even your parents will be jealous of.
Promising review: "I love this shelf. It is so solid and the marble slab is beautiful. I put it above our wall-mounted toilet in our remodeled master bath, and it really adds to the luxurious European hotel feel — and provides some much needed storage in our very small bathroom. Due to the placement of our wall studs, one bracket is in a stud and the other is not, so we used the anchor provided. It feels very sturdy and it doesn't seem like it will fall or grow wobbly over time. It looks like I spent a lot more on this shelf than I did! I love it." —Bethany
Get it from CB2 for $69.95.

It's quite lightweight and feels a little wobbly when it's empty and you move it, but I've had no problem with it once I put towels, etc., on the shelves. The chrome is also very shiny and adds a touch of elegance to my tiny bathroom." —Peggy Soden

It's versatile and made of natural wood, so it wont disintegrate in your bathroom like other cheap stuff. Easy to install, with smart adjustable holder brackets that you can fix in all directions — including an incline for the shelf.

It’s doing very well in the bathroom considering the amount of moisture it is exposed to (it's been up for three months and still looks brand new). The instructions are very simple and easy to follow — it took me about 30 minutes to have it completely assembled. Plus, it's a terrific price!" —Barby4321
