You may not have a bathroom this expansive, but you may have a front entrance that could use a seat and storage for shoes, hats, gloves, backpacks - whatever.
Toy boxes are everywhere. They can be painted (even plastic ones) to match your decor and repurposed to meet your seating and storage needs.
This post also links to an easy drawstring bag sewing tutorial that you can use to make a laundry bag.

    Nice "upcycle" When I built the custom cabinets for my master bath I incorporated a "laundry" storage area. It is about 25" deep and 30" high and is bellow the linen storage area. It is built with Australian Lacewood, here is a pic of the vanity side.
