    I don't understand isn't your toilet in the water closet?


    I know most people can use more storage. I like adjustable shelves in case you decide to add something tall or short the shelves can be adjusted to accomodate that item.

    Also a good place to hang and store brooms, mops, etc.

    You can add shelves around features or do narrow shelves on the walls. If you add a photo to your post, you can get some very specific ideas. The contributors on this site are very inventive.

    Are you asking for ideas on how you can make the floor space seem roomier, or how you can make the wall space more efficient for storage? Do you have a basin in your WC, or any other fixtures, besides the commode?


    Please post a picture of your WC so that we can see what the space is that you have to work with.

    A great way to utilize space in a small area is to go "vertical". Even if you place rather shallow shelves on the walls, it will add lots of storage and decor space. Very narrow shelves could be used behind a door and still not interfere with it opening completely. Try to think outside of the usual! To keep items being stored looking good, place them in decorative boxes or baskets and perhaps label them attractively.

    Put some shelves or a vanity to store cleaners, towels or???

  • Making use of the walls, going vertically will make great use of the space.

  • I personally suggest to make use of a cabinet on wall, that would work well.
