Small bathroom cabinets can be an extremely efficient way to maximize the space in a tight bathroom design. They offer essential storage, but do so in a low profile way that allows for other design and furniture elements to be incorporated without making the bathroom inefficient or difficult to navigate.

Your options for small bathroom cabinets are wide-ranging, and you'll likely want to decide on the style and materials for your cabinets first. This decision is likely to be based on whether you want the cabinets to mirror the overall design of the bathroom or offer a slight style departure and perhaps a pop of color. You can also use a unique material or finish choice in the space to add visual appeal. If you choose to complement a common design, small bathroom cabinets in traditional, contemporary and modern materials and finishes are widely available, so you should have no trouble finding the style that suits your bathroom.

Once you've chosen the style for your small bathroom cabinets, you'll need to determine their placement. Some common areas for installation of these space-saving cabinets are corners, which are often under-utilized, and spaces underneath vanities or other freestanding furniture, which can often provide areas ripe for the placement of storage elements.
