18 Bathroom Shelf Decor Ideas For Over The Toilet That Look Amazing

Are you looking for bathroom shelf decor ideas? This post shows you 18 stunning and practical examples.

Bathroom shelves are great for storage and decor. Use it for aesthetic cleaning products, toilet paper, and other bathroom necessities. Besides that, wall-mounted bathroom shelves are a great spot for plants, vines, or other small decors.

The space over the toilet is usually the best spot to install wall shelving in your bathroom. It’s practical if you use shelves for storage. In small bathrooms, it’s usually the only free wall space you have.

Below, we’ll look at different bathroom shelf options! From simple designs to circular shelves and wall shelves with an industrial aesthetic. There are also modern farmhouse styles that elevate the space.

Floating wall shelves with iron pipes look way cooler than you’d expect! You can get these on Amazon and go for a design with the pipes attached to the shelves or separated.

This modern apartment bathroom has lots of cool details like the peel and stick tiles and a curved mirror. Use your bathroom shelves for skincare products and other essentials.

A great way to update your bathroom is to replace the mirror. If you’re decorating your bathroom, that’s one of the easiest ways to change the space.

Pick floating wall shelves for the bathroom with a unique touch, like these with the wire detail.

In apartment bathrooms, shelving with lots of storage space is key. This bamboo shelf tower is a favorite for many small bathrooms, and it’s easy to see why. Use the lower shelves for storing things like cleaning products and towels. The top shelves are great for canisters with cotton pads and other necessities.

4. Over the toilet shelf ladder with neutral decor and bathroom essentials

A storage ladder over the toilet is an excellent solution if you live in a rental and don’t want to mount shelves on the wall. Ladders might not be the sturdiest, but you can also get a shelving stand (if you’re planning to use it for heavy storage).

5. Circular wall shelf decor for a modern farmhouse aesthetic

Brightening up your bathroom with a cool shelving situation is easy and inexpensive. This circular wall shelf has enough space to store small things like canisters or hand towels.

Bathroom shelf decor can be as simple as hanging three floating shelves above one another and placing a few plants on them. Some funky bathroom art goes a long way too.

Again, a metal wire basket is a great decorative item in your bathroom! This one is also functional for storing toilet rolls.

One of my favorite ways to decorate the bathroom is with vines. A telephone plant is a great bathroom option because they thrive in humidity and don’t need sunlight.

Pay attention to the type of wood and color of the shelves! It changes the mood of your entire bathroom. In smaller and darker spaces, always opt for a lighter color. It will make the space feel bigger than wood in an ash color or darker tone.

8. Bathroom shelves with custom brackets and seagrass basket decor

One way to customize your bathroom shelving situation is with brackets. Choose the type of wood you like and pick your brackets. Small seagrass baskets are excellent for bathroom shelf decor and storing things like cotton swabs and feminine products.

9. Thick wood bathroom shelves for a farmhouse ambiance

Get thick wall shelves for a super cool look! You can get these on amazon (not real wood), but the wide style gives the space a unique look. They’re also not heavy at all.

If you want to make your bathroom look cute, find a way to make practical products look nice! Getting things like pretty canisters and a vanity tray helps make your bathroom look put together.
