When it comes to spaces in need of storage, the bathroom ranks high on the list. It is one of the rooms people most often complain about not having enough storage in. There are a few ways you can increase storage in a bathroom, such as hanging shelving along “dead space” such as the wall above the toilet, or better organizing your vanity.

One of my favorite ways to instantly increase the storage in your bathroom in a big way, though, is by introducing a freestanding cabinet. If you have some space, this piece of furniture will not only provide you with copious amounts of storage space, but it will also infuse a lot of extra character into the decor. (It’s a win-win!)

A freestanding cabinet could be a hutch, chest of drawers, or even a bookcase. They come in a variety of different sizes and styles to suit what you need. If you’re on a budget, you can look through thrift shops and garage sales and then personalize them with fresh paint and hardware. Just make sure you measure the space to make sure you get a piece that is the right size.

To inspire you, here are 10 freestanding bathroom cabinet ideas to show you just how effective and stylish they can be.
