College Apartment Bathroom Ideas That Will Make Your Bathroom Look Nice

1. Floating shelves 

Recreate this idea:

Floating shelves are a effentient and cute way to decorate and organize your college apartment bathroom. 

What to put on floating shelves in your bathroom:

  • Extra toilet paper 
  • Wall decor 
  • Plants 
  • Cotton balls & q-tips 

2. Drawer organization 

Recreate this idea:

If you want to keep your mind sane on an everyday basis, having organized drawers is a MUST. I love how these drawer organizers come in different sizes so you can mix and match them to fit your products. 

3. Under the sink organization

Recreate this idea:

The area underneath your bathroom sink is another space that can really get cluttered really fast if you’re not careful. Having a good organization set up from the start will prevent this! Clear bins, turntables, and labels are a necessity for keeping this area nice and tidy so that you are able to find what you need when you need it. 

4. Towel Ladder 

Recreate this idea:

I love how unique this towel storage idea is! I had a hard time finding a way to store my towels without taking up unnecessary space in my bathroom. This storage utilizes your wall space instead of floor space. 

Pro tip: Use towels that are all the same color, or that match your bathroom color theme to make your towel ladder more aesthetically pleasing. 

5. Corner Shelf 

Recreate this idea:

To keep unnecessary clutter from building up on your countertops, try this corner shelf! This shelf will help keep things all in one area of your counter without using too much of your counter space. 

6. Bookshelf 

Recreate this idea:

If your college apartment bathroom has little to no cabinet storage space, this bookshelf is going to make life so much easier. The easiest method for using a bookshelf for storage is organizing everything in storage bins. 

Storage bins I love:

Clear storage bins: These bins allow you to see everything you have. I recommend using labels to make keeping everything organized easier 

Woven storage bins: If you like things to be out of sight of mind, these bins are for you! 

7. Counter Tray 

Recreate this idea:

This counter tray is perfect for holding your most reached for bathroom essentials!

8. Cotton Ball/Q-Tip Holder 

I’ve seen these cotton ball and q-tip holders EVERYWHERE. These jars are a cute way to organize them so they don’t end up all over the place. 

9. Cute Soap and Lotion Dispensers 

If you really want to elevate your bathroom, transfer all of your soap and lotion into these aesthetic dispensers. It’s a small change, but it makes all the difference in your bathroom decor. You’ll be so obsessed! You can even do it with your shampoo and conditioner bottles. 

10. Accent Wall

Recreate this idea:

You can truly bring your boring college apartment bathroom to life with a cute accent wall! This accent wall can be done with a removable wallpaper that won’t damage your walls. You can simply peel it off when you move out!

11. Woven basket 

Recreate this idea:

Using a woven basket to store your bath towels is a cute way to keep them nice and tidy and easy to reach in your bathroom!

12. Rolling Cart 

Recreate this idea:

Rolling carts have been all the rave lately because they are seriously hands down of best ways to add extra storage space to pretty much every room in your house. Here are a few ways you can use a rolling cart in your bathroom 

  • Makeup storage 
  • Hair tools & products 
  • Skincare & fragrances 
  • Towels 
  • Bath essentials (body wash, bath bombs, etc.) 
  • Toilet paper

13. Faux Plants 

Recreate this idea:

The easiest way you can bring your bathroom to life is with plants. A plant or two can really tie together your bathroom and give it a cozy vibe that can’t be beat. 

14. Hang Wall Art 

You don’t want plain and boring walls in your bathroom, be sure hang some fun wall art to jazz things up a bit. 

15. Runner Rug 

Recreate this idea:

Regular bath mats aren’t always the cutest. If you are looking for something more decorative, try opting for a runner rug instead. 

16. Hair Accessory Organization

Recreate this idea: 

Keeping up with hair accessories is such a pain! These jars will give you a designated place to put them so you don’t lose so many all the time!
