You might not think about them often, but your bathroom shelves deserve some attention to detail. All those little items (ones you actually need on a daily basis) shouldn’t be jumbled up in a drawer or left in the back of a dark, deserted cabinet. They should be front and center and add to your bathroom’s decor.

So how do you keep all those bathroom odds and ends at the ready and with a company-worthy presentation? Enter: perfectly styled bathroom shelves. It might seem easier said than done, but we called on the expertise of Birmingham, Alabama-based stylist Kathleen Varner to give us all the tips on how to decorate bathroom shelves. She shares her no-fail advice for styling bathroom shelves with solutions that focus on storage that’s both smart and attractive.

1. Opt for Adjustable Shelves in Small Bathrooms

Varner loves built-ins for larger bathrooms but finds the ability to easily switch up the height and location of shelves to be key in tiny areas. “Brackets or floating shelves are nice for a smaller space and adjustable as your needs change,” she says. There are myriad shelving options for bathrooms, including glass options, freestanding shelving units, ceiling-grazing towers and small accent shelves. Determining how much storage you need, your space parameters and your aesthetic will help you determine which style of shelf is best suited for your needs.
