If you're dealing with a small space, don't let the area above your toilet go to waste as a décor or storage opportunity. Whether you install art, shelving, or even just accessorize the top of your toilet tank, it can make all the difference in your bathroom.Below, ten ideas for what to do with that weird space above your toilet, from storage to décor.

Install a Windowsill

For those with a window in your bathroom, take the opportunity to deco it out (Emma J Shipley). Add plants along the window sill for fun, or paint the trim of the window a bold color.

Maximize Your Mirror Space

Don't limit your mirror space to only above the sink. Extend it all the way over to the toilet to maximize that wall space. Plus who doesn't love an unconfined rectangle mirror?

Hang Framed Artwork

It doesn't get simpler than this: Hang framed artwork that matches your bathroom's décor scheme above the toilet.

Add a Storage Shelf

If you add live plants, ceramics, and more, shelving for storage can also double as décor.

Take Advantage of Built-ins

The Shelf/Rod Combo

Don't waste any potential storage space. This Chicago apartment has both a towel rod and a shelf with frames and foliage above the toilet.

Art and Ceramics

Try hanging framed art and then decorating the toilet tank with pretty ceramics, like in this small bathroom.

Install a Long Shelf

Your shelf doesn't have to end above your toilet. For more storage and décor space, extend it over your sink too, as seen in this Chicago condo.

The Shelf + Framed Art + Toilet Tank Décor Combo

You can do it all, as seen in this rental apartment. Decorate a shelf, hang some art, and place live plants and ceramics on your toilet tank to get the look.

Create a Setup

Between the shelf, framed art, sconce and décor accents, we can't get enough of this little bathroom décor setup.
