It’s essential that you have a lot of space for storing space so that everything is well organised. Moreover, it’s probably better having several small storing spaces that a big one, since it will help you make the most of the space available. There are many things that have to be stored in the bathroom: towels, WC paper, hair dryer, body lotions, soap, etc.
