Vertical solutions
When horizontal space is restricted, vertical solutions are often overlooked.  Consider a leaning or hung towel ladder as shelving unit.  With today’s modern farmhouse craze, finding the perfect size and style should not be a problem.  You may even be able to add baskets with hooks that attach to the ladder steps for even more storage.
 
Floating storage
If your bathroom didn’t come equipped with built-in storage, don’t let it deter you.  Instead, consider adding floating storage.  Do a keyword search for apothecary hanging or leaning storage solutions and you will understand the idea.   Originally, apothecary cabinets were used to store herbs and medicine. Today, we use apothecary cabinets for the same purpose.  The small drawers are perfect for holding pill makeup, soaps, bottles, medicine, bandages, and additional necessary items.
 
Laundry station with shelf

Everything old is new again
Remember picture ledges?  Picture ledges are now repurposed as bathroom shelving storage solutions. 
Thinner and sleeker than the original country picture shelf, the new versions are perfectly suited to smaller items like candles, perfume, toiletry canisters containing cotton balls, Q-tips, and the like.
