Exploit wall space
in a tiny bathroom for two or more, you need to think vertically and to make use of every inch of wall space in the ceiling.
wood shelves, cupboards and closets are perfect for ultra narrow bathrooms. Mix and match the open and closed storage so you can put the prettiest toiletries on display (glass jars still look elegant) and hide the most functional bathroom bits behind closed doors.

Select a caddy
This is a good idea if you share your bathroom with a roommate or friend. Splash on individual bath caddies and fill with your own toiletries, flannels and lotions.

Sneak in a stool
a little unassuming stool can be a boon in a bathroom-for-two, for many reasons. It can be used as a temporary place for clothes and towels, or pulled up to sit if you fancy a quick chat with your other half who is having a bath in the tub.
If the ledges and supports are in short supply, too, the stool can also double as a small perch for toiletries.

Select a bath with double end
If you share a bathroom with a partner, choose a bathroom with two equally inclined ends, so you can both swim at a time. Place the taps in the middle of the bath so that neither one of you needs to be uncomfortable - or better yet, have them wall and out of the way. (Also perfect if you bathe regularly more than one child at a time.)

go half and half
If built in storage is simply not feasible in your shared washing area and a large, freestanding bathroom cabinet will do the job just as well.
If possible, use an equal amount of doors and drawers to share your bathroom pieces. And the beauty is that circumstances change, the cabinet can be moved to another part of the house and be used for storage elsewhere.
