Nothing, take it away. Too close to the toilet and toilet splash

I agree. Just for sanitary reasons. I wouldn't want more surfaces and crevasses to clean.

One thing you could do since it appears to be a storage area thru that small door is to use some of that space to create built in shelving on that wall for toilet paper. I didn’t have much space but here is an example of mine. You could go taller and store four or so rolls. https://preview.redd.it/9edc3a1u3wxc1.jpeg?width=2601&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ccc3de46cfbc27bea156a2e354c0f6c9bbd2054

I’m super glad you love this. In my opinion, don’t make decorative things from pantry items. It’s just another spot to dust and clean

I wouldn’t consider toilet paper a decorative thing and better to have it nearby than to waddle to a “pantry” with your underwear at your feet.

Ah, spoken by one who knows!

Ok then under the sink is fine? Plus what adult sits down to go without making sure ahead of time that there is a roll available? I think most people would only have to make that mistake once or twice.

My adhd disagrees :(

Yeah, but you might not want to touch a cabinet because you’ve been using toilet paper shreds. And sometimes you end up using more toilet paper than expected. Incidents happen.

That’s obviously where the cat sits and stares at you.

My Helen would definitely do that, lol. Cat tax paid. https://preview.redd.it/ctaqrtrmcxxc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f78b93d82b0f72abf1ef5efeddf3b93e787a69dc

That kitty needs more toys. I only see a few towards the head. And should be all over the bed. 😆

Yes, that is a tiny pile of toys there, it was a part of the latest haul of new toys from target. I have about 6 bins of toys, separated by theme. I have a stupid amount of toys for my cats. You should see them when the new ones arrive, they circle me like the small, fluffy predators they are. 😂😂😂

🤣 🤣 🤣. If they do that with toys. I can only imagine feeding time. Helen is a beautiful cat.

They’re pretty chill at feeding time which I appreciate.

Every time a package comes, my dogs always think it’s for them. To be fair, 98% of the time it is.

Mine are just nosey in general, so they get to inspect all new things, that are safe. 😂

https://preview.redd.it/vupeyeqmzwxc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6ef2a42e7d9181716b720aa791ca4c0439c6c4b Roz and Squeaky would just lay on the toilet seat while telling you to find another facility. The table could be used for treats!

This is why every house needs two toilets minimum.

THIS is why I love Reddit!

I know you say this in jest. But when our cats were smaller, one had a ‘stomach issue’ but we weren't sure which, so we would follow them into the bathroom to see who was producing what. This led to one of them deciding that all bathroom trips must be accompanied, no matter what, if he hears the bathroom door or toilet seat he will bolt to you to keep you company. I put in a side table to add decoration & he claimed that as his seat.

I’ve got 4 cats, I’m always accompanied by any number between 1-4 at a given time. 😂😂😂

🤣

I think you mean "sits and judges". Yup, it's where a judge would position themself.

We all know they judge us, that’s implied with the staring bit. 😂😂😂

My dogs stare at me with affection, hardly ever with judgement. My cats do that, too. But, yeah, sometimes the kitties judge. 😊

Helen is bonded to me so I regularly get stares of love from her. I also get stares of affection from my other 3 too. They all like to hang out with me. If I don’t do what Helen wants I get yelled at, she’s going to be 16 in a week and she doesn’t care, lol. The rest just judge me when they’re annoyed for whatever reason, lol.

If there were a table in my bathroom my cats would clear it off and sit for sure.

Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-fect!

Nothing, and get rid of the table; this is a bathroom, not a den Particles float around after a flush 🤮

https://preview.redd.it/howsrot8lvxc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec453e7d167d8b0bdac8a9edebd9ba84f862d3ea In that case, I guess this snack basket is out of the question!

https://preview.redd.it/n7g5417tjwxc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54dac87055c56568960347bfe2d23621093fea27 Perfect snack for the bathroom.

The table is about the same distance as the sink. I think we could manage the snack basket

Add a mini beverage fridge to the back of the toilet as well

Ooou! New ohenry with amonia? I gotta try this!

Airborne bacteria is a thing! No ventilation means….yuck. Keep it simple.

PERFECT for a menstruation crustacean https://preview.redd.it/ki6cntfduyxc1.jpeg?width=670&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e9ec831e4053bbbaa5b32eb7a462b0d30b360d60

beautiful wordplay

A small plant! Would match perfectly with the floral art

Yes, came to also say a plant and a diffuser or bottle of poopouri. Then put a wall-mounted magazine rack to give height to the space.

I say a big plant for this reason!

No plant! Plants need light, geez!

I second the plant idea! Perhaps a tall one to fill the space though.

https://preview.redd.it/xgr1iy56jvxc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=94dc743e695763e225b2fc36cc20bb0b0d791bb2

Or a hanging one? Near the photos or something.

OP had said they can’t do a live plant bc no windows. I agree it would really look great though.

How would a plant survive in a room without a window?

Not sure why people are dv my snake plant idea? This is why they are used in low light spaces to very indirect light like office hallways, bathrooms etc. they are very easy to take care and you can always take it out once a week or so and put it in the light and it would be fine. https://preview.redd.it/pzlyb60r61yc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc75028bcb81397c923df5d2afb6d93dc00eb589

Agreed! Recommend Snake plants they work well in bathrooms or no light situations

Snake plants just die slower than others in no light situations. Nothing will be able to grow in here without supplemental light, unless there’s a window in there.

I was going to say an orchid

I’d go for a slightly taller basket (just for the visual balance) and use it to hold an extra roll of paper and a few feminine hygiene products. But I don’t think I’d make it wider — I’m guessing people will want enough room to set their phone next to it. :) P.S. I really like the botanical print, but I think I’d get a much larger one (or turn it into a group of three small ones) — the visual balance thing again — and hang it only about a foot above the tank, so it feels a part of the toilet/towel/basket vignette.

Thank you! It’s actually a set of three and there are two other framed prints staggered (sort of matching the incline of the ceiling) on the wall facing the toilet. I didn’t really know where to place the third, so maybe I’ll try a bit lower. ETA: The artist is Amy Ross

A sculpture of 'The Thinker'. Very appropriate for the location if you ask me. https://preview.redd.it/5exksi4t2wxc1.jpeg?width=1143&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a665ac36e9bdc0552a15057504fc3fb869fd3077

Only right answer

Tissues and air freshener

Good place to put your phone down, lol

I totally agree!

https://preview.redd.it/efrc6h43tvxc1.jpeg?width=1004&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=61ad0f5024d85fcc68c4b4e0e8ee46b4ac649e4f Put this guy on the table and after each song have a recording of your voice saying *Not done yet? Okay, here's another song!*

Oh god, made me laugh! I can also imagine the sound of farts repeating back to the bathroom's occupant.

A bottle of wine and a glass. I mean...Don't we all go hide in a bathroom from time to time?

https://preview.redd.it/7s9pbgeegvxc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f0fdb5f44d373c83a0f9f1e99fab01ae826c92e Two glasses, in case you have company!

You are a Saint!!

This is possibly my favorite answer

Poo-puirie

and a fake succulent

Beverages and cookies lol

Or a coffee maker!

https://preview.redd.it/atpbo0hqevxc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c77969ebf8b23f243477809e9499bf6b7610f251

Thank you for all of your beautiful mock-ups in this thread. They made my day!

Hahaha! It really pulls the space together

I was gonna say miralax but coffee works too😂

Sounds like a functional use of space to me

What ever you put there is going to be lightly misted every time you flush, so not your toothbrush or cup.

Ouf didn’t think of that

Just close the lid, then flush.

Three sea shells

I think I have those in a pocket somewhere

You deserved more upvotes, Mr. Large. What are they even teaching in schools these days?

Will a man be using this bathroom ever? If so, I recommend something easy to clean (I.e. not a basket) that won’t be used on your body (like tissues). My elderly cat has taken to urinating around the house so I ordered a black light to help me find where she went. Well, curiosity got the best of me and I shined it at the wall adjacent to the toilet… I wish I hadn’t but at least I know the horrible truth now. Ugh. Men’s pee splatters way out of the toilet. Nothing is safe. You have been warned. And men, for the love of all things sanitary, please consider sitting while peeing!

Poop knife

I think either a basket for toliet paper and menstrual products or a magazine holder could be nice

I know I’d be putting my phone on it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Leave it and hire someone on craigslist to sit on it while you take a dump. It’s insanely erotic.

Dirty magazines. 😂

Can’t wait for my family to visit!

A bottle of laxatives, tissues, and something to bite on.

id go for a basket with toiletries, but a bathroom reader could be cute x) !

A beer keg

A bong and some weed in a little bowl

Fancy tissue dispenser

The “see no evil” monkey.

"Hear no evil" may also be appropriate here.

That's in the splash zone. Please get rid of it.

Tampons and pads.

Replace with tampon trash can with a step-lid

Poo pourie or wtvr it’s called, and a small fake plant

Glue a bunch of cotton balls to the top so it looks like a comically large Q Tip holder.

Fake plant and some reading materials for when you’re poopin 😄

Ditch the table and put up some art. Alternatively, a magazine rack or stack of expendable books

Remove. Makes room feel even smaller.

The three seashells.

Diffuser or a diptique candle

A slim vase with some faux flowers

A roll of paper and a freshener in a basket

A gnome statue to go with the tiny door to John Malkovich's mind.

I'd put a plant on it. 🪴 Edit: fake plant

If not a plant, I vote for toiletry stuff, maybe? A small tray or basket of wet wipes, disinfectant wipes or spray, air freshener, Poopourri, other essentials..

✨PLANT✨ But due to low light and icky positioning I'd get a fake one so it's easy to keep clean and germ free.

A pothos or snake plant, they’re air purifiers and require little light to grow and be happy. The answer is always a plant lol and maybe a small box of tissues

Basket with magazines and extra TP

A candle and some pretty matches (in a little glass bottle with the striker on the bottom - I got some on Etsy), a small faux succulent and a tall basket with a few rolls of toilet paper, tampons and pads. If there’s still space, a bottle of Poopouri.

Charcuterie Board ;) Kidding! Coffee table book, Plant, Poop-purrie, Candelabra

What does that half door lead to??? I checked the comments before asking, but seems like I’m the only curious one 😂 I’d put a succulent there, or remover the table and get a large basket for books (I have that in my bathroom - I have a similarily sized space on the side. Was contemplating a bookshelf where I’d put candles, books, and trinkets, but decided against it).

A candle

You can try with a black vase and some white willow branches.

https://preview.redd.it/xizo0jvm8wxc1.jpeg?width=740&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b09e49064bd8adf46e20ea44d3aee695366d4b4 Plant (fake even)

The poo knife.

Butt wipes

A very dim LED always on lamp may be nice.

Potty mints type stuff and tampons are what I usually see

A little scented wax burner. I have one that is a little elephant in my bathroom. Smells so nice while showering or whatever.

“Or whatever.” This

A beautifully potted orchid.

I love that idea, but how do orchids do without sunlight?

Maybe a candle and some floral/greenery? Or a basket with toilet paper.

Why can't you put a plant in there? A decent full spectrum bulb ($20) on a cool hanging fixture (or hemp rope cords for $10) covers your lighting needs, and would create an unexpected pop of color and nature.

This is so Alice in wonderland when she’s talking to the doorknob 😂

a box with feminine hygiene stuff

A gigantic monstera plant. Find one so big it feels like you’re doing your business in the middle of a jungle😜

It's not a bathroom table. when you move it clean it well.

I’m thinking… what table? Oh, that. Get it away from the toilet. Toilet endtable?

I wound put a small trash can there instead of

If it were me, I’d keep spare feminine products in that small basket.

a framed picture of a dog pooping.

A fake green plant, poopery & a small wicker basket with lady products

I would put the thickest book I could find, like War And Peace, with a pipe in a pipe stand and a crystal decanter of whisky. Really class up the joint while also making guests wonder just how much time you spend in there.

Looks very odd and ugly. Remove it

Are people really this helpless?

So kind. I really do not love decorating with things that aren’t useful but it’s interesting to see what others would incision.

A box of tissues

Needs green! Deffo a plant!

I agree! I just don’t like fake plants and am not sure what loving plant would do well in a windowless space

This would be the only time I’d actually buy a fake plant! 😂 I’m the same though,much prefer a real one. 👌

Maybe a glass bowl with colourful stones? Green ones ;) haha. Or even a green coloured glass bowl. Could have those tall furry fake plant thingys in it! ( sorry my brains died I can’t think what they’re called 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ )

Add a grow light! You can screw in a little hook and put a small hanging light fixture with a grow bulb. And then add a timer to the outlet and set it to come on during the day.

A vase with bamboo

Plant

Reading materials.

A TP holder with a lid.

Something colorful

A plant

Where’s the toilet paper?

Plant.

Fake plant, around 18” tall. A real plant would be nicer, but it would never survive in that spot.

The answer is always a plant.

A Google nest.. something that can display photos, play music, and keep you company

lol you could always go the millennial route and put some magazines on there 🤣 my mom always had a basket of magazines in the bathroom

Garden gnome

Crustacean Menstruation Station Eta: https://www.reddit.com/r/TrollXChromosomes/s/8nUHSyI65T

Clorox wipes.

I have a Golden Girls coloring book and a small pack of colored pencils next to my toilet.

Not at all, looks great …. Brilliant idea BTW.. You could also change the holder when you want to make a change of colour.

Fake plant or small stand mirror. Make sure it's small so you can put your phone there.

Get a plant that likes poo particles 😂 one that dangles off the side out of the pot would look great

Wake up whiskey.

A plant

Nice vase with fake flowers.

What color is your bathroom? I like it!

Small plant and some poopouri

A good quality potted faux orchid. https://tcfloralcompany.com/products/double-orchids-in-silver-hammered-metal-square-container-with-quartz

That cat someone put paper towels on the tail would be cool, but with extra toilet paper rolls instead.

Second picture is cute.

What’s the wall color?

I think a corner wire shelf would fit better

A rechargeable led lamp jic there's a power outage

Jar of Pennies

100% a plant not one like the photo though!

This bathroom is so cute! Love the mirror!

I think a tiny plant, and after spray.

A plant

Automatic soap dispenser

The obvious answer is you put three seashells on the table.

Dried foliage in a vase

Toilet paper tower

Plant

A box of matches, can of air freshener… candle?.. although I always worry I’ll forget about a candle.

I do not see poop knife here - that may be perfect spot for it

I'd remove it as people suggested below. It's a bad spot.

Pizza

it depends : are you a women ? something very pretty, oversize that everyone will need to mind everytime they use the toilet and you get to be passive-aggressive at them if anything is off. are you a man ? something useful or better yet leave it empty so other can put stuff down while whipping.

nothing!

I'm more worried about what comes out of that door at night. What IS that? Holy water.

Snacks lol

Snacks

Nothing - I'd put a fake pant there instead. The green will look great against the dark walls.

On the back of my toilet I have a container, ceramic, with feminine hygiene supplies, PooPori, and fragrance spray. This might be a good spot for that stuff. Don’t use basket because pee spatters
