If you find yourself considering a pedestal sink for your bathroom, or your apartment already has one, you might find yourself low on space to store your lotions and potions. We're not hating, though. A pedestal sink is usually a gorgeous addition; it just doesn't have the added bonus of drawers and cabinets like a built-in vanity. But fear not, we've got you. There are a plethora of smart pedestal sink storage ideas that can keep your clutter in check without forfeiting style.
From beautiful baskets to creative cabinets, let's dive in.

We really love the crisp look of this bathroom's pedestal sink. And you just can't beat a freestanding tub with subway tile. If you want a similar aesthetic, add a tiered metal shelf where you can keep things organized and in view.

5. Send in a side table to help.
Many of us probably have an extra side table that can be put to use inside our bathrooms, especially if it doesn't fit anywhere else. This little midcentury modern option in the New Darling's powder room completes the sink area and provides great toiletry storage.
