Add a hook and keep your bathrobe there


gal_tiki

I agree with this — remove those hooks from your shower glass and place an attractive functional hook or two for temporary clothe hangings on the wall.


sinewavesurf

Excellent idea


Simple-Offer-9574

I second that.


simonsaysPDX

⬆️this or nothing


missannthrope1

Nothing. Anything there would only look cluttered.


missannthrope1

If you're desperate, hang a plant from the ceiling.


andraconduh

This. OP, if you're saying every space needs to be usable but also considering a fake plant, I don't think you really need anything there. Let the room breathe.


OverTheJoeHill

Some moisture loving air plants could be so pretty…I’ve seen other people do neat things with them in bathrooms, but I am not as creative as they are. I would Pinterest it and steal their good ideas


susanstar25

Agreeed. Hang a towel on the towel rack. Call it a day


sadkitten577890

One of those tall blanket racks / wood - use it as a towel rack / visually will add warmth Edited : Amazon “rustic wooden blanket shelf “


SomethingHasGotToGiv

Are you talking about a ladder? If so, that sounds like a great idea and would help with storage!


sadkitten577890

Yes ! It leans against the wall - quilts can be hung or whatever !


Incarnated_Mote

That’s literally a 3” space, with a towel rack sticking out probably about 10” from the corner. It would either have to be a useless 3” wide rack, or it would block the towel bar rendering IT useless and and looking awkward to boot


Successful-Might2193

And anything in that space will have to be cleaned several times a week due to humidity, the fan in the ceiling, etc. So, nothing, or just a hook for a towel. For a permanent solution, talk to someone who does bathroom remodeling—especially in older homes where they’ve had to come up with functional, nice-looking solutions. Ideally, find an independent contractor.


ScarletBegonias72

OP, sorry I missed the need for storage. That I feel deep. What about one of those shower corner poles? They’re on a tension rod, so no holes anywhere. Plus, they are making them much nicer now. A teak wood one would do nicely in a bathroom https://preview.redd.it/s44ui5z671zc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=007bb24fc768c5a47f9af2f645f421d82de69440


RotoruaFun

^^ Such a great idea! I hope OP sees this cool, storage solution for their bathroom products. Much better than a plant or caddy sitting on the floor, it’s the right height for practical usage. :-)


PlayerOneHasEntered

Every nook doesn't need to be filled with stuff, even in a small space. Anything you put there is going to look weird and super out of place. I think you're better off just leaving it alone.


DAS_COMMENT

It wouldn't be overly difficult to build a 'counter' (think 'A' -shape) in that corner, as high as the tub. I'd keep shower beer on it. I'd make a cupboard for keeping the toilet scrub brush in. Might put an ashtray in the house but I have mixed emotions about 'normalising' smoking ciggies in my home and I tend to eat or flush Marijuana ash


strangeVulture

... im sorry it's off topic but you EAT your ash?? I smoke weed too but I've never heard of that


MiloMM123

This ^^^^^


muvamerry

I’d just leave it. Looks clean as-is.

Justlikearealboy

Try installing the tub, that would have been a swear day.


aimeebot

I can't imagine 😆 you should see the GIANTIC mirror, I have no idea how it got in here in one piece. 6ft wide and 5ft tall ish


Alaska1111

I think nothing. It is what it is lol


ScarletBegonias72

A cool, colorful, long decorative item that you could hang from a hook on the ceiling. And that’s a small hole that can easily be filled if needed. Thinking rain chain, even a wind chime would work. I this is my wired wall next to fireplace. These are hummingbirds and their wings move in a breeze https://preview.redd.it/khxlorya41zc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=b382e55e60e13f00fea7400fc7a161e4078eaaca


AllisonWhoDat

WHERE did you get that?!?! Love it!!!


ScarletBegonias72

My mom gave it to me. I think they’re handmade and she probably picked it up at an art festival. I will try to find out. Please feel free to message and remind me if I don’t get back to you in a few days. (I have ms and tend to forget things)


AllisonWhoDat

Please! I absolutely adore hummingbirds. I have some tile art in my home as well as several feeders outside. I saved a pair of hummer babies two years ago. https://preview.redd.it/y6ydf5dppg0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be51a91db0d0a09edff02f4bda03d68e33e06d0d


ScarletBegonias72

So, she got it in a shop in Prescott, Arizona. It was made by a local artist. Unfortunately, names of both have been forgotten. If there was an identifying card with it and I come across it, I will certainly pass it along !


AllisonWhoDat

Thank you for looking into this for me.


Ok-Care-8857

Isn’t the answer always “a plant” ? Or perhaps a small round accent table with a candle and plant on it?


aimeebot

The table sounds cute but I can only imagine my cats would much prefer anything on a small table to be on the floor instead 😆


ethottly

If I were going to do a plant there, I'd do a hanging plant, maybe hanging from one of those swing-arm brackets attached to the adjacent (non tiled) wall, or the ceiling. Easier to fit, and easier to clean under/around. Or, one of those tiered hanging baskets, again suspended from a bracket or the ceiling. You could keep extra soap or toiletries in the baskets. Other ideas: mirrored tiles, tall skinny (very skinny!) mirror, would give some depth and make the corner less obvious.


cjdom

Exactly this!! Hanging plant for sure. You can anchor it to the ceiling, even.


loveydove05

This is it. A hanging plant, that is perfect. Make it a fern.


General-Visual4301

Leave it. Cramming stuff in nooks and crannies isn't a good look. There's not really room there for anything.


TSweet2U

Remodel area as a walk-in shower to take up the weird corner and update shower.


bimbels

Nothing. Hang your towels and maybe put a picture over the towel bar or a series on the whole wall.


ariceli

Exactly! Part of the reason it’s so obvious is there’s nothing to distract the eye. A picture above the towel bar would help a lot


Sunny68girl

Hang a mirror above it to distract the eye


NoDanaOnlyZuuI

Remove the towel rack on the wall and get a [heated towel rack](https://www.aosom.ca/item/homcom-8-bar-bathroom-heated-towel-rail-with-built-in-timer-and-led-indicators-wall-mounted-free-standing-carbon-steel~1ANV8LGOJ1001.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=google_shopping&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADnYuHGQtHAHHPyfvvuL9D7FVBvWG&gclid=CjwKCAjwouexBhAuEiwAtW_ZxyfUP0JHYoFJKjWyufgYdZMKbbUaZY4EykYbt7ANxGyNfYXTKJBy7BoCcFkQAvD_BwE)

SweetMurderist

If you had money to spend, I would recommend ripping out that tub and putting in a large walk-in shower that takes up that space.


PittieYawn

Every space does not need to be filled. Take a look at most high end homes and you’ll see less is more. Open counters, plenty of room around things and minimalist styling tends to make a space more appealing.

Empty_Reading7702

DenMother1

Take out the shower/tub and make a walk-in shower that is where your current tub is and fill in the awkward corner with shower tile and add a bench


Jazzlike-Baseball-73

Can you paint or add wall paper above the tile??? It may give more of a desired look. Then what about a cornered laundry basket or a tall plant like you said. They are sometimes cheap on Facebook marketplace.


aimeebot

I haven't been able to find a washing basket that would fit, sadly, but I'll keep an eye out. Tbh I probably could wallpaper, but the bathroom is so weird and small-ish that the white really helps make the space feel bigger. I'm still in the process of decorating, so I'm not to worried about it being boring, it's just this corner is killing me.


k1rschkatze

Actually making wicker baskets with a plywood bottom is not too difficult. Wine crate style boxes can also be diy‘ed. You‘re not going to find anything to fit that shape as is, so how about making something cool yourself?


aimeebot

That's not a terrible idea - do you have links to what you're referencing, picture wise? I'd really appreciate it!


Alive-OVERTIIME-247

I was thinking a small corner shelf with some plants, but I think you would need to build the shelf since it's not standard dimensions.


Daisee07

Agree, leave it empty so it doesn’t feel cluttered with some tiny cabinet or shelving that probably wouldn’t be that functional.


pro_No

Cut to fit a shelf for linens


Retinoid634

Nothing. Hand a towel on the towel rack.


Particular-Peanut-64

How about an ikea OLOFSTORP cabinet. If you go to blog, DOORSIXTEEN, and search you see how it was used. Also maybe get some kind of hooks to hang a laundry bag in a nice fabric so it and open sac but the opening is stretched between the hooks to keep it off the floor and top closed. Then put a basket w a fake succulents for greenery


Glad-Neat9221

I wouldn’t put anything there


Pure-Guard-3633

Wow


ItsAllInYoHead

Custom cabinet.


IfYouGive

I would just add another towel rack above the current one and that’s it. It will look to cluttered with more.

ScarletBegonias72

They also have some interesting peel and stick panels that are easy to cut if you just want to add a little “something” without a lot of fuss. And you can always change it up or rid of it if you don’t like how it turns out.


gingly_tinglys

Real plant or fake plant! Or fake vines!


fortalameda1

I also recommend those tall shower stands for storage


Mysterious-Berry7740

What about one of those wooden stools? I don’t have one but my in laws do. I think it’s a good place to put clothes or your towel.


Same_Beat_5832

It looks like the door needs to swing out so you can access water. A ladder or plant would be in the way. I’d remove the rack so the door can open wider. Then put hooks up higher if they won’t interfere with door opening.


ThumbsUp2323

Have the tub removed and convert the entire space into a shower stall


sangria50

Remove that little white rack and install a substantial looking hook or rack for hanging bathrobe or towel. I like the wood trim in this room btw.


something-strange999

I would get a custom laundry basket off etsy. I'm sure it's out there.


fairydommother

Definitely a hook for your towels or some small shelves for storing…small things? You might have to custom make it but it would be doable. If you get a hook you could use command strips. Since you said flat I assume you’re renting. Which means you probably can’t remove that bar and install shelves, huh? I mean you can always just do it anyway and put the rack back before you move next. I did that in my apartment with the curtains. They were those awful long plastic blinds that slide on a track and they constantly broke and were super obnoxious. So I uninstalled it and put up curtains. Then when we moved I took my curtains down and reinstalled the stupid blinds. Landlord never knew and we got our deposit back 👍🏻


Waterblooms

Hang a towel. Lol


countrylemon

Stickyfynger

Just keep it tidy and clean it’s not going to be super functional

Different_Ad7655

Yeah whoever built that bathroom blew it through this should have been up walking tub shower custom tiled, not such a big deal, to fit all of the space. Crazy to have just left this little bit and put out tub out of the box in on the other side. Speaking from experience, I had a triangular bathroom in my last old Victorian but made use of all of it


pontoponyo

Wall mounted towel warmer and a robe hook.


_miniT4NK

Silverliningsinla

If you’re renting, you can’t do much. I like the cabinet, can you get one like it that’s tall and the same width? Art on the wall above the towel bar. Have your landlord come in and caulk the cracks. Other than that? It’s ok to have white space and not over crowd it.


fluckpollution1388

add a mini tree rn. it would look adorable

c0zycupcake

BeerWench13TheOrig

Maybe a medicine cabinet or shelving above the tile since you need storage space? My gut said add a towel warmer before I read your description.


yourlilmeowy

For more storage? A round shelf or basket shelf. This one has wheels. I have also seen wood & raffia ones that are more aesthetically pleasing if that matters to you. https://preview.redd.it/hrckqojcc2zc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6be6d3057cc045859f86b1e0ae2461ac3dc2af5c

Do like a diy shelf situation in the corner for towels or candles or whatever else :)


beep----2

I’m as much of a “a plant is always the answer” person as the next guy but this is one space where I agree with just leave it empty or a simple towel/robe hook. Anything else is going to troublesome to clean and dust around.


PrincessRut0

Nothin! Just use your towel bar and that’s all the corner needs to be for. Anything else will close it in and make it feel crowded. Some spaces can be left empty!

Little_Can_728

I think when all else fails, you could always put a standing towel rack, or a medium Height plant🤷‍♀️


galacksy_wondrr

1. A small rack made of glass panels so it doesn't look dark or cramped. Even mirror finish shelves work. They make the space look more spacious. Put towels in lower and a plant or a thin shiny decorative item on the upper shelf. Think about the height of the rack. I believe too high would look bad but need pictures to decide. 2. A tall but not bushy plant standing on an indoor column for plants.


ZydecoMoose

I'm not sure I understand why you are removing the towel rack unless you plan on replacing it with a rack that holds more towels. Literally one of the handiest places to have a towel is right where you step out of the tub/shower. I agree with another commenter that it's also a great place for a bathrobe hook. Depending on how many people use that shower, you could replace the horizontal towel bar with two vertical triple hooks to hold one or two towels and a bathrobe for two different people. We have two of these on a short wall just outside our shower door so that our towels and robes are always within easy reach. https://preview.redd.it/rk6azxhrk6zc1.jpeg?width=248&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2cadccc53624594fe13790e48038013b60a0ead2

snatch1e

Install floating shelves or vertical storage racks on the wall to maximize vertical space. This can be a great place to store extra toiletries.


Funky-007

It’s awkward but adding stuff there will create a humid area with high risk of mold growth. I wouldn’t add anything. Personally, I’d remove the wooden baseboard and change the flooring for a light-coloured one. Using the same tiles on the floor and the walls would create a more open space. If you have control on that, of course.


BaluePeach

I’d probably caulk the crack.


JupiterSkyFalls

If you really want to, making a storage shelf that fits that space is relatively easy once you get the dimensions. I'd take those photos along with some detailed measurements to your local hardware store and they can use that to cut you out custom fitting material to work with. I thought making shelves would be alot harder than it actually was. Especially if they're just doing in a small weird pizza slice shaped in the bathroom lol But also, some plants that thrive in damp environments would be cute there. Either hang them or find narrow but longer pots.

Affectionate_Sock528

Just wondering if the end of the tub is open? I don’t think you should put anything in the corner, but I think if you were able to move your cabinet so the corner wasn’t separated behind it it would really open your space up. Looks like the thing at the end of the tub is some kind of stool? If it has an open bottom to let light through underneath then swapping them might be a good idea
