Mark a spot with a marker on all four corners where you want to put a top shelf.  Places like Lowes and Marnards even Home Depot has different size shelving and colors too. 

Take your measurements with you and some places will even cut it for you so all you have to do is mount it when returning home. Tell the salesperson what your trying to do and they can recommend the mount supplies you'll need.  Know how to us a drill, oh that's ok if you don't a screw driver will work just as good only it is harder to do. Take a small nail and make a hole where you want to mount the shelving units.  Using the drill or screwdriver install, the mounting brackets and lay down your new shelf on top of it.  Now that wasted space has a shelf in it and you can put the small items on it towards the top.

Rubbermaid also makes shelves that stack on top of each other that you can put in this space. You can make space to store nice towels and other bathroom accessories. Rubbermaid is easy to clean just fill up the tub or take outside and use the garden hose on them.  Warm soapy water and a hose to rinse will do a great job and the mess is all outside.
