Take Inventory Before You Begin

In order to put everything in the correct place in your bathroom, you will first need to what is stored there already. A great way to do this is to create a list as you remove items from the bathroom. You may find organizing your bathroom easier if you take as much as you can out of the room to get a fresh start. Plus, this will give you a great opportunity to clean while the room is free from clutter.

As you make your list, you should keep a plastic bin and trash bag handy. So that as you declutter the bathroom, you can quickly set things aside for donation or throw them away. For those who really love to make lists and organize, you can go the extra mile by grouping items in your list that you want to be stored together. No matter how you tackle this first step, it is a great way to get your ideas and creative juices flowing.

5: Lazy Susans for Bathroom Cabinets

We love them in kitchen cabinets, so why not bathrooms? Lazy Susans are a great way to turn your inaccessible corner cabinet into an easy-to-use storage option. In bathroom cabinets, you will likely not install a full lazy susan kit like you would in the kitchen.

Rather, you could use smaller, rotating trays to act as your lazy susan. If you use the space below your bathroom vanity to store cleaning supplies or extra toiletries, then you may have a hard time digging through everything to find what you are looking for. With a small rotating tray, you can quickly spin it around and grab what you need without ending up with a sore back.

4: Ladders for Towels

Not only will this one help with storage, but it is also very stylish and on-trend. You can find stylish ladders in a huge variety of designs, which is a testament to how popular this particular trend is. You can use a decorative ladder to hold towels near the shower, and it will also make a great drying rack when the towel needs to be hung back up.

Or, if you find a ladder with wider steps, it could be used near your bathroom vanity to hang a hand towel and hold your soaps or maybe even some lotions. The available styles and uses for decorative ladders in the bathroom can accommodate nearly any design.

3: Over the Toilet Storage

One area that can be overlooked in the discussion on bathroom storage is the space above your toilet. We all have likely seen the metal racks that stand around the toilet with shelves above. These can be an excellent and economical choice for those looking for quick and easy bathroom storage solutions. Plus, since this is a non-permanent option, it is great for renters.

However, if you are looking for something a bit more aesthetically pleasing for that area, then you should consider adding floating shelves above your toilet. In this space, floating shelves can be perfect for a decorative basket of toilet paper, folded towels, or maybe even some non-functional decorative items like pictures, seashells, or jars. Today, you can find a wide variety of floating shelf styles and sizes.

These floating shelves are available in wood veneers and thermofoil material. This means that no matter what type of bathroom design you are working on, you will be able to find the right fit.

2: Cut Clutter with Containers

A great way to improve your storage and design is to use your own containers for your bathroom necessities. Whether it is decorative jars or your own dispensers, getting rid of bulky shampoo or soap bottles will help your space open up. Plus, the cohesion of matching bottles will be a great benefit to your design.

However, this can get expensive. Depending on your desired style, decorative containers can get pricey. But, you can also find lots of affordable options that you can personalize with things like monograms and labels. Small personal touches like this can make all the difference in making your bathroom storage not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. Plus, having labeled containers for everything will help your space feel cleaner and more comfortable.

1: Hanging Organizers… Everywhere!

I love hanging organizers in the bathroom. They come in almost any configuration and size that you can think of, which makes them perfect for any spot in the bathroom. On the back of your door, they can be used for all your make-up accessories, brushes, combs, lotion bottles, or whatever you think will be best for your bathroom and routine.

Paired with some S-hooks, small hanging organizers can be used inside your shower as a DIY shower caddy. This could be used for anything from shampoo and conditioner bottles to shaving equipment, or just body wash. shower head shower caddies can sometimes be pricey, so this is a way to create a budget-friendly alternative. If you don’t have a shower rod to hang your organizer from, add one!

You can add a tension rod wherever you have the space in your shower, and instantly create a convenient storage space for all your necessities. If you don’t like the idea of organizers, use hooks and clips to make a clothesline with your various shower products.
