5 Clever Ways to Organize Your Bathroom
An organized bathroom can do wonders for your peace of mind. Many people find that the bathroom has to store a lot of odds and ends but lacks square footage. Maximizing your bathroom storage is key to keeping it tidy and as we know, keeping things in their place can really elevate the visual appeal of a space. If you've been aiming to enhance your bathroom organization, consider these strategies that prioritize both practicality and style.
Utilize Vertical Space
Install shelves or bathroom cabinets on unused vertical wall space to maximize storage.
Consider over-the-toilet shelving units for rolls of toilet paper or wall-mounted cabinets to keep bath supplies, extra tissues, and bath towels organized but accessible for houseguests.
Cabinets or a bathroom cart can be a great option to use the space around pedestal sinks.

Drawer Dividers for Everyday Items
Use drawer dividers to organize bathroom essentials like hair ties, tweezers, first aid items, fingernail clippers, makeup-removing towelettes, and skincare products.
This is also a great spot to put extra items that you don't need now but will need soon: new toothbrushes, extra toothpaste, razors, any bars of soap.
Floating Shelves for Style and Function
Install floating shelves near the vanity for quick access to your frequently used items or above the bathtub for decorative touches and extra storage.
Worried they'll look cluttered? Use shower caddies, wire baskets, or decorative trays to keep your periodically used things like bath oils, bubble bath, and bath salts in one place. They can also hide bulky hair tools like your hair dryer and curling iron.

Under-Sink Storage Baskets
Deep storage baskets or tiered organizers are best for under-sink storage space. Instead of throwing everything into the cabinet only to disappear into the void, corral extra towels, cleaning supplies, extra toiletries, and bath toys so that you know where you have it when you need it.
Tip: These more practical, out-of-sight spots might benefit from your label maker to take the layer of organization up a notch.

Tiered Trays for Countertop Organization
If you have the counter space, put tiered trays or cake stands on your vanity for things you use on a daily basis. This not only adds a touch of elegance but also keeps essentials within reach while maintaining order.
Tip: Keep these trays minimal, perfect for your brushes and daily skincare products. If they're overloaded, they aren't really serving their purpose.
Implementing these clever organization ideas can transform your bathroom into a well-ordered and functional space. Whether you're dealing with a small powder room or a larger master bathroom, these strategies cater to different storage needs while impressing anyone who stops by to visit.
