Smart Ideas for How to Store Your Extra Bathroom Items

Along with its daily use, the bathroom comes with a lot of stuff—towels, hair products, and more. Most bathrooms aren’t equipped with efficient storage, so utilizing available space is key. Try these ideas:

Do-It-Yourself Storage Solutions 

• Install a wall cabinet. This can be placed over the toilet in a small space or on any convenient wall that puts bathroom items within easy reach.

• Crate shelving serves up chic and effective storage, especially when it’s hung on the wall. Crates can be purchased from a craft store, painted, and utilized to store towels, soap dispensers, toothbrush holders, and more.

• If you have the floor space, a free-standing unit is a great option for bathroom storage. A storage ladder is both workable and stylish, and it can be painted to complement your decor.

• Use floor baskets to store towels and cleaning supplies if space permits. Consider stacking baskets with lids.

Under-the-Sink Organization
For many, bathroom storage lies under the sink. If that’s all the available space, use it wisely and stay on top of clutter.

• Bins are a perfect pick for under-the-sink storage. Purchase bins with plastic dividers that allow for stacking. Stay organized by adding labels, such as “Makeup,” "First Aid,” and “Hair.”

• Hang a pocket organizer that fits on the inside of the cabinet door. Use it to organize small items such as hair accessories and soap.

• Install command hooks on the insides of cabinet doors to hang cleaning tools or other supplies.

• Hang wire baskets on the insides of vanity doors; these are ideal for storing lotion or shampoo. 


Shower Clutter Solutions
When it comes to shower storage, up is best; most organizers attach to the shower nozzle or the wall. Another idea is to hang a mesh pocket organizer on the inside of your shower curtain via the shower rod to store some lightweight items. Use caution, as heavy objects will cause it to fall.
