1. USE BOXES, BASKETS AND BINS
A common problem that occurs with bathrooms of all shapes and sizes is that clutter accumulates. Empty bottles build up, and a mismatch of packaging and brightly colored shampoo and shower gel bottles can look cluttered, littering the room.
2. HIDE THE TRASH CAN
Another item that adds to the feeling of clutter in a small bathroom is the trash can. Overspilling with toilet roll tubes, discarded toothbrush heads, and empty bottles, your bathroom trash can ends up amassing an abundance of unsightly trash that only makes the room feel messy, so organize the space by hiding your trash can out of sight, out of mind.
3. DRAWER DIVIDERS
Organizing a bathroom cabinet is crucial for a managaed space, so declutter those drawers and get on top of with the little space you might have under the basin. The first step is to take everything out and group by category and review. 'Consider putting all extra backup toiletries and medical items in the linen closet,' advises Ben Soreff from H2H Organizing. 'We want items to go in easy and come out easy. There is a difference between where things fit and where they belong. If everything is lined up but tight you simply can't access them.'
4. MAKE THE MOST OF THE DOORS
Make the most of your bathroom doors, using the dead space to your advantage as an extra spot to store your everyday bathroom bits and pieces. 'Use visually pleasing hooks for hanging towels, bathrobes, or other items,' advises Jenni.
5. THINK VERTICALLY
I'm a big fan of bathroom shelving. Walls are so underused but provide valuable space to store all those bathroom necessities, not to mention offering the chance to add a spot of bathroom decor. In this example by Well x Design, the shelves have been cleverly added to the gap between the wall and the shower unit, providing a useful space to store fresh laundry. Alternatively, a narrow storage unit that stretches to the ceiling can work to make the most of the vertical space.
6. FREESTANDING DECORATIVE STORAGE SOLUTIONS
Another place for storage for your soaps, shampoos, and conditioners is a tasteful bath tray, which works well to marry style and practicality. A bath caddy is a simple tray that fits across the top of the bath and is there to hold your bathtime shampoos and conditioners while you soak.
7. REMEMBER SHOWER STORAGE
When it comes to your shower storage, showers that have been fitted with storage niches are a great addition to the space, making use of the wall for a handy space to place shower time necessities. But if you don't have a niche or shelving built into your shower, a caddy is the next best thing.
