Whether or not homeowners admit the real amount of time they spend in their bathroom, it’s one of the most important rooms in a home. Not only is your bathroom responsible for providing a space to prepare yourself for the world each morning, but it’s also often the place where you recover. Because of this, the bathroom is one of the most important rooms to keep clean and organized. Below are some ways to help you keep a well organize bathroom with smart storage ideas.
Towels
One of the biggest challenges is where to keep your towels. With minimal bathroom space, owners often keep their towels in an external linen closet, leaving it out of reach when you step out of the shower. While it may seem unorthodox, a storage shelf which stands on its own around and above your toilet is a great way to obtain instant storage space and an excellent place to store your towels.
The Bathroom Mirror
One of the most important aspects of a bathroom can also become one of the most convenient for storage. If you enjoy regular visits to a hair or beauty salon, then you likely have a range of products that you use in between your appointments. Instead of letting them pile up around the basin, replace your standard mirror with one that opens up to shelves full of storage.
Utilize Your Door
Alongside a hook to hang your towel to dry, install a secondary hook on the back of your bathroom door and hang a shelving rack. Inexpensive and available in a range of options, these provide the perfect space to store larger items such as hair dryers, straighteners, and electric shavers when they aren’t in use.
Shower Storage
On the subject of hanging racks, head to your local bathroom supply store and look for a small set of waterproof shelves which can hang over your shower faucet. These are a great place to keep your body wash, shampoo, and other bottles you may currently have on the floor of the shower. Not only does this give you more space to shower, but it also helps to prevent mold growth.
Toilet Paper
The challenge with storing your toilet paper is that you can only find enough space for one or two rolls. Once these are depleted, you are left in the uncomfortable position of leaving the bathroom to find more. Instead, purchase a small hamper or basket from a craft store and place it under your basin.
Just because you may have a small bathroom doesn’t mean that there isn’t a multitude of potential storage spaces just waiting to be utilized. The next time that you are in your bathroom and become frustrated with clutter, take a look around and see how creative you can get.
