The key to smoother mornings and more relaxing evenings is a well organized bathroom. Utilizing unique storage solutions allows you to improve functionality and space to your powder room. Read on to find out how to bring order to your shelves, vanity drawers, countertop and under-sink area.
Keeping an orderly bathroom is much simpler when you’ve designated storage locations for your bath and beauty products. Floating or open shelves add a modern touch over traditional style cabinetry. Everyday toiletries could be stored on them — including lotions, toothbrushes, shaving creams and towels. Over-the-toilet and corner shelves also make great use of blank wall space. However, if you choose to store items above the commode, it’s best to get in the habit of keeping the toilet seat closed. This prevents toiletries from falling inside and minimizes contamination risks.
A vanity drawer could quickly turn into a never-ending pit of junk without a touch of organization. Consider dividing the space using office supply containers, bowls, silverware holders or small baskets. This lets you keep items such as hair styling products, deodorant and grooming accessories organized and in their own place. Drawer dividers may also help simplify your morning makeup search. You won’t have to dig for your favorite eye shadow or mascara when all of the products are in one designated place.
The under-sink area is the ideal spot for products that aren’t used often. It’s best to keep the first-aid kit, plunger and cleaning supplies tucked behind cabinet doors and out of sight. Gather cleaners and tools in a small caddy or two-tiered organizer that doubles on storage to maximize space. You may also want to keep a trash can out of sight by attaching it to the cabinet door underneath the vanity.
It doesn’t matter if your bathroom is big or small, these savvy storage ideas could help you add space and stay organized. For more ways on how to designate storage locations for items, see the accompanying infographic.
