Bathroom storage and organization is an ongoing challenge for everyone. Trying to strike the perfect balance between what looks good and what is practical is the never-ending road for us. In our best effort to help you tackle this challenge, we rounded up our top 5 bathroom storage and organization tips. The best part? They’re pretty easy to implement!

above-toilet

  1. Look Up  This works particularly well in small bathrooms. Often, the only space you have to work with is the space above things—above the toilet, above the medicine cabinet, above the door. So maximize this space by finding the ideal vertical storage piece for your bathroom. PRO TIP: Go for something with completely open shelving for each grabbing.

magnetic-stip

  1. Make It Stick  Often times, the thing we need most desperately in the bathroom is nowhere to be found because it’s tiny and gets lost easily. For things like nail clippers, tweezers, scissors, and bobbi pins…make them stick with a magnetic strip! PRO TIP: Keep the magnetic strip at waist level so it’s easy to take from and put back.

drawer-segments

  1. Break It Up  Everyone has that “go-to” drawer where they keep just about everything. Problem is, that drawer fills up fast. Make your life so much easier by simply segmenting the drawer. That way, nothing gets lost. PRO TIP: choose organizers that take up the entire drawer. Any left over space will become the “black hole” where everything seems to fall into…exactly what you want to avoid!

under-sink-organize

  1. How Low Can You Go Nothing is more frustrating than precious, wasted space. Don’t neglect the under-sink by just keeping cleaning products there. Measure the space and find just the right shelves or drawers to use to optimize the space. PRO TIP: You can find custom under-sink organizers pretty easily online nowadays, but measuring is key!

use-the-door

  1. Right Behind Ya Most people hand towels on the bathroom door…but only on part of it. Maximize the back of the bathroom door by installing two or three towel bars. PRO TIP: Spread the towel bars according to use and ease of reach. For example, if you can’t reach the top of the door, don’t hang your face towel there.
