Bathroom Tips to Organize and Maximize Storage 

Having a disorganized bathroom can make getting ready in the morning stressful and frustrating. Trying to find the right product in an overly cluttered space might even cause anxiety.

To help you out, we’re sharing a list of easy bathroom storage tips. Whether you’re dealing with limited space or have an abundance of it, make your bathroom a simple space and your morning ritual a breeze.

To organize your bathroom and become a storage pro, the first step is to get familiar with all your products. Dive into the depths of your cabinets and get familiar with every product and part of your bathroom storage – especially those that you haven’t seen or used in a while.

For some, a cluttered space can cause a cluttered mind. By clearing up and organizing your bathroom, you can give yourself the added benefit of a mental boost and make your bathroom the sanctuary it should be. Below, you’ll find a step-by-step process to getting organized:

Sort Through Your Products 

Getting up close and personal with your products is essential. By sorting through your products, you’ll give yourself the opportunity to donate any that you won’t use and throw out any that are expired.

Clear the Counters 

The bathroom counter is an area that constantly needs to be cleaned. From make-up to skincare products and hair tools, the sink and counter is probably the space that becomes messy the fastest.

A great tip from professional organizer and co-founder of Done and Done Home, Ann Lightfoot is to wipe down your counter during this process. It’s likely that some soap scum or product residue has gotten onto your counter. After placing your products back where they belong, clean up any gunk and leave your counter sparkling clean.

Plus, cleaning your counter regularly will also force you to keep track of empty or expired items, clearing them away frequently.

Let’s dive a little deeper.

Whether you’re dealing with limited storage space or ample space, using it wisely is guaranteed to make your life easier.

Your cabinets likely store multiple products like haircare, skincare, body care, towels, toilet paper, and cleaning products.

By grouping your products before storing them, you’ll make them easier to find.

A tiered organizer is one of the best bathroom storage hacks if your cabinets don’t have shelving. If your cabinets do have shelving, try using bins or baskets to help keep your bathroom neat.

If you’re a fan of labelling, break out your label maker to clearly label your cabinets. This can also be organized per family member, which can be helpful if each person uses different products.

For the best drawer organization use the same hack as you did in your cabinets by breaking up the space. Using acrylic containers in different sizes or wooden drawer dividers will keep your items separate and neat.

Additional bathroom storage is a lifesaver and a game changer when it comes to organization and decluttering. And these days there are so many options to choose from. Some of the best bathroom organization tools you can invest in are:

Using these might open your eyes to new ways to use your space but remember you don’t have to buy all of them. It's best to stick to what meets your spatial needs. When it comes to using your space wisely, it’s time to get creative, if there’s an empty space above your toilet or behind your bathroom door, use it.

Utilize Over-The-Door Space 

The back of your bathroom door can easily be an overlooked storage space. Not just for privacy, your bathroom door offers you tons of extra storage space. Need somewhere to hang your robe or towels? Add some self-adhesive hooks or a hook rack to store these items. And if your hooks can carry the weight, you can even add a hanging organizer to one of them to give yourself the space to store extra towels.

Utilize Over-The-Toilet Space 

Over the toilet storage is another great space not to be wasted. This space is crucial when it comes to the storage of one of your most important items, your toilet paper.

Add Towel Hooks 

Great for use by the shower or hung above the sink, towel hooks are any easy way to organize and hang towels.

The shower can easily become overrun with soaps and haircare products. The best shower organizer is a multi-level caddy that allows you to organize your products as well as your loofah and scrubs.

One of the best ways to organize a bathroom is to find good quality storage bins that will be able to withstand the moisture of your bathroom.

By using bins in materials - like rattan or acrylic and plastic - you give yourself a much longer period before having to replace them. Plus, materials like plastic and acrylic are easy to clean if any spills happen.

One of the most important products to always stock up on in your bathroom is toilet paper. Designed to leave you comfortably clean and dry, try the Cottonelle^® Ultra Comfort Toilet Paper.
