Tips to Keep Your Bathroom Organized
Keep your bathroom organized and clutter-free.
Since the smallest room in most homes is usually the bathroom, it is easy to understand why this is also usually the most cluttered. Finding adequate storage space in a bathroom can be challenging, and means you have find creative ways to find storage for everything. Start by taking an inventory of the storage you do have in the bathroom. Whether you have a cabinet, closet, countertop, just bare walls, you can find ways to maximize your storage in these areas. Below are a few ideas to get you started.
Start by going through all the medicine cabinets and drawers and throw away anything that is out of date, including old makeup. This frees up some space to reorganize your things, as well as getting rid of things that are no longer safe to use.
When you reorganize your drawers, you can add organizer trays. These keep things easy to locate in the drawer and from rolling to the back. Put the things you use most often at the front, and the larger or lesser used items toward the back.
Adding bathroom shelves can provide more storage. There are shelving units that are specially designed to go above the toilet. These are perfect for soaps, shampoos and other bath supplies. Nice baskets can help keep things more organized and look better on the shelf. You can also stack extra towels and washcloths on the shelf.
Cleaning supplies are usually stored under the sink. This area easily gets cluttered and forgotten about as the door gets shut. Instead, try getting a cleaning caddy to keep everything on. They have places for spray bottles, sponges, rags and other supplies. You could even store the supplies with the other household cleaning supplies, leaving more space under the sink for other things, like extra towels and paper products.
By adding hooks to either the back of the door or the wall it helps keep towels, robes and clothes up off the floor. It also helps prevent towels from piling up and getting mildewed.
Countertops are often cluttered. The key is to only have the minimum of things on the counters. If there is something your entire family doesn’t use all the time on the counter, find a new home for it. If you have enough drawers, give each family member their own drawer to put their things in, instead of leaving them on the counter
The bathroom is one of the most used rooms in a house and once it is organized it can still be more difficult to keep the bathroom organized than some other rooms. However, if everyone has a place to store their own things, and makes an effort to keep them in order, it should be much easier.
