5 Tips for Organizing Your Bathroom

March 21, 2014 12:02 pm

It’s one of the most-used rooms in your home, which is probably why it's so difficult to keep a bathroom spic and span. Stop fighting through a mess of toothbrushes, damp towels, beauty supplies, and crumbling bars of soap and vow to get your bathroom organized with these five brilliant tips.

  1. Tackle that medicine cabinet. Because medicine cabinets have shelves, many of us use that as an excuse to overstuff them with loose products. Take everything out, clean those shelves with an all-purpose cleaner, and add a few bins or small jars to keep loose items organized.
  2. Keep towels off of the ground. Add a basket on the floor to keep a surplus of damp towels from accumulating on the floor.
  3. Divide drawers. Just because your sink has three drawers doesn’t mean they can only accommodate three types of products. Divide your drawers by using drawer organizers to split things up in more than the allotted ways.
  4. Make use of the garbage can. It’s safe to say that we all have a few items in the bathroom that are expired or unused. Go through all of your beauty products, soaps, shampoos, and medicines and pitch those outdated items.
  5. Add affordable storage. If you notice that you’re lacking the proper storage for certain items, make it yourself. Overturned wooden crates or decorative baskets are attractive examples for holding clean towels or toilet paper rolls.
