Room by Room - Bathroom Organizations

This post will be the first post of an ongoing collection called Room by Room. These posts will provide organizational ideas for individual rooms including bathrooms, living rooms, kitchens, closets, etc. If you want ideas for a specific room let me know in the comments or vote to the right!

Now for Organizing you Bathroom...



Add hooks for brushes - place hooks on the inside of cabinet to hang brushes, hand mirrors, hair driers and straighteners. Alternatively, you could use a basket or PVC piping.






Add open shelves - this provides easy access to the things you use everyday but keeps your counter clean. Look for bare spaces above the toilet, sink and towel racks.







Use stacking containers or storage drawers under the sink - this will let you organize your bathroom goodies by purpose and makes everything easily visible. They are also simple to take out if you need a closer look.







Get a medicine cabinet - if you don't have one, get one. They are easy to install and add extra storage. If you are renting, ask your landlord - I have learned very few landlords say no to renter supplied leasehold improvements.






Place a magnet strip on the inside of the medicine cabinet - once the medicine cabinet is installed, buy some sticky backed magnet strips and adhere them to the inside of the door. This way you can hang up small metal things like bobby pins and nail clippers.







Place towel rack or hooks on the back of your door - by doing this, you can save the limited wall space for shelves








 Install spice racks - buy wall mounting spice racks and install them by the sink. They are great for items like makeup and cleansers as well as medicine and small first air supplies.








Hang a plastic shoe organizer on the inside of a closet door - The gives you easily accessible storage for cleaners, shampoos and other bottles products.







 Install shelving around your pedestal sink - this will provide you with the under the sink storage you are lacking. If you can't afford to buy a cabinet like this one, build your own or place inexpensive shelves/drawers on either side.







Label everything - once you have your bathroom organized, label baskets containers and drawers so that everyone is sure to put things back where they came from!

  1. Case turned some old skids into shelving for our bathroom and living room - was really easy to do and it looks like we spent a lot of money on it ;) also mason jars are the best for storing makeup brushes, Q tips etc. We installed them to our bathroom skid turned medicine cabinet to hold these items and they are not only functional but also give it a fun hipstery look! Love the blog Marie!
