The following small bathroom organization ideas explain how you can organize your bathroom. Make your family stay organized by using the following simple bathroom storage techniques.

Make The Most of Closet Space

Small items like medicines or nail supplies are most difficult to be contained properly and are often very difficult to be found when needed. Therefore, if you are lucky enough to have a closet in your bathroom then why not use plastic over-the-door shoe organizer? It will make your items easily visible and accessible whenever you need them. However, never forget to store medicines out of the reach of children.  Or you can install a small shelving unit on the back of the closet door, like you can see in the photo above. It depends on your needs and your space.

You can also use a few bins on the closet shelves to organize things like cleaning supplies or toiletries. See photo above for organizer bin examples.

Dirty laundry and wet towels can easily convert your well designed bathroom into an eye sore. Therefore, if you install a laundry hamper inside the washroom closet, your spouse, children and you yourself can present no excuse when it comes to cleaning and clearing things. These can be hidden away in the closet.

Use Coordinated Accessories On Countertops

Ideally, your countertops should be kept as clear as possible. This makes it easier to clean them on a regular basis. For items that will be on the counter, try using coordinated decorative holders that will tie things together and look nice. You may wish to store a few items you use frequently (like q-tips) in glass jars placed on countertops. They will not only serve the decoration purpose but will always be in easy reach as well.

Bathroom Counter Organizer

Bathroom organizers provide extra storage to you making your bathroom organized, clutter-free, and more visually appealing. They are a great way to organize a small space.

How To Organize Under your Bathroom Sink: Clear Drawer Storage

For under the sink storage, you may want to add a small set of plastic drawers to help organize part of the vertical space. Small items like hairbrushes, hair ties, curling irons and hair dryers can really tangle things up and cover a lot of storage area. In order to overcome the problem, it is a great idea to allocate a section to each item a cabinet or closet shelf. Consider using plastic organizer drawers for functionality and aesthetics like the one above (affiliate link). The work well in the linen closet or bathroom cabinets. These clear containers make it easier to find what you are looking for. The mini bathroom drawers also work great under the sink, or even on the bathroom countertop.

Free Standing Open-Shelf Cabinet

If your bathroom is devoid of any storage space, you should consider placing an open-shelf cabinet in the bathroom. You can easily keep untidy bottles out of sight in the lower shelves. Use upper shelves to place things that you want to keep out of reach of tiny hands or that you want to display because they are pretty like folded linens or pretty decoration. This type small bathroom furniture can be placed on each side of short countertops. Or similar furniture exists for over the toilet storage if your bathroom space is more suited to that.The photo above shows a great option for a bathroom storage unit with open shelving on top for attractive things like towels and closed cabinet drawers for things you may not want as visible.

Storage Above the Tub

Soap and other bath items are also very challenging to store properly in the bathroom. Therefore, keeping them right above the tub is the perfect storing solution as it will not only make bathroom cleaner, you can easily access them while you are bathing. You can get an over the tub organizer or bathroom shower organizer for your bathing items.

Install a Magazine Rack

A magazine rack installed directly above the tank of the toilet can totally transform your dull bathroom into something spectacular. It will give the room a cleaner look by freeing up the space above the tanks making your bathroom look spacious. Add a couple of magazines or a nice looking book.

Conclusion

Organizing your bathroom can make it more functional and aesthetically pleasing. Start by removing items that you don’t use or need. Dispose of expired medications, empty containers, and old toiletries. Group similar items together. For example, keep all toiletries, hair care products, and cleaning supplies in separate categories. Use baskets or bins to corral smaller items like makeup, skincare products, or hair accessories. Also, consider drawer organizers to keep items neat and easily accessible. Furthermore, you may wish to install shelves or cabinets for towels, toilet paper, and larger items.
