Containers cut down on clutter.
Bathroom closets store a variety of practical items, from toiletries to towels. Because their important function often takes priority over visual appeal, they can easily become cluttered with empty bottles and piles of small grooming items if not regularly cleaned out. The key to decorating a bathroom closet is organization. If each item has its place, there may be leftover space for a decorative accessory or two, adding a touch of style to a setting of daily routine. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Remove outdated or unnecessary items from the bathroom closet. Medications (which are better kept in a cooler, drier location), empty lotion bottles and old makeup products may be taking up much-needed space. Removing clutter sets the organization process in motion.
2. Take stock of what you have. If possible, categorize items into groups, such as hair accessories, linens and soaps. If more than one person uses the cabinet to secure items, decide if products will be separated according to owner or function.
3. Gather or purchase containers for storage and display. If the priority is visibility, choose clear containers so contents are obvious. Glass apothecary jars may be used to hold uniform items such as cotton balls and swabs. If the priority is a neat appearance, select opaque containers, such as baskets, colorful plastic boxes or metal bins that can easily be pulled out to access products.
4. Label containers that are not transparent. For storage bins that don't include built-in labels or tags, choose decorative labels, such as the adhesive variety. Title the labels with a permanent marker or pen, as labels may need to withstand potential weathering in humid bathrooms.
5. Add a few decorative accessories. Antique glassware filled with soaps or seashells, small ceramic figurines and neatly rolled guest towels give a plush feel to a practical space. Patterned shelf liner (preferably waterproof) can also add underlying style to useful shelving.
