Organize A Bathroom

Tiny bathrooms require organization


Keeping a bathroom organized presents many challenges. First, everyone in the house uses the bathroom to take care of a wide variety of personal needs. This means you need to keep a lot of personal hygiene and grooming supplies on hand and accessible for different family members. At the same time, the bathroom is probably the smallest room in your house, with very little space for storage. This makes it even more difficult to keep your bathroom organized, neat and attractive looking. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


Cleaning


1. Clear the bathroom area and clean.


Remove all items from counters, drawers, cabinets, tub and shower area, and give the bathroom a complete cleaning.


2. Sort through the items, and properly dispose of unneeded, broken and out-of-date items.


3. Free up bathroom space by relocating items.


Relocate any items that you can store conveniently in another area of the home to free up bathroom space.


Hidden Spaces


4. Make use of containers to hold and hide bathroom items.


Install organizers in cabinets and drawers to make bathroom items easy to find and keep them out of sight.


5. Sort needed items by type and function, and put them into containers or dividers.


6. Store the sorted items, paying attention to the safety of other people who will be using the space.


Additional Storage


7. Attach attractive yet functional shelving units to bathroom walls. Make sure the shelving units are sturdy enough for their intended purpose of adding storage space while giving the bathroom an uncluttered look.


8. Install hooks on walls and behind the door to create additional hanging storage space for damp towels and clothing, bathrobes and other items so they are not on the floor or otherwise adding to bathroom clutter.


9. Install waterproof shower caddies to organize and store shampoos, conditioners, soaps and other items within easy reach.
