Keeping up with cleaning and organizational tasks can be cumbersome, especially with a busy schedule. Organizing rooms requires a plan and knowing how to maximize space, especially in small areas. Bathrooms can become easily cluttered with all of the items kept on countertops and in cabinets. No matter the bathroom size or if you have one or multiple bathrooms in your home, these convenient tips for organization will help.
Maximizing Storage Space
In most homes, some rooms and spaces can be better organized to increase storage. To increase your bathroom’s storage space, consider adding shelves or cabinets above the towel holder, or next to the sink. These areas are often underutilized and can provide ample room for storing toiletries and other essentials.
Invest in storage bins or baskets to keep miscellaneous items organized in cabinets and drawers. If they aren’t daily-use items, store them in hidden stowaway storage areas such as a linen closet. Labeling the bins and any storage boxes is always a great idea to make items easy to locate.
Decluttering Your Countertops
A cluttered countertop can make your bathroom look messy and disorganized. Start by removing non-essentials and putting them in dedicated storage spaces. Consider separating daily-use items on the countertop by using small decorative storage boxes to easily find what you need without other items in the way.
Use trays or small containers to corral frequently used items like toothbrushes, soap, and lotions. This not only keeps them accessible but also creates a tidy and streamlined appearance and keeps these items more sanitary. In bathrooms opting for multi-functional baskets or a drawer insert divider can significantly increase storage space and keep areas organized.
Utilizing Vertical Space
Vertical space is often overlooked in bathrooms. Install hooks or racks on the back of the door for towels, robes, and hair-styling appliances. If you have a linen closet, you can utilize that space by installing a vertical shelf that securely fits. This will help make shelf items easier to find.
Wall-mounted shelves or cabinets are a great option to store items like toilet paper, soaps, towels, and decorative pieces. Using vertical shelves can also create a more open look than other shelving does, all while keeping your bathroom organized and visually appealing.
Maintaining an Organized Bathroom
Keeping your bathroom organized requires regular maintenance. Set aside a few minutes each week to tidy up and put items back in their designated places. Establish a routine for decluttering and cleaning to ensure your bathroom remains a serene and organized space.
Do a routine monthly purge by checking for expired products or items not used for a long time, and dispose of them appropriately and safely. When you make organization a habit, and keep things in easy-to-find spots, you’ll save a surprising amount of time.
Smart Solutions for Small Spaces
Bathrooms aren’t the only room that could benefit from detailed organizing. During routine cleaning, check closets, laundry rooms, and other small rooms for clutter. Follow these tips to keep small spaces organized throughout your entire home.
