Breathing Room Organization
Bathroom organization is attainable for all baths, regardless of their size.
However, there are basic organizational principles every bath should follow.
Stylistically these units often look pretty basic.

So another option is to build custom open shelves above the toilet for additional storage.
Doing it yourself provides more of an opportunity to match the shelving with your home decor style.
One bathroom organizing tip to consider is to attempt to keep like items together.

When you use streamlined containerswith an attractive label, everything looks more appealing and put together.
Experiment with a mix of storage containers, baskets, and apothecary jars that work well together.
One way to encourage a minimal approach to bath products is to coordinate your bottles.

Transfer your shampoo and other products into a matching set of bottles.
Plus, a smaller tiered tray would work well for storage on the bathroom counter.
If you do your makeup there, consider attaching some removable storage containers directly to the wall.
The Creativity Exchange
you’re able to either make a custom caddy or purchase ready-made organizers for this purpose.
But that can give off a rather cluttered and unappealing look.
So there are several ways to make this storage spot more attractive.
Pastiche
This extra furniture can be a brand new or custom-built piece.
Or you might also repurpose an old sideboard, armoire, or dresser to suit your needs.
Label each bin with categories, such as skin care, hair care, dental care, and more.

ensure everyone using the bins adheres to their labeled purposes to maintain organization.
Instead, purchase drawer dividers and group like items together to make the drawers functional and appealing storage spaces.
Remember, no two drawers will look alike.

Curate your vanity drawers with commonly used products that make sense for your household.
To save space, you could roll some clean towels and store them on top of the hamper.
Just be sure to keep them neat for a spa-like appearance.

If you have multiple types of items to store, consider adding more than one turntable if space allows.
However, many designers also incorporateladdersinto modern bathrooms for hanging towel storage that maximizes vertical space.
Label each bin, and add dates to items that have an expiration.

That way, you’ll know where everything is, and nothing will go to waste.
Designate a Spot for a Hair Dryer
Not every bathroom needs storage for several hair tools.
However, most bathrooms will contain at least one hair dryer that you’ll have to keep somewhere.

And that can be easier said than done, as hair dryers are generally an odd shape.
The best part is you don’t need to drill any holes to hang it.
Niches in the wall are a great spot to store such toys in a small plastic bin.

Keep Stylish Items on a Tray

Want to add some personality to your bathroom?
Decorate a bathroom countertop with a stylish tray that holds some of your most-loved and visually appealing items.
These should be items that you like looking at and that you also reach for often.

Some products to consider include perfume, makeup brushes, jewelry, and hand lotion.
Create a Shower Caddy With Suction Cups

This bathroom organizing idea is easy and inexpensive.

Once they’re secured, hang lightweight baskets in which to store bath products.
Hook packaging often will list a weight limit.
Resist the urge to layer your oversized drawers with hair styling tools and medicine bottles.

Allow for some excess space, so it’s easier to locate items when you need them.
Ideally, limit these items to aesthetically pleasing products with minimal color to create a clean look.
However, it’s also just as important to get rid of clutter.
Polished Habitat
Resist the urge to fill shelf and drawer space to avoid overcrowding.
Consider adding a simple rack just outside your shower for items like loofahs, sponges, and such.
This is especially ideal for those with freestanding tubs that lack built-in ledges for soap bars and bottles.
The Spruce / Sydney Brown
Instead, think about your storage needs first.
Toss the plastic packaging and make your own DIY toilet paper holder out of rope or yarn.
This storage tip also works for rolled wash rags and hand towels.

If you like keeping backup supplies on hand, consider storing them in a vintage chest.
Choose a relatively sturdy basket, so you don’t accidentally squish the container’s contents.
Use cups or jars to store tampons of various sizes and select a small tray for your pads.
Kate La Vie
If you don’t typically like these storage options, consider a modern look-alike.
If you’d still like a pop of color, add a potted plant.
To organize your bathroom well, you better find appropriate storage solutions for only the items you need.

Once you’ve done so, choose appropriate storage solutions for each category.
Of equal importance, you should get rid of any products or items you don’t use.
