You spend hours organizing bathroom accessories, brushes, care products, and washcloths. You even buy special bags for each item. But, you have to admit that the process can be rather exhausting. To help you make your bathroom organization tasks less tedious, here are seven ways on how to make the job less daunting.

7 Bathroom Organization Tips

Create Space For Each Item 

First, know where you have to put items. If you think you might end up misplacing something, write it down so you can find it easily. If you’re living with kids, you might want to get creative and add funny sticker notes to label where each item goes. 

It would also help if you have color-coded bins and containers to indicate which is for which purpose. That way, you won’t accidentally put something in the wrong place. Remember to always prioritize storage space over look-ism. After all, you will want your storage space to be free of dust, debris, and moisture so it won’t look gross or messy. 

There are many storage items in the market but to maximize space, you should consider using over the toilet storage. This makes use of the space above your toilet bowl plus it is very accessible.

Eliminate Clutter 

The next thing to do when organizing your bathroom is to eliminate clutter. How to do this? First, remove all items from their storage spaces and put them in a clean bucket. Then go over each item one after the other to make sure you still need them. 

By doing this you would discover empty containers or multiple containers of the same products you’ve bought in the past. Do away with expired products or those that are not needed. Repeat this process for towels and also bulky bathroom items stored in your restroom. The key is making sure only valuable and useable products are left. 

Speaking of storage, If you are like most people, your drawers, cabinets, and boxes are filled with various items such as toilet paper, body lotion, makeup, soaps, shampoos, and other personal care products.

If you have never tried storing all of this product in one place before, it can be overwhelming. Consider purchasing a shoe rack, chest, or corner shelf so you can easily reach products that are used often.

Make Use Of Containers With Lids

Once you’ve cleared away clutter in your storage space, you may want to consider purchasing a small container to put items in. This will serve as a place to store items that are frequently used, yet will not go in the storage space. Think of a decorative container to match the decor in the bathroom.

A colorful storage container can brighten up a bathroom or you can just go for one with neutral colors. If you have kids at home, you can find ways to label the lids so they’ll remember where to find an item they need to use. 

Use Baskets and Bins 

Another tip for organizing bathroom accessories is buying baskets or bins. These come in handy for keeping hand sanitary products such as towels. For instance, you can place a few baskets on countertops in the bathroom and keep the rest right outside your door. This makes it easy to grab what you need and throw it away.

There are many types of baskets to choose from, so you are sure to find one that will work in your bathroom. Many people place soap bars, towels, face washes, toothpaste, razors, shaving gel, and deodorant in one basket.

These products should be separated into separate baskets for bathroom and kitchen use. Make sure you purchase baskets that have dividers or compartments to prevent water damage to your bathroom floors.

Create A Storage Unit Outside Your Bathroom 

Finally, if you have the budget, you could consider building a storage unit outside your bathroom. This will save you both time and money since you won’t have to go shopping for supplies every week. 

However, many people find storage units to be tedious and difficult to use but they can be incredibly useful. Apart from bathroom supplies, you can use your external storage unit to store other household items you buy in bulk. 

Use Floor Mats

Bathrooms that have hardwood floors often benefit the most from organizing bathroom items. This is because bathroom floors often become messy and stained. In order to avoid bathroom floor stains, it is important to purchase a floor mat.

Seek Professional Assistance

If you feel like your bathroom needs a little more work than these techniques provide, you should consider hiring a professional cleaning service. Professional bathroom cleaners know how to efficiently organize your space and make it look great. There are many services that offer this type of service. Talk to your friends and family and ask if they would recommend a good company.

Conclusion

Regardless of the way you decide to go about organizing bathroom items, be sure to take a little time in planning and preparation. If you are working with a small area, plan ahead on how you will go about utilizing the space you have. Your organized and clutter-free bathroom will be well worth the time and effort you put into it.
