If your bathroom is modest in size, organizing the space properly and providing enough storage space for all the accessories and toiletries can be difficult. In this article we would like to share eight great ideas for organizing small bathrooms.
Use the space above the toilet
This is one area in the bathroom that is often neglected for storage. Placing several open shelves or purchasing a special shelf that can be placed above the toilet can significantly increase your bathroom’s storage capacity. If you are still in the construction phase, you can check with your contractor if he can add several shelves built in with the doors, which will look more elegant and invisible.
Don’t forget the space under the sink
An under cabinet sink is probably the best option for a small bathroom. It always looks elegant and adds a lot of functionality to this space. There are many options on the market and many of them are not very expensive. However, if you have a sink without an under-sink cabinet and you can’t change it (for example, a rental apartment) you can always buy some open shelving racks designed to be placed under the sink. Aside from the drawers, consider adding several open shelves to store towels and baskets.
Store toiletries in baskets
Small hygiene products such as cotton pads and buds as well as other hygiene supplies can be stored in special baskets with lids designed for this purpose. Not only do they look stylish and add decorative aesthetics to the bathroom, but they allow these items to be stored more hygienically.
Make corners functional
Take advantage of all the corners in your bathroom. There are plenty of ready-made solutions including hanging corner shelves for shower cabins. It will allow you to have all your shampoo, conditioner and shower gel on hand and will not take up “useful space” making it difficult to move around inside the compartment.
Use organizers for your drawers and cabinets
Not only does a cluttered drawer look unsightly, but it adds several extra minutes to your morning routine when you’re trying to find the thing you need. Look for an organizer that can fit perfectly on the drawer and make the most of it by placing all the items you need logically and neatly.
Eliminate unnecessary packaging
Many cleaning products and toiletries come in excessive packaging – for example a plastic bottle inside a cardboard box, or large bottles or boxes that are only half full. Instead of storing them as is, purchase special containers that look aesthetically pleasing and help reduce storage space. Many models have waterproof covers that prevent washing powders from getting wet due to moisture.
Add more open shelves
Open shelves are not only a great storage solution but can also be used to decorate your small bathroom. Apart from displaying some of your toiletries, add plants, candles, vases and other decorative objects to make it look attractive.
Add hanging liquid containers
Instead of multiple bottles that often add clutter and look disorganized, consider hanging dispensers and refilling them with shampoo and shower gel. It will add a spa feel to your bathroom and will free up lots of precious space from your shelves and counters.
