Is your bathroom a disaster area? I know mine used to be. Toiletries and make up all over the back of the sink. The medicine cabinet a mess of disorganized bottles, creams, and ointments. The cupboard under the sink crammed to the spilling point with toilet paper rolls and anything that wouldn’t fit elsewhere. Am I right?
Recently, though, I’ve gotten very excited about coming up with different bathroom storage ideas. Now, I’m not talking about major bathroom remodeling here. What I’m talking about can be accomplished with a simple visit to Lowe’s or Home Depot, along with a free afternoon and a little inspiration from Martha Stewart!
One of the best bathroom storage ideas that I’ve come across recently involves, not remodeling, but simply rethinking your bathroom design. If you have room, you can put in recessed shelves that can tastefully store and display everything from your makeup to some decorative knick-knacks. And if you want to keep your toiletries out of sight, you can always put in recessed cupboards and cabinets.
If even that sounds like more work than you want to tackle, then start by thinking small. How can you maximize the space that you already have? One idea is to reorganize the space underneath your bathroom sink. Everyone has a cupboard down there, but most people just throw things in there until it’s an unorganized mess. Instead, have you considered getting a few small storage boxes and labeling them? If you make them all of one uniform size and shape, then you will also be able to stack them. Put the boxes containing items that you don’t use much toward the back, with the boxes containing more commonly used items toward the front for easy access.
