Five Simple Bathroom Storage Tricks

With a few clever tweaks, you can gain more storage from your bathroom and cut clutter in this hardworking but often tiny space. This video by Better Homes and Gardens presents five simple bathroom storage tricks.

Here’s how to add more bathroom storage in a few simple steps:

1. Stretch the storage and function of your bathroom prep area by removing cabinet doors from your vanity.

• Add pretty bins and a laundry hamper.
• Add shelves to the spacious cabinet box interior to double up on storage space and fill the bathroom cabinet with extra toilet paper or shampoos.
• For bath towel storage, slip an X-shaped wine bottle cube inside another exposed cabinet box. Roll rather than fold towels for optimal storage.

2. Dedicate a long shallow tray to hairstyling tools. A tray made of metal won’t be in danger of melting as the tools cool on the bathroom counter.

3. Look beyond the vanity and add wall-mounted shelves for additional bathroom storage. Organize items in jars and bins to keep clutter under control.

4. Assign an individual tote to each family member for bathroom accessories. Choose lightweight scrubbable acrylic or plastic and affix adhesive name labels. If you sort bath necessities in individual totes, choose bins in the same size and coordinating colors or patterns for a pleasing look and easy storage.

5. Save space by lifting your dental care items off the countertop. Stash them in a wall-mounted container such as a holder made for kitchen utensils.
