A
bathroom is the most used space and yet terribly ignored part of the house.
Many a times, it’s not given much attention as spending money on a bathroom is the
least priority of many. Well, the good news is you don’t need to spend
extravagantly to make your bathroom look organized, neat and up graded. With
tweaking, creative use of unused items, and little effort you can transform
your bathroom in a relaxing area.
TIP 1:
DECLUTTER
You
can’t get an organized bathroom if you are not ready to let go of the clutter
that has been sitting in the drawers since God knows when. With the mentality
that we might need it someday, we keep on hoarding and that makes it difficult
to put in place a system to keep things organized. It’s the time to say good
bye to expired beauty products, opened bandages and broken tools. Go through
each drawer and for every product decide if it’s to be kept and if it really
belongs to the bathroom.
TIP 2:
CONTAIN IT
Glass
containers are a great way to organize small bathroom items. Every household
has a nice collection of empty glass jars that can be sterilized to designate
places for items like cotton balls, bandages, brushes, rubber bands, bandages,
and other smaller products. Mason Jars can be hanged to the wall to keep the
counter space free.
TIP 3: USE
BASKETS
Organizing
beauty products according to needs in baskets is one of my favorite organizing
hacks. It gives freedom to return to only those products which I need to get
ready in the morning or when it’s time to call it a night. In the morning, when
I have more of makeup steps to follow, my makeup basket keeps everything in
reach. And, at night, when it’s time to pamper my skin, I keep night baskets
handy that holds all the skin care products. Trust me, it saves time, energy
and keeps me from going through all the products just to find the desired
moisturizer. You can also have mini baskets for manicure, pedicure and other relaxation
purposes.
This
is by far the most satisfying trick to organize just about anything. Anyone can
go to market to buy organizing products but only few can think of new uses for
old items lying around the house. For example, if you have a magazine rack that
is lying idle in your garage, put it in use to keep your towels organized. And
what could be cuter than bringing little painted flower pots to the bathroom
counter to organize cotton balls and other smaller items. And, if feeling
excited, turn your towel into a pockets organizer.
TIP 5:
MAKE EVERY INCH COUNT
In
small bathrooms, space is precious. Instead of whining about lack of space,
think of creatively using every possible inch to store bathroom items. I have
seen washrooms that may be smaller in space but looked extremely lavish just
because of inventive way of looking at the whole picture. Have a corner where
free standing toiletry stand doesn’t fit? Let’s use baskets there. Need to place
your jars nice and intact? Turn to counters’ doors. Don’t know where to put
your favorite decorative item? Use flush tank. Bathroom’s countertop is too
small for all the items? Come up with tiered storage.
TIP 6:
ORGANIZE UNDER THE SINK AREA
You
can double the space by effectively utilizing under the sink area. Instead of
making it a place to dump your odds and ends, turn it into a place where
everything finds a blissful home. Properly labeled baskets/containers will
upgrade your bathroom and will bring a smile to your face.
TIP 7:
SHOW IT SOME LOVE EVERY NIGHT
Every night, give your 5-7 minutes to wipe
the countertops, pick up thrown items on floor and put back everything that’s
out of place. Reward? Next morning, you’ll be saying hello to a clean bathroom
and getting ready will much easier.
FLOOR IS
YOURS!
What’s your favorite tip to keep bathroom
organized? Do you give it the attention it deserves or does it look untidy? Any
creative tip that you used to add style to this area of house?
