Four Clever Ways to Contain the Clutter In Your Bathroom

1. Command hooks

from cosmopolitan.com

Pros:  Command hooks allow us to store things on walls, inside of doors, on the sides of cabinets and bookshelves, keeping things handy, off of counters, and sometimes out of sight.


Cons:  Sometimes they stick well sometimes they don't


TIP: Make sure you follow the directions carefully when putting on a command hook and stick to the weight limits.  We'd even suggest being on the safe-side and getting a weight limit beyond what you need to account for the weight from the force of you putting an item on and off.

2. Baskets

Found on shelleyjacobsendesign.blogspot.ca

Pros: Baskets make a great way for you to hide things that could potentially be unsightly.  It keeps things contained and if you're careful it can keep like items together (body care in one basket hair care in another).


Cons: Because most baskets are deep, the tendency could be to throw many things in them that are not categorized.  Eventually you can begin to lose things in plain site because the baskets become a dumping ground.



TIP: Label your baskets.  Although when you are first organizing it may seem obvious but after day 5 and early in the morning you may momentarily get confused what things go in which basket which can lead to frustration and an eventual disconnect from this way of organizing.

3. GlideOuts

Pros: It allows you to gain access to things that are in deep cabinets and use of your cabinets at two levels.


Cons: If you don't think your needs through correctly you could possibly be stuck with a poor design.


TIP: Think of how you use your things and store items in glide outs to a long-lasting benefit.

4. Shelving

Pros: Keeps things off counter tops and at arms reach.

Cons: Have to be installed; takes up wall space.

TIP: In small bathrooms, use shelving to take advantage of vertical space for storing extra toilet paper, hygiene or cleaning products that would otherwise take up space in cabinets or linen closets.
