Not every home boasts one of those large, spa-like bathrooms you see in glossy home magazines and increasingly all over Instagram. In fact, most homes don’t. Creating a functional and visually appealing small bathroom can be a challenge, especially when it comes to bathroom organization. Which can not only spoil the look and function of your home, but if a cluttered, disorganized bathroom slows you down in the morning, it can ruin your day too.
However, with a little thought and the right bathroom organization strategies, it’s possible to transform a cramped bathroom space into an oasis of calm and efficiency. At Just Organized by Taya, we understand the unique demands of small bathrooms and can offer the following top ten small bathroom organization tips to maximize your space without sacrificing style or functionality.
- Embrace Vertical Storage
Vertical storage solutions can drastically increase your storage capacity without encroaching on your limited bathroom floor space. Consider installing open shelving above the toilet, on empty walls, or over the door. This provides a home for towels, toiletries, and decorative items. Floating shelves are particularly effective, as they add storage without the visual bulk, keeping the space looking and feeling open and airy.
- Utilize Over-the-Door Organizers
An often overlooked storage area is the back of your bathroom door. Over-the-door racks or organizers can hold a wide variety of items, from extra towels to hair styling tools. This tip is especially useful for items you use frequently, as it keeps them accessible but out of the way.
- Invest in Drawer Dividers
Bathroom drawers can quickly become nightmarishly cluttered with all kinds of small items. Drawer dividers allow you to assign a place for each item, making it easier to find what you need and maintain order. Customizable dividers are best, as they can be adjusted to fit your specific items and drawer sizes.
- Choose Multi-Functional Furniture
When bathroom space is at a premium, every piece of furniture should serve multiple purposes. Consider investing in a vanity with built-in storage underneath or a larger mirrored cabinet that doubles as storage and a great make up mirror. These solutions help declutter the space while maintaining essential functionality.
- Opt for Wall-Mounted Fixtures
If you are up for a little bathroom remodeling, wall-mounted sinks, toilets, and even faucets can save valuable floor space, making your bathroom appear larger. This will not only enhance the aesthetic of your bathroom but also make it easier to clean the floors.
- Incorporate Hanging Storage
Hanging storage solutions, like spice racks for the bathroom – or baskets on the walls, can hold beauty products, toiletries, or plants. This is a great way to add storage without bulky furniture. Be creative and repurpose items to fit your bathroom’s decor and your storage needs.
- Use Clear Containers
Storing bathroom items in clear containers accomplishes two things: it keeps similar items together and allows you to see what’s inside without opening every box. This is especially handy for items you don’t use daily but still need to access easily.
- Slim Down Your Bathroom Supplies
A small bathroom forces you to consider what you truly need. Regularly declutter your bathroom, removing expired products or items you no longer use. This not only frees up space but also simplifies your routine.
In the same vein, get out of the habit of buying what you don’t really need. Do you really need four different shampoos, three different conditioners, and every face cream that was on sale at Ulta last week? The chances are good that the answer is no. Stick to buying what you really need, and not only will your bathroom be better organized, but you’ll save money too.
- Add a Towel Ladder
A towel ladder against an empty bathroom wall provides a stylish way to store and display your best towels, saving cabinet space for items that aren’t as visually appealing. It also ensures the towels are dry and ready for use.
- Think Outside the Bathroom
If your small bathroom simply can’t accommodate everything, consider storing less frequently used items in a nearby closet or bedroom. This can include extra toiletries, bulk paper products, or seasonal items. A well-organized caddy can make transporting these items to and from the bathroom a breeze.
Incorporating these tips can turn your small bathroom into a model of efficiency and style. Remember, the goal is to create a space that meets your needs without feeling cluttered or cramped. With thoughtful organization and some creative thinking, your small bathroom can become one of your favorite rooms in the house.
