Shampoo bottles, makeup tools, lotions, linens and laundry … the bathroom is one of the most frequented rooms in the home, and clutter can collect quickly there.
Stop the chaos before it gets out of control by implementing some smart storage solutions. With these simple ideas, your bathroom will be the most functional and fashionable room in the house.
Streamline shower shelving.
It’s time to say goodbye to hanging racks from shower heads and precarious corner shelving. The new Store+ shower from Sterling has customizable storage accessories, minimizing clutter and ensuring everything you need is close at hand.
Sturdy shelves and accessories are easily snapped into any of eight pre-molded locations within the shower – no tools necessary.
A fully accessorized wall includes four rimmed shelf/soap dishes, two 4-inch deep storage bins, and soap dishes with towel bar and two shower hooks.
Plus, the back wall has molded foot ledges on either side, providing a safe, handy shaving ledge.

Dare to go vertical.
Expand the storage potential of a small bathroom by using vertical storage options. Floor space may be limited, but by installing shelving and other smart storage options on walls, you dramatically increase space for necessities.
For example, floating shelves are an elegant and space-saving option that are easy to install over the toilet or between a mirror and a pedestal sink.
That small space above the door? Perfect for a shelf to store mason jars full of supplies or those beautiful perfume bottles.
Need extra space to store linens and washcloths? Install stacked towel racks on the back of your door or hang baskets on the wall and then place folded linens inside for a tidy look that keeps fluffy towels within easy reach.
Vamp up the vanity.
From shaving and combing to primping and curling, the vanity is center stage for your daily routines. That means clutter can easily take over the countertops and drawers if you’re not careful.
A few thoughtful steps will help you organize and maximize your vanity space.
To start, dispose or donate of any products or tools you don’t use. Then purchase some drawer organizers or reuse small plastic containers to get items in order.
On the inside of doors, install small pieces of PVC pipe vertically to store hair tools and cords. You can also repurpose spice racks on doors to hold a slew of personal products.
For hair accessories or other small metal objects, a magnetic strip on the inside of a door or drawer is amazingly effective.
With these simple storage ideas, you’ll cut clutter, keep spaces clean and never trip over a random bottle or towel on the floor again.
