Bathroom Storage Tips

We would all love a bigger bathroom, but sometimes you need to make the most of what you have. There is a lot to store and limited space, so you are going to have to get creative with it. More storage does not have to mean less style. In fact, it means the complete opposite.

Wall Cabinets 

Your bathroom floor space is getting crowded, so it is time to start using your walls. The wall cabinet helps kill two birds with one stone, it gives your bathroom another decoration, and it helps keeps things organized, what is better than that?

Storage Tower

The tower gives you an opportunity to store towels in a more unique fashion. After you have selected the perfect assortment of towels, roll them up and order them in their compartments at your discretion. Now gaze upon your beautifully organized, multi-colored, towel tower! 

Wicker Storage Baskets 

If there is some free space on top of your cabinets or underneath your sink, don't let it go to waste. Head down to the local craft store and select the wicker storage baskets that suit your bathroom the best. Once you get them home, fill each basket with some of those seldom used items and stow them away. You don't want them to be too noticeable, just enough to add a vintage look. 

Vanity

If you are using a standalone sink, this could completely revolutionize your bathroom's style and storage. Most vanities come with three separate storage areas equipped with all sorts of shelves and compartments. But the perks of a vanity are not limited to only storage, the endless backslpash and counter options will leave you playing designer throughout the whole process. This addition is sure to catapult your old bathroom into the one you always imagined.

Cleaning Out Your Bathroom Cabinets

Do you find yourself hanging onto things just because they cost too much to throw away? Does it take far too long to find the toothpaste and toothbrush in the morning? If you answered yes to either of those questions, it might be time for some cabinet cleaning. Getting rid of those seldom used products will simplify the morning routine and make your life much easier.

Follow these steps to achieve a perfectly clean and organized bathroom cabinet:

1. Empty it out
You can’t clean what you can’t see. Emptying out your bathroom storage will allow you to see what you need and don’t need. Separate like items into groups so that when you put them back in, you will know where they are.
2. Be honest with yourself
Sometimes foolish pride makes us hold on to items that we haven’t used in months. If that $50 lotion wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, there is no sense in hanging onto it to convince yourself it was a good investment. The truth is, emergency items are the only things that should remain in your cabinet without frequent use.
3. Check the date on medication
When you are in the process of cleaning, be sure to check the dates on all over-the-counter and prescription drugs. The last thing you want is to need some pain relief and find out that your Advil is long past due.
4. Organize to make it last
This is where grouping the like items will come in handy. Designate one shelf for hair care items, another shelf for toothpaste and toothbrushes and build from there. Once your cabinet is all neat and organized, it might be a good idea to decorate the cabinet and add some flare. It might sound stupid, but decorating your cabinet will leave you more inclined to keep it clean.

Organization can only do so much, sometimes you might just need more space. If your bathroom makeover requires new plumbing fixtures, contact Nassau Plumbing and Sewer Rooter.
