Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I organize a small bathroom with no storage?
When you have no built-in cabinets or closets, you have to create your own storage. Focus on using vertical and unused spaces. A tall, narrow shelving unit or a slim rolling cart can add a significant amount of storage. Install floating wall shelves above the toilet for towels and baskets. Use an over-the-door organizer for toiletries or linens. Look for adhesive caddies to stick inside the shower or on a tiled wall. The key is to think beyond the floor and utilize the walls and doors.
What is the best way to store towels in a small bathroom?
Bulky towels can eat up a lot of space. The best method is to roll them tightly instead of folding them. Rolled towels can be stored more compactly in a basket on the floor, on a wall-mounted shelf, or in an over-the-toilet shelving unit. For daily-use towels, install hooks on the wall or the back of the door instead of using a towel bar. Hooks allow towels to dry better and take up less wall space than a traditional bar.
How can I make my bathroom countertop look less cluttered?
The secret to a clutter-free countertop is to be ruthless about what lives there. The only items on your counter should be things you use multiple times every single day. For most people, this is just hand soap, a toothbrush holder, and perhaps one other daily item like face wash or lotion. Corral these items on a small, decorative tray. The tray creates a visual boundary that makes the items look like a deliberate arrangement. Everything else should be stored away in its designated, labeled home in a drawer or cabinet.
