Bathroom Ideas

s your bathroom feeling a little cluttered? Maximising your bathroom’s storage is essential for creating an organised, and relaxing space. 

Here are some clever and easy ways to make the most of your bathroom storage:

1. Look Up and Around

The top third of most bathroom walls sits completely unused. A slim cabinet above your toilet (30cm deep works perfectly) stores bulky items like toilet rolls and cleaning supplies out of sight. For smaller walls, magnetic strips neatly hold metal items like tweezers and nail scissors while keeping them dry and visible.

2. Furniture That Works Properly

Open shelves in vanities often become dust collectors where items get lost and disorganised. Try to choose vanity designs with proper drawers that fully extend instead. Adding quality drawer dividers creates dedicated sections for makeup, medicine, and dental care. 

3. Sort Out That Under-Sink Nightmare

Pull-out storage is the secret weapon for under-sink areas. Cabinet organisers with sliding drawers make awkward spaces work brilliantly. Consider compact bathroom organisers that fit neatly around basin pipework. Clear containers let you see everything at once, eliminating duplicate purchases of products you already own.

4. Use Every Awkward Corner

Those odd spaces in bathrooms offer hidden potential. The gap between your shower and wall becomes valuable real estate with a tall basket organiser that fits perfectly into tight spaces. That narrow space beside your toilet is perfect for an ultra-thin cabinet designed specifically for these overlooked spots. 

5. Door Storage That Actually Stays Put

The best over-door storage options feature both top hooks AND bottom stabilisers to prevent annoying swinging. These turn your door into premium storage space for hairdryers, straighteners and towels without the wobbling and falling of standard hangers.

6. Weekend Project: Medicine Cabinet Refresh

A quick 30-minute cabinet refresh works wonders. Remove everything, discard expired products (mascara only lasts 3 months once opened), and group remaining items by use rather than size. Position daily essentials at eye level, occasional items higher up, and rarely used items below for a system that maintains itself.

Implementing just one of these ideas this weekend creates immediate improvement in how your bathroom looks and functions.
