A small bathroom can be practical and comfortable if every object has its place. You do not always need to renovate it or buy new furniture: many times it is enough to make better use of the available space and eliminate what you do not use.
1. Start by removing the unnecessary
Take the products out of the drawers and shelves and group them by categories: hygiene, personal care, cleaning and spare parts.
Check dates and condition of products. Dispose of the appropriate ones following the instructions on their container and keep only what you really need.
2. Take advantage of the space under the sink
If you have a cabinet under the sink, use boxes or dividers to organize products by type.
Before introducing accessories, check that they do not hinder access to pipes nor interfere with possible leaks. Do not store moisture-sensitive products in places where they can get wet.
3. Use wall height
Shelves can help you take advantage of walls when floor space is limited.
Install them safely and avoid placing them where they can hit your head or interfere with movement. On tiled walls, use a fixing system suitable for the material.
4. Keep the countertop clear
Leave at hand only the products you use daily. The rest can be stored in drawers, boxes or cabinets.
A clear countertop makes cleaning easier and makes the space look more organized.
5. Organize shower products
Use a shower-compatible organizer to keep shampoo, gel and other frequently used products together.
Make sure the accessory is well secured and does not interfere with faucets, doors or circulation inside the shower.
6. Take advantage of the inside of doors
Door organizers can serve to store light accessories, such as brushes or small hygiene products.
Check that the door closes correctly and that the weight does not damage the hinges.
7. Choose easy-to-clean accessories
Organizers should facilitate order, not create new corners difficult to maintain. Look for materials suitable for humid environments and clean accessories regularly.
Avoid accumulating unnecessary containers that can retain water or dirt.
8. Maintain a simple routine
Spend a few minutes each week returning products to their place, cleaning surfaces and checking if there are empty containers.
If a shelf keeps getting disordered constantly, maybe you need to change the distribution instead of buying more accessories.
