Keeping an orderly bathroom is much easier when you’ve designated storage locations for your bath and beauty products. Floating or open shelves add a modern touch over traditional cabinetry. Everyday toiletries could be stored on them — including lotions, toothbrushes, shaving creams, and towels. Over-the-toilet and corner shelves also make great use of empty wall space. However, if you choose to store items above the commode, it’s best to get in the habit of keeping the toilet cover closed. This prevents toiletries from falling inside and minimizes contamination. Avoid storing medications on open shelving.

Are toiletries cluttering your countertop? Corral them with a shallow, decorative tray. This keeps necessities such as skin care products, contact cases, perfumes and colognes, and jewelry in sight yet neatly contained. Avoid storing large items such as hair styling tools and bath linens on trays. Elegant glass canisters let you display cotton balls, cotton swabs, and bath salts in a beautiful way. Glass jars are easily accessible, which makes them handy when guests use your bathroom. If you’re looking for a more stylish solution, get creative and hang a row of mason jars on a piece of wood to enhance your décor. They double as small storage containers for cotton swabs and makeup or toothbrushes.

Whether your bathroom is big or small, these savvy storage ideas could help you add space and stay organized.
