Top 10 DIY Bathroom Storage Solutions

Bathrooms are usually the smallest and busiest rooms in the house.  If you are getting ready in the morning all at the same time, the bathroom can easily get cluttered and get you off to a bad start. Since this is where you clean up, it’s only fitting that you try your best to make it your house’s cleanest space.

That means no countertop clutter, floor towels, or scattered rogue electronics and wires. Fortunately, every bathroom is easily reorganized, and just a few steps away from a cleaner, more organized look.

Give all a home and keep your daily essentials at your fingertips using simple bathroom storage items: makeup, cleaning supplies, extra linen, and anything you can think of can find its place with no bigger effort.  There are tons of ideas and tutorials that can inspire you to use every free space in your bathroom. All you need is some goodwill and good tools.

Although some of these appeals to different styles and rooms, there is one thing in common with each and every one of these space-saving tricks: they make the most of vertical spaces. Over the door, in the toilet, and under the sink, bring in cabinets, shelves, and other organizers and turn your bathroom into a mighty room.
