Declutter and organize first
Before deciding to add more storage to your bathroom cabinet, it’s important to declutter and organize your current items. Many of us tend to hold on to expired or unused products, which take up unnecessary space. Take the time to sort through everything and only keep what you actually use. Organize your items based on frequency of use and category, such as hair products, skincare, and makeup.
Utilize vertical space
If you have limited horizontal space in your bathroom cabinet, consider utilizing the vertical space by adding slide-out baskets or shelves. This allows you to stack items on top of each other without losing visibility or access. Another option is to install a tension rod or hanging basket on the inside of the cabinet door to store items like hair tools or cleaning supplies.
Consider shelf risers and drawer dividers
Shelf risers and drawer dividers are great tools for maximizing space in a bathroom cabinet. Shelf risers allow you to stack items while still being able to see everything, while drawer dividers keep items separated and organized. These items are typically inexpensive and can be found at home goods stores or online retailers like Amazon.
Mount additional shelving or cabinets
If you have extra wall space in your bathroom, consider mounting additional shelves or cabinets to store your items. This not only frees up space in your existing cabinet but also adds a decorative element to your bathroom. Be sure to measure the wall space and choose shelving or cabinets that fit the dimensions.
Invest in a freestanding storage solution
If you’ve exhausted all other options and still need more storage, consider investing in a freestanding storage solution like a small linen cabinet or a narrow shelving unit. These items can be placed outside of the bathroom or in a closet and can hold additional items like towels or cleaning supplies. Look for options that fit the style of your bathroom and provide ample storage space.
