4 quick and successful organizing tools our editors love using in their bathroom
1. Shower caddies
As one of the things organized people have in their bathrooms, Homes & Gardens home tech editor Dan Fauzi uses a shower caddy to avoid any bathroom organizing mistakes, which are an affordable addition that can completely transform your bathroom.
'I swear by these YASONIC 5-Pack Corner Shower Caddy shower shelves available at Amazon to keep everything neatly organized,' they say. 'I live in a shared house, so being able to keep everything separate and off the ground makes all the difference,' away from common types of household mold that often grow in the dampness of a shower.
'Plus, this set from YASONIC is rust-proof and requires no drilling! Perfect for renters,' they add.
Head of Solved, Punteha van Terheyden, also found adhesive bathroom shelves were the perfect organizational solution for her tiny en suite.
This bathroom shower caddy has 4 removable hooks, a razor and toothbrush holder, soap dish and 12 additional, fixed hooks. It also has a high load-bearing capacity, and can hold up to 40 lbs of toiletries.
This corner standing caddy is designed with a bronze-finish and a rust-resistant coating. The metal wire racks allow for water drainage, to keep your products secure, organized and mold-free.
This hanging shower caddy features two shelves, two hooks and a soap holder. It conveniently fits most shower heads, to keep all your products accessible while you shower and avoid drilling.
2. Revolving organizers
Revolving organizers are often used for organizing spices, and Homes & Gardens ecommerce content director Lindsey Davis loves them for her bathroom, too.
She says, 'Using them in my under sink vanity means nothing is out of reach, and there is still room in the dead space in the corners for taller items and spares.' As they spin, they're perfect to organize a bathroom with too much stuff, as they keep all products accessible.
We recommend the Oizeir Lazy Susan Turntable available at Amazon, which rotate 360-degrees, and are made of clear acrylic to easily see everything you have at a glance.
This acrylic makeup organizer has eight adjustable layers, meaning you can customize it to fit all your products, from makeup brushes to nail polish.
This bamboo makeup organizer rotates on a Lazy Susan base, keeping all your products accessible and in one place, whether you display them on a countertop or put them away in a cabinet.
This sleek, black revolving organizer has six compartments, with stainless steel beads at the base to ensure strong stability even when fully loaded.
3. Free-standing shelving
'I have next to no storage in my bathroom, and no options to install wall storage, a vanity, or shelves,' says Homes & Gardens content editor and renter, Chiana Dickson. Because of this, Dickson's solution is to use a small, freestanding shelving unit next to her sink, to organize her bathroom with no storage.
'An open shelf might seem like a clutter magnet, but having everything on display forces me to keep everything need and tidy, and regularly review what I am using to minimize mess,' to make decluttering makeup and skincare a breeze.
'A small unit helps to keep everything I need beside the sink to organize my morning routine and make getting ready for the day simpler,' she adds.
These come in a variety of sizes to fit any bathroom space, so are great to organize a modern bathroom or to compliment more vintage bathroom ideas.
This freestanding bathroom shelf is made of a strong, high-quality black steel frame with MDF treated for a rustic brown effect. The shelf comes with all the hardware needed for assembly, including accessories, tools, and four feet for enhanced stability.
This freestanding shelving option is great if you have limited vertical space, as its low height means it can be tucked into a corner or beneath a countertop. Guardrails on the edges of the shelves prevent products from falling, whilst the rust-proof, durable metal frame can be wiped clean.
This highly rated free standing shelving unit fits snugly into the corner of your bathroom. It's made of solid teak wood for a luxe, spa-look finish, and is extra durable with rubber, non-slip feet.
4. Under sink cabinets
As the head of Solved here at Homes & Gardens, Punteha van Terheyden is an expert at finding storage solutions for any space. While adding under sink cabinets is more of an expensive addition to your bathroom, they offer a powerful, permanent solution to any storage struggles.
'In my small ensuite bathroom, there isn't too much room for storage,' says van Terheyden. 'I bought an under sink cabinet and it has transformed the space. It has two shelves and makes use of dead space I wasn't doing anything with before.'
When it comes to organizing under the sink, van Terheyden houses all her cleaning supplies and extra shampoos on the bottom shelf, while the top shelf has two fabric boxes (such as the Mainstays Collapsible Fabric Cube Storage Bin available at Walmart) from her old freestanding bathroom drawers. 'My husband has his items in one, and I have mine in the other, meaning there is no clutter over spill,' she explains, so they're great to organize a family bathroom.
Punteha's under sink cabinet in her small en suite has transformed this tiny bathroom
'I live in the UK and bought the Lilypad Elsie Under Sink Unit from Dunelm, which is narrow enough to fit the space, and I love the fluted doors and it's matte sage green color. In the USA, there is a great fluted-front item that looks similar available on Amazon (shown below in black).'
There are mistakes to avoid when organizing a bathroom cabinet, such as failing to categorize items and keeping expired products, so keep these in mind when sorting yours.
All prices correct at time of writing.
This freestanding bathroom cabinet is designed with functional storage in mind, with a large cupboard with pull-out drawers to access all products. It's also quick and easy to assemble, with all hardware needed included.
This bathroom vanity with sink is made of high quality MDF boards, with solid wood feet, soft-closing hinges, and smooth drawer slides. The large storage space is perfect for large items, while the drawers keep smaller products organized.
This gorgeous bathroom vanity looks sleek and luxe, made of high-quality eco-friendly plywood, with a stone counter top. The ceramic basin has a push-down drain, with a pre-drilled faucet hole for easy installation.
