A well-ordered bathroom is essential for smoother mornings and peaceful evenings. Utilizing smart storage solutions allows you to add functionality and space to your powder room. Read on to find out how to bring order to your shelves, vanity drawers, countertop and under-sink area.

Keeping an organized bathroom is much easier when you’ve chosen specific storage locations for your bath products. Floating or open shelves add a modern touch over traditional cabinetry. Everyday items 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 toilet, it’s best to get in the habit of keeping the toilet cover closed. This prevents toiletries from falling inside and minimizes contamination risks.

Whether your bathroom is big or small, these savvy storage ideas could help you add space and stay organized. For more ways to designate storage locations for items, see the accompanying infographic.
