Organize: Bathroom

You cleanse, brush your teeth, and put on your makeup in the bathroom each day, but that doesn't mean the space has to be strictly mundane. You can add plenty of personality to the bath, turning a room of function into a sanctuary of tranqillity and calm.

1. Purge- overhaul the medicine cabinet and other storage areas by removing everything that's not vital to your daily life

2. Regroup- gather similar items and assess how and where they should be placed

3. Relocate- lone accessory pieces (ex. nail clippers, tweezers, hair clips) in containers. Toothbrushes and toothpaste take up less space if they are stored upright in a cup or jar.


Shelves- Open shelving in an accessible any easy way to store towels, which should be stacked in piles.  Shampoo, conditioner, and soap stock on display can help remind you when replacements are needed.

World Market great source for baskets



Storage Containers- If bathroom space is limited, countertop baskets, bins, and boxes are helpful for grouping toiletires. Cotton swabs and other applicators look much tidier when they're placed in apothecary jars, or even just an attractive bowl.
