Uncluttered and Reorganized: Bathroom Space Saver Tips


by DoItYourself Staff

Bathrooms are both functional and necessary, but often they’re also in dire need of a few bathroom space saver features. Here are some tips to consider.

Tip #1 – Measure First

What looks great in the store (or catalog or on the Internet) may be completely unusable when you try to fit it in your bathroom. Measure all dimensions for space saver cabinets, vanities, etageres, etc., that will go in your bathroom. In fact, measure twice, just to be sure.

Tip #2 – Calculate Your Storage Needs

How much do you need to store in your bathroom? What kinds of things will be stored? Do you have sufficient storage elsewhere in the home and only need a little? The answers will help you determine your space saver storage needs in your bathroom and keep things uncluttered and reorganized in the bargain.

Tip #3 – Consider Unique Combinations

Storage in the bathroom is available in over-toilet etageres, shelves and cabinets, in ledges above and around tubs, under, above and beside vanities, and freestanding along walls. Consider all types of bathroom space saver storage options for maximum storage capability.

Tip #4 – Coordinate Style

Make sure your space saver storage items blend well with your bathroom’s décor. Chrome doesn’t necessarily go with wood, for example. Some storage items offer more in the way of reorganization to keep things uncluttered than others.

Tip #5 – Upkeep is Important

Take into consideration that your bathroom space saver storage item will require a certain amount of upkeep, cleaning and/or maintenance. Make sure you know what will be required and determine if this is something you can commit to do. Polishing chrome and glass takes time. The same holds true for wood. Ceramic tiles can become filled with grime. Every material has different cleaning requirements.
