A Clutter-Free Bathroom Closet

1. Carry Out a Full Audit and Categorize

No, we're not talking about your accounts - your bathroom closet needs to be audited as well. Before categorizing what's left, it's important to clear out unused and expired items.

Benjamin Stenson, CEO and Founder of Norsemen Home Remodeling says it is always best to do an audit of the bathroom before organizing anything. When you start organizing the bathroom space, it's nice to see everything grouped together again.

To protect carpets or wood floors, Benjamin says, "Toiletries can be quite messy, so you should put a towel or sheet on the floor before you begin your edit." Sort your toiletries, skincare, make-up, and even bathroom cleaners into different categories (hair products, shower gel/soap, moisturizers/face creams, perfumes/aftershaves, etc.) together.

Make sure items that are open are still 'in date' - check the shelf life symbol on the container - throw away anything that is out of date.

Check which products you actually use; there may be some you bought and tried, but didn't like the fragrance or had a bad reaction to - NOW is the time to replace them.

It is crucial to get tough on unused items, according to Laura Price, of The Home Organisation "Editing is the first step to any organization project, and bathrooms are ideal for hiding expired items." When you open beauty products, you'll find a picture of a pot with an open lid and a number on it that indicates it has a 12 or 18 month expiration date.

You'll find organizing so much easier if you can reduce what you have in rotation and when you open things in the future.

2. Invest in Storage Bins and Keep Similar Items Together

Small bathroom storage can be transformed by using the best bathroom organizers to break up larger drawers or shelves.

You'll always be able to find what you're looking for when you separate the chaos into different categories, such as teeth, face or hair products, and contain them in a small box.

In a bathroom, I always recommend acrylic or clear plastic storage products because spills can easily be cleaned and things can be clearly located. For taller bottles, deep turntables are great - no more digging around at the back of the shelf and knocking everything over.

It will also help you avoid buying back stock you don't need, according to Will Copp, Owner of Knox Concrete Contractors. It works for two reasons, Will says: 'Store similar items together: You know exactly where they are, you can see what you have, and you can check before you buy something new.'

3. Don’t Forget to Label Your Storage Bins

While auditing and categorizing your bathroom closet products is fine, you'll also need to know where to put them back once they've been used.

You can label plastic tubs, shoe boxes, iPhone boxes, or small acrylic/plastic containers to keep similar items together in drawers - it goes without saying that you have to put things back in the right place once you've finished using them.

4. Decant Your Products

It is possible to make a bathroom look more spa-like by decanting essentials such as cotton balls, bath salts, feminine products and razors into glass containers, says Michelle Urban of The Organized House.

Furthermore, a simple black-and-white label will give your glass canisters a more sophisticated and luxurious appearance.

Choose neutral colors for your decanting storage products.

"I love using glass and natural textures in bathrooms. A glass bamboo lidded container for cotton buds or bath salts elevates the look from purely functional to lovely."

5. Give Regularly Used Products Pole Position

Think about frequency of use when organizing your bathroom cupboards.

You should keep items you use every day right in front of you and easy to reach. Less frequently used items should be kept on high shelves or in difficult-to-access cupboards.

It's best to keep frequently used items (everyday products) in the center of any shelf at an easy-to-reach level so they're always within reach.

You should store anything that's less frequently used up high or in a vanity unit or bathroom caddy so you know where it is, but it doesn't take up space, says Smithe Sodine, Founder of Smithy Home Couture.

6. Store Liquid Products Separately

Keep fluids and liquids away from other products to avoid damaging spills.

'Store water-based products (skincare, contact lens solution, cleansers) separately from things like makeup,' advises Sue Spencer. 'Water-based products can spill and ruin other items like makeup.'

7. Optimize Lighting

Having trouble finding the back of the cupboard? Make getting ready easier by optimizing the in-closet lighting.

Laura Price says that bathrooms can often be quite compact, and closet storage can be tricky.

It's less likely that you'll lose and rebuy something if you can see what's in the cupboard if you have a small, poorly lit space.

8. Utilize Behind-Door Storage

Utilize the vertical space on the back of cupboard doors to maximize closet space.

You can create additional storage by mounting wire baskets or hooks on the back of cupboard doors if there is enough depth between the inside of the door and the shelving.

If you have taller bottles or sponges that need to dry out, this is a good option.

'Use acrylic adhesive containers to store hair products and accessories, and adhesive hooks for towels, brushes, and loofahs,' says Michelle Urban.

9. Put Duplicate Items at the Back

A backstock area in a bathroom can be a great option, but don't take up prime bathroom closet space.

The space at eye height or within easy reach should be reserved for items you use every day, not duplicates.

You can grab them when you need to replace something because they can go higher up or out of the way.

10. Roll Up Spare Towels for a Chic Display

Keep spare towels in pretty wire baskets for easy and elegant bathroom storage.

Furthermore, it looks inviting and creates a pretty aesthetic while keeping them neat and grouped together.

For an elevated look in the bathroom, you can also use this trick on open shelves.

What Should You Put In Your Bathroom Closet?

You can store towels, toilet paper, toiletries, and back stock items in a bathroom closet. If the cupboard is a store-all space or the only cabinet in the bathroom, it can also accommodate anything from makeup and hair essentials to medicines and grooming products, like cotton pads and loofahs.
