Maximizing Storage in Your Bathroom: Top Recommendations
If you're neatly placing all your bathroom products in containers and organizing them, your bathroom won't be truly organized unless you fix up your shelves and other storage units. One important lesson I've learned is that everything you own needs its own specific spot. And if there's another important lesson, it's that one big shelf isn't enough to store everything. Here's how you can organize your bathroom storage effectively.
Look for additional shelves
My bathroom initially had three wall-mounted shelves. While they were handy, they couldn't accommodate all my stuff, like makeup, hair accessories, bathing tools, extra towels, and little items like cotton balls or q-tips. Before I even had a chance to unpack, I bought more shelves.
First, I picked a bookshelf, which might sound unusual, but only because it was. If you can find space for a shelving unit, it'll be quite useful. I have this basic free-standing bookshelf next to my sink. Examine the area where you'll be placing the shelves - maybe you can fit a small shelf unit like this one in?

Also, think about adding more shelves in the shower. I already had a storage rack like this over my showerhead and a corner shelf like this one. In addition, I have a mesh caddy that hangs on the curtain rod.
Optimizing bathroom shelf organization
Organizing your bathroom shelves depends on your specific items, but I focused on making my makeup organization work. I bought small containers at first to keep my makeup organized. However, I also bought dividers to make better use of the shelves for other items. Another game-changer has been an under-shelf storage basket for my hair accessories that are hard to store elsewhere:

These transform any shelf into a double one without taking up too much space under it. I also bought a locker shelf to place on top of the unit - it's mainly used for student lockers, but it's perfect for my q-tips, cotton balls, tooth whitening strips, and wet wipes. And yes, I transfer everything into more organized containers and then place them on or above the locker organizer.

- Floating shelves that can be hung on the bathroom wall, maximizing the available vertical space ($14.49 for four)
- Slide-out shelves for cabinets under the sink, ideal for storing cleaning supplies or large items like extra towels ($29.99)
- Acrylic clip-on shelf dividers for clear separation of items on one shelf ($20.99 for six)
