This wrap-around sink shelf is ideal for storing tall bottles, including shampoo and perfume. Drape your wash cloths or hand towels on the rails for easy access. It's also advertised as being rust-resistant and simple to assemble (within 15 minutes).
A shower bench like this wood design is great, not only for sitting, but for organizing your bath essentials. Keep your face cloths on the bottom shelf and hair products and soaps on top for easy access.
Ladder Shelves
Decorative ladders with spacious shelving are brilliant for bathrooms. Place baskets of towels, accessories and other items on the bottom shelves, and more important products (and lighter items) on the top.
Make bath time simple with a caddy that holds everything you need to make your morning or evening soak relaxing. Instead of keeping them in drawers or in the cabinets, your soap, wash cloth and more can fit in this handy stainless steel compartment.
Under-the-Sink-Storage
If you think you'll struggle with keeping your bathroom clean and organized, try designing the space with built-in parts that'll make the future process easier. Instead of using drawers, purchase a vanity set with shelf space at the bottom. Make sure there's enough room to hold baskets of items.
Towel Hooks
Ditch resting your towels on the shower rods. Use that empty wall space to install an assortment of hooks for your bathrobes, pants, shirts, swimsuits, bath towels and more.
Decorative Tray
Vanity trays can add a luxurious feel to a space. They make appealing backdrops for toiletries and help keep your everyday items (including your toothbrush, perfume, soap and face cloth) in one place.
It's always a good idea to go for a double-duty accent, like this wooden ladder shelf that can be used for hanging towels and adding character to your space.
Keep your refillable soap dispenser pump, toothbrush holder and canister all in one neat little spot. You can also use the tray to catch odds and ends.
Over-the-Door Shelf
Sometimes, all it takes is drawing the eye up to add more style and function to a bathroom. The perfect example? An over-the-door shelf to store extra towels.
Storage Cabinet
Snagged a large-scale storage cabinet (bonus points if it's vintage) but not exactly sure where to put it? Consider letting it set the foundation for your bathroom and serve as extra storage space for towels, cosmetics and more.
If your shower doesn't have built-in shelves, a hanging organizer with tiered shelves is the way to go. Plus, it even prevents mildew buildup at the bottles' bases.
Opt for these modern ladder shelves over traditional cabinetry to make use of empty space. Throw a few baskets on them for even more organization.
Place this caddy in your shower to store tissue, makeup and more. It has a rust-resistant bronze finish and three levels to hold all of your bath essentials. Plus, the metal rack helps to drain water that may sprinkle onto the shelves.
This roomy wall cabinet has a handy built-in towel bar for drying hands, plus concealed storage for anything you'd like to keep hidden away.
Make cotton balls display-worthy with these elegant lidded glass canisters. The wide mouths at the top make it easy to reach what's left at the bottom.
Just push a button to get your shampoo, conditioner and body wash — no squeezing required. Another bonus: Your shower will look way less cluttered.
The best part about this rack? The holders conveniently fit wine bottles, so you can easily move it to your kitchen if you want to redecorate. Just sayin'...
Simple Cart
This trusty Ikea cart stores towels, nail polish, makeup and more — and best of all, it's mobile.
This organizer resists heat to ensure that you can safely store your styling tools. Stash your other products, clips, pins and elastics in the extra compartments and bottom drawer.
