There is no need to hunt through cabinets when you can keep all of the necessities out where you need them. - Baskets can be used to stash hand towels and tissues (Figure A).
- A glass front cabinet makes a perfect medicine chest.
- Clear jars in various sizes are an attractive way to keep cotton balls handy.
- Keep jewelry off the counter, but out where you can see it by replacing the glass in a picture frame with wire mesh for a unique jewelry holder (Figure B).
- Think about keeping a container filled with essentials close to the tub.
- A ladder's steps are the perfect place for storing extra towels, as is open shelving. Why not add a corner unit if you have the space?
- Repurpose items where you can: like using a tiered plate rack (Figure C) to hold things you frequently use, but don’t want cluttering up your counter.
- Washcloths can be stored in decorative bowls (Figure D).
- To assure you won’t run out of bath tissue, just decoupage a wooden box and keep it conveniently located.
Web Extras - Some unique containers to consider in a bathroom include antique Ball jars, cut-glass decanters, ceramic ginger jars, Italian glass bottles with stoppers sold to hold olive oil and vintage kitchen cookie jars.
- Add shelves or cabinets in recessed areas that don’t get much traffic, like over the toilet or in a corner.

- Use in-drawer spice racks and pull-out shelves designed for the kitchen in the bathroom to organize nail polish, make-up and other products.
- Baskets are a great way to store towels and toilet paper. Shop garage sales or discount stores for inexpensive ones.
- Repurpose things typically used in other ways, such as: an umbrella stand to hold toilet paper, a plant stand to hold shampoos, a pedestal bowl to hold washcloths, etc.
- Skirt a pedestal sink to provide extra storage underneath for cleaning supplies and the like. Use adhesive backed hook and loop tape to hold the skirt in place.
