This year, Meat and Potatoes Organizing has been focused on making closed spaces in our client’s homes like cabinets, drawers, and closets as functional as the open spaces. Did you just think of that painful shelf in your bathroom full of perfume, makeup, and washcloths? Are you so used to the chaos and clutter that it hasn’t stopped bothering you? Well, today is your day! This blog post will give you bathroom organization help to turn that chaos into a beautiful, functional space.
Now, everyone’s bathroom is going to look different and not everyone has the time to do a complete overhaul, so we are here to remind you that small changes lead to big impacts – especially in places like the bathroom. Believe me, we have turned many large messes into beautiful spaces, and it is possible for you too!
Here are some small steps that can help with your bathroom organization!
- Place those frequently used items like bath towels, washcloths, and toilet paper on the most convenient shelf.
If you do this, you will start to notice that you do not have to reach over anything to get what you need. You can see the contents immediately and they are easy to refill as well! You can also use a clear turntable for items you use on a regular basis and need quick access to. As always, keep turntable items out of reach and away from children and curious pets.
- Label Everything
Once you have found the best place for your items, keep your organized space by clearly labeling your items. This will help you, and others in your family, know where to put things back after they have used them.
- Declutter & Categorize First Aid Supplies & Medication
The first step in any organizing project is to pull everything out and declutter. This will help you determine how many categories you may have. Purge any items that have expired, or you no longer use before you put them into a new organizing system.
A budget-friendly bathroom organization idea is to use storage containers that have drawers. In the bathroom, it can help us keep everything from cold and allergy medication to vitamins to first aid to stomachache medications organized.
- Drawer Organization
Everyone has at least one drawer in their house that is considered the “junk drawer.” For you – is that in your bathroom? Again, the first step is to take everything out, but we highly recommend getting clear drawer containers to help keep things tidy. They have been an absolute game changer for our clients – especially those that have a lot of makeup or skincare products.
When it comes to organizing your home, there is not a “one size fits all” sort of solution. What works for one client’s lifestyle might not work for your lifestyle and what works for your lifestyle might not work for mine. This is where finding a professional organizer near you may really come in handy! The professional organizers at Meat and Potatoes Organizing are great at collaborating with individual clients to produce the solution that works best for you.
