Hang A Towel Rack

Installing a towel rack can help you save space and keep the towels in an organized manner.  Not only does it help you store towels in an aesthetically pleasing manner, but it also gives you a convenient place to hang them when not in use.  You can also hang items such as robes, washcloths, or other accessories on the towel rack for easy access.

Add Some Hooks

Hooks are a great way to store items in a bathroom and the options available are limitless, from decorative suction cups and over the door hooks to wall mounted ones, they’re fantastic to hang on your towel, bathrobe, and other items.   Not only will this help you keep items off the floor, but it also adds a unique touch to your bathroom.

Utilize The Shower Curtain

You can hang a basket or plastic bag on the shower curtain rod and store your personal items, such as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.   This is a great way to keep items within reach, while also keeping the bathroom neat and organized.

Use Wall-Mounted Shelves

Take advantage of wall space by installing shelves and using them to store items like extra towels, beauty products, or toiletries. Wall-mounted shelves not only give you extra storage space, but they also look stylish and neat.

Put Up A Magazine Rack

Magazine racks are a great way to save space and keep magazines and other reading materials organized and handy. You can also use it to store books, newspapers, and other items. This can help you clear up counter space and keep everything neatly organized.
