For many people, the bathroom seems like the one room in the house that never stays organized. The reason has something to do with it being the most frequented room in the house beside the kitchen. Many people are desperate to take their disorganized bathrooms, organize them and ensure they remain organized once they are done with them. So, what could you do to ensure this?
Start with Decluttering
No matter how well you organize your bathroom, it is unlikely to stay that way if it is full of things you do not use or need. For this reason, any organization should be preceded by decluttering. This process entails removing everything from the spaces where it is kept, going through all the items, keeping those you are using, and throwing out those you are not.
When decluttering, keep an eye out for empty containers, duplicate products, and expired products. You should also note what is about to run out or expire so you can throw the containers out when this happens and remember to buy new products.
Organize Using Furniture
If you do not have enough space in the bathroom, your products and other items will inevitably find their way to the top of your cabinets and counters. To avoid this, you can buy a bathroom furniture set with enough space for everything you want to keep out of sight. It should also have drawers and cabinets that will make organizing it easier.
From the decluttering process, you should have categories of different items. You can pick a drawer or cabinet space for each category of things so that you always know where what you need is and where to put it back.
Label All Spaces
In addition to picking drawers and cabinets for different item categories, consider adding labels, too. Labels make it much easier to know what goes where at a glance, making it much easier to keep the bathroom organized.
Add a Laundry Basket
Laundry can turn your bathroom into a cluttered mess in an instant. To avoid this, get a laundry basket that is large enough for the family. The laundry basket will give you somewhere to put all dirty clothes, towels, bedding, and other items while making it easier to do laundry.
You can also have separate laundry baskets for different categories of clothes. For example, some people prefer to keep their towels separate from their bedding when doing laundry. Separate laundry baskets can help those who prefer this.
Be Mindful of What You Bring to the Bathroom
You should either leave with everything you came into the bathroom with or have dedicated space for everything in it. Things can get messy pretty fast if you bring one item that you leave on the counter, someone else does the same, and then you have a mess of multiple things in places where they are not supposed to be.
Keeping the bathroom organized is not only a matter of saving time in the morning, but it can also be about you and your family’s safety. In addition to organizing the bathroom, you should take extra measures to ensure it remains organized once you do it the first time.
