1. Use dollar-store baskets (h/t One Crazy House)
The dollar store is an excellent source for cheap organizing items. Plastic baskets combine with Command hooks to use vertical space. You can use other containers and baskets in creative ways to organize all your bathroom items. If you can't find a color you like, spray-paint them.
2. Use the space above your toilet (h/t Rise and Renovate)
The space above the toilet is often wasted. Look for cute shelves at a craft store, many of which offer coupons online and in their apps. The baskets are perfect for holding extra hand towels, soaps and other bathroom items.
3. Keep toothbrushes neat (h/t Little Penelope Lane)
A kitchen utensil organizer stores your toothbrushes and other dental care items neatly away in a bathroom drawer. Each toothbrush stays confined to its own space, preventing germs from spreading. Pulling it out for a quick run through the dishwasher on a regular basis is all you need to keep it nice and clean.
4. Give things a spin
When you dig through the mess in your cabinet, you tend to knock things over and make a mess. The solution: Use a lazy Susan for easy access. Instead of digging through, you simply spin it around to find what you need. As a bonus, it is also easy to wipe clean in case something spills.

6. Save glass jars to hold small items (h/t Classy Clutter)
Mason jars are a cute way to store the small items you use on a daily basis. Glass jars keep cotton swabs, cotton pads, flossers and other items neat and accessible. Don't feel the need to purchase jars. Spaghetti sauce, pickles and other food products often come in attractive jars you can reuse.
7. Add storage behind your bathroom door (h/t Jenna Burger)
The area behind your bathroom door is just wasted space — unless you use this creative idea to reclaim it. Hang towel racks on the back of your bathroom door. If the door is not solid, make sure you use the proper anchoring to hold the racks securely without destroying it.
8. Hang extra shower caddies
One hanging shower caddy isn't enough for many families. When everyone uses different products, the shower becomes cluttered quickly. Use cabinet knobs to hang a few more. Everyone can even have their own caddy with this clever idea! For more, check out these 10 brilliant ways to use a shower caddy around the house.
