Organize your bathroom - Continued

A toothbrush holder put on the wall will hold all your toothbrushes and the cups that you use for rinsing or you can buy special cups that are used to hold all the toothbrushes and cups for mouth care.  You are almost always able to find toothbrush holders that are going to match your bathroom décor.

Keep tissues on the back of the toilet where they will be kept handy and one won’t reach for the toilet paper instead.

Under the sink you can keep your extra toilet paper, extra tissues and personal hygiene boxes. 

Using a stand that goes up and over the toilet you are going to give yourself so much more space for storing towels.  Using a stand that is made of plastic or wire that is coated of plastic, you can clean it fast and it won’t rust like a metal stand might.

On the back of your door, you can install hooks so that robes and towels can be kept handy when they are not being used.  This way they are going to be ‘out of the way’ and will make your bathroom look a bit tidier than having towels over the shower.

If you have to have a space to keep necklaces, consider using small nails or small hooks on the wall beside the mirror.  This way your necklaces will be out of the way for every one else in the house yet they are secure from going down the drain. You can keep small cups under the sink, one for each person, to use to put their jewelry in if you really need it.

So what about all the medications and similar stuff that you keep in the bathroom but don’t use that often?  Using a clear container about the size of a shoebox (or larger if you really need to) you can put all your meds in here for those days when someone has a sore throat, a bellyache or when they need an aspirin.  All you have to do is keep this under the sink with a lid on tight so everything will stay fresh for when you need it most.  If you have small children, you can keep this box on the top shelf of your towel rack above the toilet.  Using a colored box when you have to keep it in the open will add to your décor as well.
