Under-the-Sink Solutions

The space under your sink is prime real estate for storage, yet it’s often underutilized. A two-tier storage system with sliding drawers is a game-changer — it maximizes vertical space while keeping everything neatly organized across two levels. Plus, the sliding drawers make it easy to access items without disrupting the rest of your setup.

Stackable Acrylic Drawers

Clear, stackable acrylic drawers are a sleek and space-saving way to store your essentials. Since they’re transparent, you can easily see what’s inside at a glance. These drawers are perfect for organizing makeup, dental products, razor refills, loose cords, chargers and other small accessories while keeping them dust free.

Assorted Bins and Baskets

Bins and baskets in various sizes help keep small items like Q-tips, medications, creams and ointments neatly contained and easy to access. Opt for labeled or color-coded containers to create an even more organized look.

Hooks for Extra Hanging Space

Hooks are a simple yet effective way to keep towels and bathrobes within easy reach. If you prefer a non-permanent option, adhesive hooks are a great alternative. In the shower, suction hooks provide a hassle-free solution for hanging loofahs and shower brushes.

The back of the door is an underrated storage opportunity! Over-the-door racks and hooks instantly add extra space without taking up floor area. Use them to store everyday essentials like moisturizers, hairbrushes, hairdryers and styling tools.

Towel Ladder

A towel ladder isn’t just functional — it doubles as a stylish decor element. It’s especially useful in a guest bathroom for storing extra towels or next to a bathtub for easy access.

A portable caddy with multiple shelves can instantly double your storage capacity. It’s a great way to keep your most-used skincare and bath products organized, and since it’s mobile, you can move it around as needed for added flexibility.

With these clever storage solutions, you can create a more organized and efficient bathroom — no renovation required!
