DIY Bathroom Renovations to Create an Efficient & Clutter-Free Space
Bathrooms are often one of the most cluttered spaces in one’s home. Because people often get ready for work or their day in the bathroom, or because they are showering and grooming themselves there, it’s common that the bathroom gets filled with miscellaneous items that are haphazardly placed. From beauty products and grooming tools to cleaning products and medicine, everyday household items can build up over time and can create ample amounts of clutter; especially if there is more than one person using the bathroom.
It’s always important to eliminate clutter around your home, however, it’s especially important to eliminate clutter in a space that you will be in often, such as your bathroom.

It’s common for people to want to organize a space, specifically their bathroom, but not know how or where to start. If this sounds like something you're dealing with, below are some cheap DIY ideas to help you eliminate clutter in your bathroom.
Revamp Your Storage
This is perhaps the most important thing you can do to get rid of clutter. Many people have no problem delegating areas for storage in other rooms in their homes, however, they often run into issues when delegating places for storage in the bathroom. Bathrooms are often fairly small rooms so you will need to get creative when it comes to creating places to store your products. Some DIY areas for storage ideas include:
Mason jars; hang mason jars on the walls to store things like cotton swabs, cotton balls, and makeup brushes
Hang mounts for your toothbrushes on the side of your medicine cabinet; this will get rid of clutter on your vanity
Add a washcloth stand; create your own stand out of plates and candlesticks that will act as an authentic yet practical place for you to store your washcloths in an organized way
Planter box organizer; simply mount a planter box on your wall and store things like lotions, brushes, toothbrushes, and makeup in the openings
Add wire food stands to your vanity to store soaps and other grooming supplies in an organized yet chic way
Take advantage of your shower space
Showers take up a majority of the space in your bathroom, making places to store things somewhat challenging. However, you can take advantage of your shower space to create a clutter-free bathroom, here’s how:
Add pockets to your shower curtain; to DIY this you can buy a plastic shoe organizer and attach it to your shower curtain. This is perfect for storing soaps, children’s bath toys, and even washcloths
Invest in a shower caddy
Double up on your shower rods; hang a second shower rod and attach multiple baskets to add more places to store soaps and shampoos
Add wall and floor decor
Adding decor can actually help you organize your bathroom, especially wall and floor decor. Instead of cramming all of your bathroom items and products in your medicine cabinet or in your vanity, add a few pieces of decor to create an organized space, such as:
Hang floating shelves
Use a kitchen or bar cart to store soaps, toilet paper, and towels
Hang baskets on the walls
Bring in a small bookshelf or perfume stand to store towels
