Eliminating bathroom clutter isn't that difficult. There are several things you can do to keep your space tidy and neat without removing anything you need.

• Use baskets. Baskets are a great way to keep items organized and out of the way without removing them from the bathroom entirely. You can find great baskets in all different materials and sizes. Consider adding an above the toilet shelving system and use baskets to create a clean look and plenty of storage space.


• Roll extra towels up and place them on a corner shelf. This adds a decorative look and gives your family all the clean towels they need.


• Take advantage of in shower storage options. Small baskets and shelves can be suctioned on to the walls to store soaps and small bottles. Corner shelves that use a tension rod will give you room for larger bottles of shampoo. Shower caddies that hang over the showerhead can be good for small items, but be aware that adding too much weight to these can create issues with the showerhead and pipes.


• Hang a small wooden ladder on free wall space to create a place to hang magazines or extra towels. This gives the bathroom a neat country look and adds to the storage space.


• Use hangers on the door. You can hang hamper bags, towels and robes from these. This will help eliminate clutter and hide items behind the door.
