Observing the bathrooms of my clients, I conclude that the main problems in this room are a large number of skincare products and visual clutter.

Collecting and Sorting

To tame the number of bottles, I recommend gathering everything in one place and dividing into categories: shampoos, creams, shower gels, hair care products, and so on.

It's important to assess the actual quantity of cosmetic products. There are always far more than we think.

Getting Rid of the Unnecessary

In each category, we check products for expiration dates, recall when you last used them, and whether they suit your skin and hair type.

If there are repeated products from different brands, decide whether you use them all or if some can be given to someone who needs them more.

Grouping into Categories and Highlighting Priorities

From the remaining products, we identify categories: children's and men's — and place them in separate organizers. All the variety of women's cosmetic products should be well divided into subcategories: body creams, face creams, massage tools, and so on — and placed in separate organizers. Alternatively, group them by frequency of use. Those used frequently should be stored closer.

To organize small items in drawers and shelves, use dividers.

Reducing Visual Clutter

Organizers with lids are a lifesaver if there's not enough storage space in a small bathroom. They also help reduce visual clutter.

Another practical and aesthetic way to store items in the bathroom is using wicker baskets.

Choosing Containers by Color

To make your bathroom look like it's on the cover of a magazine, color harmony is important when selecting containers.

It's better if they are neutral pastel tones. Or in the colors of the walls or main bathroom accessories. A maximum of two colors can be used, otherwise it creates more visual "noise".

And Towels

Pay attention to towel colors; they should also match the main tones of the bathroom. To distinguish them by family members, use two primary colors or shades of those colors.

Also Bottles and Containers

By the way, the color of shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel bottles can also be organized by buying products from one brand. Or purchasing special bottles in one color and transferring the contents there.

As a last resort — paint them with spray paint. Glass jars are perfect for storing cotton swabs and bath salt. They look much more stylish than plastic packaging.

Don't Forget the Curtains

Bathroom curtains are also an important detail. The most eco-friendly and safe options are cotton textile curtains with water-repellent coating. They're easy to maintain and look elegant.
