Simplify Life: Baskets and Bins Make Storage Easy

Not everyone has an abundance of bathroom shelving or closet space for storing loose toiletries, towels, bath linens and other bathroom accessories. If a new bathroom or remodel is not in your immediate future, baskets and bins are cheap and immediate ways to maximize your bathroom storage capacity while adding stylish or fun decorative elements.

The Benchwright Ladder Floor Storage unit from Pottery Barn brings an antique look to your bathroom without paying antique prices. If youʼre going the 19th century look with a storage unit, consider using decorative elements like natural sponge and bath-salt filled ornate glassware as complements.

If youʼre looking for unique storage ideas, Pinterest is an invaluable resource. We found an idea for a cute DIY weekend project which adds storage using towel bars and baskets. Simply mount the bars and hang the baskets using hooks or fabric.

Storing your excess toiletries and towels isnʼt the only need in many households. For households with young children, where to store bath toys can also be a dilemma. A toy bin should be fun for the kids and provide a way for wet toys to drain back into the tub.

The Bug Pod from Boon is a kid-centric bath toy storage system. Besides looking like a toy, it functions as a scoop allowing parents to easily clean up the toys and then wall mount in the shower for drainage.

 

If bugs arenʼt your thing, household accessories manufacturer OXO offers a similar, but whale-themed, bath storage system.
