Bathroom Closet Hacks – Organize Your Closet Like a Pro

Ideas for Bathroom Closets

Make good use of available spaces: Use up an awkward space by fitting in the right closet. Tall and thin designs can work well for bathrooms with little space.
Fit a corner closet: Make your own corner closet or buy one pre-made. This helps you to maximize your space and provides a place to show off your best items.
Use labels for ease of use: Label any containers in your closet with brief details of the contents. This means that you will spend far less time looking for what you need.
Build a bespoke closet: Create a closet to meet your specific needs and space restrictions. You might want to do this from scratch or customize an existing closet.
Use space behind the door: Don’t let the space behind your closet door go to waste. This can be used to hang hooks or put wire racks for extra storage.

Closet Ideas: DIY Cedar Lined Closet

I feel like my to-do list is never ending. (Most people can probably relate!) I actually have multiple to-do list going at once. I have my everyday to do’s and I also have a long list of home to do’s. This project let me check an item off my super long home to-do list – we gave our linen closet a makeover! When looking for closet ideas, I kept coming across cedar planks and was reminded of the cedar chest my mom had growing up. I met the folks at Cedar Safe last summer and we teamed up to show you how easy it is to do your own DIY cedar lined closet! The only tools needed are a miter saw and a finishing nailer.

DIY Wire Shelf Dividers (great for the linen closet)!

I was tackling one of the most embarrassing areas in my house, the linen closet, when I hit a speed bump: wire shelf dividers were costly for what they are and didn't have a good track record. Using the leftover wire shelving from the original closet organizer, I "hacked" some shelf dividers with the clever use of zap straps! I'm so pleased with the results!

Drawer Flip

What do you do when you have an unattractive dresser from the 70's and a blank empty space in need of something to help maximize its space? Flip those ugly dresser drawers into gorgeous bathroom shelves - that's what! These drawers provided me with a creative way to use the vertical space in this bathroom nook where I'll keep guest toiletries, extra toilet paper, and bathroom towels. I wasn't sure how this would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised how easy this project ended up being. Gather paint, a few tools, a table saw, and your imagination to create this look for yourself! Three cut down, repainted, and perfectly placed dresser drawers become bathroom shelves in this drawer flip project!

Organized Linen Closet

I am not the most organized person. But I'm trying. I started with my linen closet a few weeks ago. I used a few simple containers to keep items grouped together.

Pretty Linen Closet Organization

Messy and embarrassing is what my linen closet looked like before! It was just a place to toss folded towels in, and run. I was fed up with the disorganized feeling of it, and decided if I wanted to keep it organized I would have to make it pretty.

Crate Storage With a New Spin

I am always looking for inexpensive ways to create storage in my kids' rooms. I originally made this storage unit for my daughter but used boy-friendly colors, on the off chance that she doesn't want it. Turns out she wants it, but wants it painted fuchsia. One of the comments below from Snuttall1947 was brilliant! She is making one of these for her bathroom. Imagine what a great space to store towels and bath products vertically. Just wanted to share, in case you miss this in the comments. So many great comments on where to use this: craft rooms, closets, pantries, pool areas, garages, laundry rooms and mudrooms... I hope I didn't forget any... Possibilities are endless...

Linen Closet Inspiration

I just love the linen closet. My obsession probably began with my mother who is equally obsessed with linens. Nothing is better than the smell of freshly laundered, perfectly folded towels and sheets. Actually, the only thing better is the sight of a linen closet containing crisply folded sheets, stacks of fluffy towels and shelves lined perfectly to their edges. In the event you’re not truly on board with my obsession for a well-organized linen closet, I thought I’d shared with you some of my favorite ideas for creating such an oasis!

How to Organize a Narrow(shallow) Linen Closet

Narrow linen closet storage is great but can be a challenge to organize. You can see everything at a glance and nothing is hidden but when you try to look for storage options in the stores, you need to have exact measurements to make sure the item fits properly. It’s a hassle to deal with this detailed step, but it can be done. Here is how I found items for my narrow linen closet.
