    Hey Claudia! Does your closet have shelves?


    My go to for organization is first and foremost to go through all your stuff and make sure you actually need it. If you don't either toss it in the bin or donate it. Then, grab a bunch of boxes/containers to corral loose items. If you designate each box for something specific, you'll know exactly where to look when you need something!


    If you are looking for a "pinterest worthy" closet, you'll want to make sure all your boxes match; but, you don't need everything to match. Take a look around your house and see what you already have on hand. It's way more cost effective and better for the environment :)


    Good luck!!

    Hi ! First go through everything ! Get rid of anything outdated or you don't really use . Then separate the items by type , heath items , first aid , beauty , .... Designate a shelf for each , or share a shelf keeping like items on one side . You might add a small lazy Susan for meds , aspirin , Tylenol , tums ...I bought a half shelf ? ( 3 sides)

    That you put on a shelf to give you an added " shelf to put smaller items . Of course , you can buy small baskets to place items in , or small plastic drawer organizers .

    Claudia that is a problem in which many of us need the creative ideas of others! If you click on "explore projects" then "organize" then "bathrooms" you will find many ideas. I chose only one of many for you: https://www.hometalk.com/diy/organize/storage-ideas/limited-bathroom-space-to-maximum-storage-39165136

    I’m a lover of fabric tubs. Soft sides but firm structure. Got some at Target all the same size. I make laminated hanging tags that attach through handle. I have things separated by king sheets, queen, bath towels, hand towels/wash clothes etc. in one closet. In my bathroom I have smaller matching dollar store tubs. I used just paper handwritten labels. First aid, skincare, cough/cold/flu, travel size items, etc Everything stays organized and contained. Easy to pull out a tub. No more disorganized clutter that you cannot find.
