Frequently Asked Questions

How do I organize a bathroom with almost no storage?

Go vertical and use the surfaces you already have: hooks and shelves on the back of the door, a narrow cabinet in any slim gap, and an over-the-toilet unit for towels and spare paper.

What is the best way to store makeup in a bathroom?

An expandable drawer organizer in a shallow drawer keeps everything flat and visible, which is far easier to shop from than a stuffed cosmetic bag.

When should I throw out old makeup?

Toss anything that smells off, has changed color or texture, or is past its date. Old makeup collects bacteria that can irritate skin and eyes, and mascara has the shortest life of all.

How do I keep a shared family bathroom tidy?

Give every person their own labeled bin and towel hook so nothing gets mixed up, and pare toiletries down to what actually gets used each week.
