#30days Home Organisation Challenge
DAY 15: How does it feel when you walk into a health spa? Let’s try and create some of that feeling at home! Having an organised bathroom can really help to speed things up when it comes to getting ready and it makes cleaning up so much easier. It’s also much more relaxing to start (and end) the day in a clutter-free, calming bathroom space. And who couldn’t use a little more relaxation in their day?
JOURNAL:

TASK:
Clean Out Your Shower Products
1. DECLUTTER FIRST
Organising the bathroom should always start with decluttering, aim for removing 20 items!
2. KEEP THE COUNTERS CLUTTER-FREE
Keep as few items out on the counters as possible and use a tray to corral any products that you do want out. This creates a tidier look and makes it easier to clear off your counter for cleaning. Keep any items that you have on the counter confined to the back 1/3rd of the counter space to allow room for getting ready.
3. USE THE INSIDE OF CABINET DOORS FOR STORAGE
You can gain extra storage in your bathroom by using the inside of your cabinet doors. Use over the door organisers to hold a variety of items or hair styling products. Hooks work great to hang face towels or cleaning cloths and can easily be removed if you want to change things up.
4. USE DRAWER DIVIDERS
There are so many little items that can get lost in those cluttered bathroom drawers! Draw dividers help to give everything a home and make it much quicker and easier to find what you’re looking for. Acrylic drawer dividers keep things tidy and keep the space light and airy. Store similar items together so you know where to find everything (and where to put items back!)
5. HAVE A CADDY FOR EACH MEMBER OF THE FAMILY
Having a caddy is such a help. Each of the kids can have their own caddy filled with any personal care items that they use each day. Each morning, they just have to pull out the caddy, do their tasks, and put it back. Everything is all in one place and it’s quick and easy to clean up.
6. HANG TOWELS FROM HOOKS INSTEAD OF TOWEL BARS
It’s much easier to hang up bath towels on a hook than it is to hang them on a towel bar. Plus, it allows the towel to dry better. Save the towel bars for hand towels and get some hooks for everyone to hang their towels on – preferably a different hook for each family member.
7. USE CLEAR ACRYLIC CONTAINERS
Hinged-lid acrylic containers are great for so many storage needs around the house. The medium size worked perfectly in the bathroom.
8. LABEL, LABEL, LABEL.
Labels make it easier to find what you’re looking for and, even more importantly, where to put it back.
