How to Banish Bathroom Clutter
Abstract
"The bathroom is a space that can set you up for success or failure in the day," said Marissa Hagmeyer, a founder of the home-organizing company Neat Method. Make More Room If you conclude that you don't have enough storage space in the bathroom to hold everything, it's possible to create more. Ms. Fried sometimes recesses shallow cabinets into other bathroom walls, with mirrored or painted doors. Jessica Davis, the founder of Atelier Davis, a design studio with offices in Atlanta and South Orange, N.J., has added armoire-size built-ins to some bathrooms and semi-recessed cabinets just a few inches deep to others. For a truly tiny bathroom with no available wall or floor space, Ms. Silberstein recommended an Elfa over-the-door rack with baskets. Develop a Plan for Linens To keep your bathroom looking serene, figure out where you'll put your towels and washcloths. "It's a furniture piece that expands where people can keep a towel handy, or drop one." By making sure there's a dedicated place for everything, your bathroom won't just look better - it will also feel better to use.
