The bathroom is usually the place where we keep all our beauty care products and often there are so many that it makes it difficult for us to keep everything in order. If we want to avoid making a mess, there are many ways to take advantage of those areas of the bathroom that usually remain unused. And among the possibilities, there are many ideas that can be easily implemented using DIY projects.

Below, we list some really brilliant ideas to reorganize your bathroom in a creative way, finding space for everything you need:

1. Wooden sink shelf

To always have the products you use daily to hand, you can mount a practical wooden shelf above the sink. Divided into useful compartments, this will help you keep all your products in their proper place.

2. Shelves next to the sink

And the empty space between the sink and the wall? You can use it effectively using very simple wooden shelves which you can cut to the perfect size.

3. Above the toilet

Rope and wooden planks are all you need to create shelving above the toilet.

4. Toilet roll holder

Have you ever thought about having a toilet roll holder with storage? you can make one very easily and customise it to your taste. 

5. Drawers

Even an old drawer can be turned into a very useful shelf. Used as a toilet roll holder or as simple shelf, drawers are very easy to recycle in this way!

6. Pallets

Pallets also come in handy in the bathroom. For example, you can convert them into a practical shelf above your bathtub, so you no longer have to store your bath products on the bath's edges. And your towels will always be close to hand!

7. Fruit crates

Even old, wooden fruit crates can be transformed into practical shelves. Use them as they are or paint them a color you prefer: you will see how beautiful your bathroom will become!

8. Pipes

Have you just replaced some old pipes? Don't throw them away: you can reuse them to make wonderful and practical bathroom shelves.

9. Wooden ladders

If you have an old wooden ladder you no longer need, you can give it a new life by using it as shelving. As it is or equipped with baskets, you can leave it unpainted for a more rustic and unkempt look. Or you can sand it down and repaint it in a color you prefer.

10. Baskets

Old metal or wicker baskets can become wonderful shelves, hung on the wall or hooked onto a rail. You can also make wonderful baskets by wrapping a cardboard box with cordage.
