8 Simple DIY Bathroom Storage Ideas

Not having enough space in your bathroom can be very frustrating. No matter how big your bathroom is, you will always have the need for additional storage and organization.

You try to make things neat but, if you don’t have enough storage space things will still look cluttered.

It might not be obvious from just glancing at your bathroom, but there are many ways to add storage space.

1. Appliance Storage

A common issue that many women run into in the bathroom is not having a place to put their hair dryer or straightener.

This is especially frustrating when it is hot and you can’t just put it inside a drawer. A good solution for this is to take a metal file box and use it for storage. It’s very simple to hang the box by cutting just cutting holes in the back and using hooks for hanging.

You can hang it from the wall or side of a cabinet. Metal file boxes are non-flammable which make them a great choice for storing those heated appliances and you can keep them within easy reach of the bathroom mirror.

These metal boxes look great and you can even find them in different colors if you want to match your bathroom décor. They are the perfect storage solution for items that are normally difficult to store.
