4. Install a cornered shelves

Not a fan of the hanging shelves? Install some cornered shelves in the shower instead. These convenient shelves make the most out of your bathroom space, no matter the design and layout.

Instead of stashing your hairdryer, curling tongs, hairpins and hair products everywhere in the bathroom, we suggest dedicating a small area to store your products — ideally somewhere near the mirror for convenience. Now you don’t have to worry about losing your elastic bands and hairpins.

8. Install a lazy susan in the closet

Lazy susan doesn’t just belong in the kitchen. In fact, you can use it literally anywhere that requires storage space, and that includes the bathroom. Oftentimes, we tend to pile up cleaning products and extra toiletries in the bathroom closet or cabinets. While there’s one way to do it, it’s definitely not the most efficient. Why not try adding a lazy susan in the closet? Instead of fumbling around for what you need, just spin around until you get what you look for.
