This simple bathroom shelving idea is a cheap and easy solution to get more space in your bathroom.
The baskets keep everything organized and out of sight which simply makes your bathroom look neater as well.
Shaker boxes, wicker baskets, hat boxes, shoeboxes, and the like can function as excellent bathroom organizers that will make your space look more attractive at the same time.

Under Counter Bathroom Storage Ideas
Utilize the area below your bathroom sink. Do you have a lot of wasted space below your sink? If so, you can buy some inexpensive under-sink organizers and drawers and use it to organize your cleaning supplies, extra rolls of toilet paper, and a lot more.
Bathroom Storage Baskets Ideas
Use wicker baskets to tidy up your counter space. Too many small items on the counter will definitely make the space look messy. To avoid this, put wicker baskets and use them to store and organize small items such as your combs, hair brushes and hair dryers, cologne, perfumes, hair sprays, and cosmetics. Just make sure you choose ones that complements the design of your bathroom to create a more unified look.
Consider buying some shaker boxes. A country or traditional bath is the perfect setting for some shaker boxes. These will tidy up your bath and add an enchanting charm to it. Now, that’s what I call great value for your money.
