It’s basically a law of physics that any bathroom surface — the side of the tub, the top of the toilet tank — soon becomes a makeshift shelf, especially if your bathroom is short on storage. But if you’re regularly victim to shampoo bottles falling on your toes, your hairbrush is in danger of flying into the toilet, or your kids’ bath toys are constantly underfoot, you know how unsatisfying those surfaces are as storage solutions. And as a writer covering cleaning and organizing, let me tell you, gently, that you deserve so much better.I’m generally averse to buying new items to solve seemingly small problems. But a good old-fashioned product purge and reorganization, along with some strategic upgrades — like the stackable drawers that instantly decluttered my vanity — can ease daily headaches that plague you more than you realized while also making it easier to clean.With a little thought, these surfaces can be cleared and clutter can be corralled for a calmer, more functional space — especially important if your bathroom is small. Plus, avoiding a bottle to the toe is always an improvement on a Monday morning.
