Whether you are living in a tiny New York apartment or a three bedroom house, you always seem to be cramped for space. Having lived through both of those extremes, I can tell you that it is smart to get creative about where you store things. We thought gaining a bathroom after moving would resolve all of our bathroom woes, but…nope. Finding adequate bathroom storage is always a challenge for us (and probably always will be). We want everything to be easily accessible, but we don’t want anything to be an eyesore, either.
If you’re in the same predicament, then these clever bathroom storage hacks are right up your alley. These ideas will help you maximize your space and your sanity. Check them out in the slideshow.
