Free Up Bathroom Countertop Space Using A Kitchen Storage Solution

Bathroom counters come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you've got loads of space, or a tiny surface to work with, clutter remains a common denominator. From toothpaste and shaving cream to hair and skin care, there are so many items to find a home for. It's especially difficult to store products that are odd shapes or can't stand on their own. There's also the task of separating hygienic items like toothbrushes, without taking up the entire sink area with cups. Sometimes a little out-of-the-box thinking is the only solution.

When you've run out of organizational bathroom product ideas, there's one place you may not have thought to look — the kitchen. Households use a multitude of bins, containers, and caddies in the cooking area to manage cutlery, spatulas, and more. With a little imagination, you can repurpose some of these products to declutter your vanity. For a toiletry and toothbrush storage idea that saves valuable counter space in the bathroom, check out these cooking area options.

Many culinary storage containers are designed to fit larger products, offering more space to keep bathroom items off the counter. TikToker, @stephpase, implemented a four-unit rattan cutlery holder to clear up all her skincare and makeup clutter. In comments, she says the locally purchased product she used is no longer available. You can find something similar on Amazon in a darker shade for $52.99. This clever storage hack will keep your bathroom functional and stylish. In the video, the basket was placed next to her sink, but there are also decluttering solutions that don't touch the vanity surface at all.

One off-the-counter item that transfers easily to the bathroom is the SUNNERSTA kitchen organizer set by IKEA for $16.97. The unit mounts to the wall and comes with a dish to rest soap on, and five plastic hooks you can use to hang hair accessories or other small items. You can also purchase the SUNNERSTA containers to go with it for $0.99 a piece. The cups clip onto the rails of the organizer and work great for toothbrushes, lotions, and toothpaste. There are so many items you can use to organize your bathroom, you may just surprise yourself by finding some of the best ones hiding in the kitchen.
