Smart Ways To Organize Your Bathroom Using An IKEA Pegboard

Having a well-organized bathroom can be essential and may significantly improve your daily quality of life, since it simplifies the process of getting ready and also minimizes the regularity of chaos you encounter. If you're feeling motivated to improve the organization in your bathroom, but don't want to mess with a remodel or expensive revamping of the space, chances are you can make some big strides with a specific IKEA product.

The IKEA SKÅDIS Pegboard line offers limitless potential for attaining an organized space, thanks to its modular design. These pegboards come in a variety of sizes, so you can choose the one that best fits your space (or select a few, if needed). Their highest-rated pegboard combination measures 30 by 22 inches ($39.99) and comes equipped with one shelf, one deeper container, and two clips. You can, however, easily choose a blank canvas of a pegboard and create your personally optimized organizer, pairing it with any number of add-ons accessories. Depending on your needs, the additions you couple with the pegboard will help you to keep track of toothbrushes, toothpaste, personal grooming tools like your razor and nail trimmers, and so much more.

It can be overwhelming to consider the endless combinations that your bathroom pegboard could possess, so it's best to consider your lifestyle and current deficiencies. For simple day-to-day organizing, pairing the SKÅDIS with a container ($4) for your toothbrush and toothpaste, a shelf ($5) to hold products, and a hook ($4 for 5-pack) for a washcloth may be all that you require. If you have a more involved personal care regimen, you can get creative by using some of the clear organizing containers ($10 for 3-pack) to hold hair accessories (like clips and hair ties), or cotton balls and Q-tips. Use a magazine holder ($5) add-on to hold a curling iron or hair straightener, and one of the tool holders ($2) for a hairbrush.

Perhaps your regular necessities are already pretty organized, though, and you just need some help managing inventory. In this event, you can stock up on the clear organizing containers, which can be used to store and keep track of everything from extra toothbrushes and floss to razor cartridges. Another great way to utilize the SKÅDIS pegboard is in your kids' bathroom. With multiple young people sharing, a small bathroom can be difficult to keep organized; consider purchasing smaller individual pegboards for each child and allowing them to choose how they lay out their personal items. You can also get creative by using letter stickers to label who the owner of each pegboard is.

Keeping safety first, while the SKÅDIS is truly a workhorse when it comes to getting organized, you'll want to be certain you follow appropriate measures to ensure it is securely attached to the wall. These steps include not overburdening it with heavy items (be that the board itself, or the individual shelves and organizers you add to it), as well as making sure all of its users are able to easily reach what they need — which may mean pairing the pegboard with a step stool if smaller members of the family are trying to access it.

In terms of practicality, the SKÅDIS is about as good as they come, but there is still the possibility for unrealized potential if you go about its installation too haphazardly. Unless you already know exactly what containers and organizers you need, it can be best to make your SKÅDIS purchases slowly, selecting only one or two add-ons at a time. This will allow you to not only plan out how you're going to use those particular items, but also to see what organizational gaps still exist in your bathroom. With the right approach, you can revolutionize your bathroom organization with this highly practical pegboard system.
