A Solution For Extra Wall Storage In The Bathroom That's Perfect For Wine Lovers

From brushing your teeth to showering and beyond, bathroom routines are an essential part of personal hygiene and self care. However, a cluttered space will cause you to waste precious minutes finding the products you need. Clutter also takes away from the relaxing spa-like experience we all hope to find in this part of the house. Messiness is especially problematic in homes with smaller washrooms or those lacking cabinetry. Fortunately, with a little creativity, there are a few items you can use to organize your bathroom, including a wine box. 

Rather than buying expensive cupboards to store lotions and toiletries, you can make one with an old wooden crate. This is an affordable and eco-friendly solution to your organizational problem that involves minimal effort. By adding hinges and a magnet and personalizing the piece with paint, you can transform a simple wine shipping container into a one-of-a-kind wall cabinet that's both aesthetic and functional. Check out how to make your own DIY toiletry unit in a few simple steps.

This easy bathroom storage hack keeps your favorite items together and adds rustic charm to your home. To get started, all you need is a wooden wine crate, two small hinges with hardware like the Liyafy 1-Inch Butt Hinges, sandpaper, and your choice of paint. You can pick up a 3M Multi-Purpose Sanding Sponge from The Home Depot for this project. When YouTuber Sarah Halbeisen completed this project, she added magnets with a drill so the door stays closed. You could also use an adhesive product instead like the SOMIMOSA Ultra-Thin Adhesive Cabinet Magnets. With your supplies gathered, it's time to put your DIY skills to the test.

To complete this easy project, begin by sanding and painting the wood in your preferred color. You can paint just the inside or the outside or both. Sarah used chalkboard paint to add fun messages to the front. After it's dry, adhere the magnet to the center of the frame and the lid where they touch. Screw two hinges onto the opposite side of the box to attach the lid. Finally, simply mount the cabinet on the wall. 

This DIY storage solution is great if you're looking for medicine cabinet options without the dated mirror look, but you can also add a mirror if you'd like. Personalize your creation further by staining the wood instead of painting it, attaching trim with DiGMiG Peel-and-Stick Trim Molding, or stenciling on painted designs. No matter how you customize your new wall cupboard, you'll have a way to organize clutter and streamline your bathroom routine.
