Create Instant Extra Countertop Space With One Smart Find

Hats off to everyone who deals with a tiny bathroom on a daily basis. It's not easy getting ready with next to zero counter space. You either have to balance your products on the edge of the sink and hope they don't topple over (they always do); or use the toilet lid as a makeshift table. Both options aren't ideal. And neither is going to another room to dry your hair because you have nowhere to put the hairdryer down. Luckily, there are ways to work around your small space. One way, in particular, is with a Sink Topper Bathroom Sink Cover that provides a dedicated surface for your beauty routines.

As its name suggests, this handy gadget is designed to sit right on top of your sink; allowing you to do more with the space you already have and make the most of your small bathroom. It's made of silicone rubber, and can be folded for compact storage — a necessity when working with small spaces. This mat can also hold up to 7 pounds of products and tools without collapsing. Available colors include black, emerald green, lavender, and four more. Interesting, right? Let's take a closer look at the nitty-gritty.

To our surprise, increasing counter space in the bathroom isn't the sink topper's only feature. This mat is among the few products that will organize your bathroom & protect countertops from heat at the same time. As such, you can set your hot hair styling tools, like curling irons and straighteners, on it with no problem — so long as they don't exceed 480 degrees Fahrenheit.

The different sections on the mat also make it easy to sort everything per category or order of use. Eye makeup could go in one section, lip essentials in another. Take it from one reviewer who shared: "It helps a lot to get my makeup laid out so I can get together and put my face makeup faster." The sink cover even features a faucet cutout, perfect for washing your hands while it's in place. Once you're done getting ready, the textured surface can turn into a makeup-brush-cleaning station.

Keep in mind that there are certain types of sinks (especially curved vessel sinks) that aren't compatible with this cover. Be sure to measure your sink before clicking "add to cart." Then, choose between the standard size that fits sinks up to 19 inches wide or the larger model for sinks up to 23 inches. You also wouldn't want to make the mistake of one reviewer who wrote: "Forgot to measure the hot and cold faucet. It didn't really fit them good. If it wasn't for that, I love it." And finally, remember that this sink cover doesn't automatically make you neater or help keep your bathroom clutter-free. You'll still need to clear everything off the mat after use.
