If you want to keep your bathroom always looking prim and proper, smart storage should be a priority to you. Figuring out organizational methods that fit your bathroom doesn’t have to be frustrating. Here are some ideas for better storage in the bathroom that you might utilize. 

Shelves within shelves

While below-sink cabinets add lots of storage, they aren’t the easiest to keep neat, especially if you have items of varying sizes.

Over-the-toilet organizers

Hunker mentions several different styles for an over-the-toilet organizer. This is a great choice as they said, “Take advantage of over-the-toilet storage to make a lot more space in the rest of the bathroom.” Available in a variety of styles and finishes, over-the-toilet organizers add storage to a space that is otherwise unusable. Some over-the-toilet organizers are like wooden ladders that taper as they go up, while others are Buy at Amazon and are rectangular. They are a great place to store extra rolls of toilet paper, magazines, or candles.

Carts and stools

While not typically thought of as pieces of furniture used for storage, barstools and bar carts make for a great storage solution and an interesting addition to any bathroom. Compact metal furniture works best for this purpose. Buy at Amazon are particularly helpful in a bathroom as they can be moved about as needed. 

Built-in cabinets

Cabinets that are recessed into the wall make for a tidier space, and they free up some area in a room, for a more open feel. Recessed cabinets hide away unsightly towels and other toiletries while fitting in seamlessly with the surrounding wall. When installing built-in cabinets, you might consider including those of varying sizes to suit different objects.

Hanging storage

Rods and hooks are two more options that add storage availability to otherwise unusable space. Hanging storage doesn’t just have to be for towels; you can suspend baskets or Buy at Amazon on the wall to contain a more diverse set of objects. Whether on the bathroom door, on a wall beside the sink, or in the shower, hanging storage can prove to be very useful in the bathroom.

Lazy susans

These spinning contraptions allow for easy, quick access to items when they are needed most. Buy at Amazon can be placed in a cabinet, for instance under the sink, or atop a counter. Some are marketed as makeup holders and have specialized compartments and drawers. Introducing a lazy susan to your bathroom means less time spent searching for things.

Shower caddies

Buy at Amazon may be made of polished metal for a sleek appearance. They might be permanently hung in the shower in lieu of the need for a shelf in the shower. Some shower caddies even have built-in mirrors or soap dispensers. 

Trays

Cabinet door storage

Where Design Meets Desert: Blue Heron’s Vision for Las Vegas
Blazer, Clothing, Coat

As a third-generation Las Vegas native, I was thrilled to hear that during a recent visit to the city, part of our team had the opportunity to tour a newly completed, luxury desert home by Blue Heron. The home was stunning, far beyond expectations, with every detail thoughtfully and intentionally designed.

Las Vegas has always been a place of transformation and evolution. Founded in 1905 as a railroad stop and desert oasis, the city grew rapidly through the construction of the Hoover Dam, the legalization of gambling, and the post–World War II development that shaped the iconic Las Vegas that we know today. Over the last 125 years, it has evolved far beyond its origins to become a hub for design, innovation, and bold leadership.

My Christmas Centerpiece Method
Candle, Candlestick, Cutlery

Christmas is a few days away and I am getting the final touches ready to host my family. The meal is planned and the shopping list is written. All that’s left is to do is to set the table, prepare the food, and enjoy the holiday. But before that, I need to put together the centerpiece and table scape. My personal favorite kind of table scape has always been rooted in simplicity. At my own wedding, I locked horns with the florist, wedding planner, and even my own mother-in-law, because all I wanted were floating candles and bare, yet sparkly branches. I had the vision and they just needed to trust me. Almost ten years later, while my style has evolved, one thing has not changed: simplicity with a splash of shine always wins. I tend to lean this direction often. It’s classic and never feels overdone. 

So, how am I decorating my table for Christmas this year? I follow the same principle every December, and the method is beautifully straightforward:

PANTONE 2026: Cloud dancer takes center stage
And Pantone's 2026 Color of the Year is...
Adult, Male, Man

Pantone has officially announced its Color of the Year for 2026, and the choice is as bold as it is unexpected. It is white. More specifically, Cloud Dancer (PANTONE 11-4201). At first glance, it’s definitely a move that might raise eyebrows. It has already received criticism for being “flavorless” and even “tone-deaf” in our current political climate, especially with the rollback of many DEI initiatives. 

And, many of us grew up hearing that white isn’t even a color at all, but a canvas. An empty space waiting for something more. Technically, it’s the reflection of all visible colors, which only adds to the irony.
