Don’t have any bathroom cabinets or need more space to store all your favorite essentials? Collin loves this Hemnes wall shelf from IKEA – it’s great for storing lots of items and even has a built-in towel rack! Plus, it’s pretty narrow compared to your typical set of shelves so it should be able to fit just about anywhere – including right by the doorway!

8. Transform your wall outlet into a handy ledge.

From easily storing your Amazon Alexa to electric toothbrushes – and even small oil diffusers – the Echogear outlet wall shelf is a space maker! It transforms your wall outlets into a convenient ledge, freeing up that valuable counter space and making your bathroom look much more organized!

These bins tuck nicely under your bed and even have a lid that folds in the middle so you only need to pull out half the box to reach your things.

10. Keep floor space clean with this over-the-door laundry hamper.
