Storage That Saved Me
Smart ways I fit too much stuff into way too little space. Think over-the-toilet shelves, bins, and caddies.
Perfect for all my shower needs, plus I liked being able to see what was in there versus a solid color if I was in a rush.
Two Tiered Slide Out Organizer Black: Rust-Resistant Steel, No Assembly, Universal Storage Use
I had an actual obsession with these bins – I LOVED (an still do) that they're stackable. I used smaller ones for makeup, skincare, or things like cotton pads and tweezers, and the bigger ones for towels, TP, and backup products.
KUGGIS IKEA Storage Bins/Box
In college I used this over-the-door hook to hang bath towels to preserve extra storage.
Small over the Door Hook 2 Hooks Matte Black - Brightroom™: Steel, No Assembly, Powder-Coated Finish, Space-Saving
My favorite basket for tossing in a few bathroom cleaners. It looked cute just set up anywhere in the bathroom and kept the minimalist vibe going.
Coiled Rope Basket Cream: Storage & Organization, Oval, Handles, 13 Inch Cube System Compatible
Bathroom Basics That Weren't Ugly
Towels, shower curtains, mats, and organizers, but cute.
Used these all through college and STILL do!

I used this exact one in my college bathroom and got compliments all the time. Again, I STILL have it and STILL love it.
Better Homes & Gardens Boho Chic Shower Curtain
These were my go-to in college: basic, clean, and easy to wash. Nothing fancy, so I didn’t stress about getting them dirty. They did the job without being gross or overpriced.
Quick Dry Bath Rug Set White - Threshold: Machine Washable, Tufted Polyester, Latex Backing
TRUST: You WILL want to swap out your shower head. It's under $20 and recommended by The Washington Post and NBC.
Mode High Pressure Shower Head - 4 Inch Chrome
I kept this in the corner of my bathroom in college. It matched my vibe and was slim enough to fit in place.
Slim Laundry Hamper with Wheels 48L
Another cheap way to tie my bathroom vibes together. They're plastic and $5, so if it breaks or gets lost, who cares?
2 Pack Plastic Canisters Vanity Organizer
Don't get a cup to store your toothbrush in. You'll never clean it. These are harder to ignore if they get dirty and they still look cute.
Black Stainless Toothbrush Holder Stand, 4 Slots
Nothing fancy, but they're cheap and they work!
Mainstays Metal Shower Rings, Set of 12, In Chrome
You don't need anything fancy for the inside of your shower. Always go for the cheaper option or buy from a dollar store.
Clear Heavyweight PEVA Shower Liner
Random, but Worth It
A collection of the random, surprisingly helpful or super cute things I didn’t know I needed till I had them.
I actually used this in my college bathroom to cover the ugly flooring and it made such a difference. It's waterproof, actually stuck, and gave everything a much cleaner, more put-together look without damaging anything.
Black Wood Grain Waterproof Contact Paper
Just a cute personal touch to my bathroom mirror.
ZIHENG 'It's a Good Day' Mirror Decal
I hung this in my college bathroom with some Command strips and it made the beige/brown, black and creme color-theme come together.
Minimalist Woman Line Drawing Canvas Art
My favorite way to store toilet paper. Right on top of the back of the toilet with three rolls stacked on top of each other -- and I still have it at home today!

A cheaper toilet paper basket storage.
