Hunting for the right moisturizer or struggling to retrieve a towel from a crammed cabinet isn't the best way to start the day. Decluttering your bathroom can help you tame your countertop. Yet, as you put things away in cabinets and drawers, you might hate that your products aren't where you can easily see them.

A clutter solution anchored to your mirror keeps your products where you can see them, an important feature for anyone who is a "visual organizer." If you have limited space, using the mirror offers you another way to make the most of your small bathroom. Some people may also be forgetful and need to see their products or they forget they exist. This phenomenon, known as "object permanence," can be a factor in some people with ADHD. If any of these concerns describe you, use this helpful hack to declutter but still keep items within your vision.

Keeping your products in view yet off the bathroom counter

When looking for the right suction cup basket to contain your clutter, start by lining up everything you need it to hold, so you can buy an appropriate size. Don't forget to notice the weight limit to ensure it can hold up, particularly if you have large product bottles to store. Look for any organizer that states it can attach to a "smooth, flat surface." You can find hundreds of suction cup basket options for sale on Amazon, however, a good pick might be this Sanno Suction Cup Shower Caddy, available for $29.99 in a two-pack.
