In today's fast-paced world, organizing can often take a backseat when you're juggling the many aspects of daily living. Coupled with a busy schedule, sharing a living space with others can bring additional challenges in this arena. This is especially true for bathroom areas, as their smaller size can make keeping things tidy easier said than done. However, keeping your home organized may be simpler than you think, especially if you have the right tools to do it. Enter the Dollar Tree storage aisle. 

Here you'll find many space-saving essential items, including small totes, baskets, and hanging racks you can use to transform your bathroom into a storage-efficient space, regardless of its size. In fact, their clear fridge clip-on baskets are a perfect example of this. Don't let the name fool you — these handy little baskets work in spaces far beyond the kitchen. They're one of many easy-to-use Dollar Tree items to help organize your vanity and are only $1.50 each. Just attaching a handful of them to the tiers of a Mythinglogic wire cart (or a wire rack you already have) can help you create more storage in a bathroom. The cart is only $24, but you can usually find similar wire storage options in your neighborhood home goods store.

Oftentimes, the secret hack to adding more storage to kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, and other traffic-heavy areas is to use every inch of space wisely. For this DIY, it's best to first purchase your wire cart so that you can estimate how many clip-on baskets will fit on each tier. The width of the four-tier Mythinglogic cart is 33 inches. Each clip-on basket is 7 inches wide, which means a total of 16 baskets can fit on the cart (four on each of the four tiers). However, you might not need that many baskets, so decide what works best for you. Once you've procured your materials, gently pry open the top clip area of one basket with your fingers, and then slide it onto the bottom edge of the basket's top tier. Next, add another beside it, and do this for each tier. 

This DIY doesn't have to stop here. Add additional storage to the cart by placing a lazy Susan on the top tier for easy access to small items such as lipstick, vitamins, and tweezers. Toss in a handful of storage trays to neatly store all of your daily essentials, like Band-Aids and Q-tips. You can also add hair items, such as ties and bobby pins, to these containers. Need more space for your hand towels? Add a woven basket to the top tier. Take your efforts a step further by attaching two or three Navona S-hooks to the side of the cart to hang small mirrors and mini toiletry bags. Create space for items you want to keep dust-free, such as cotton rounds or shaving razors, by adding a couple of closed storage containers to the shelves as well.
