The Dollar Tree is a goldmine for home decor and storage solutions — but don't limit yourself to the bathroom department the next time you stop by the store. If you venture beyond that aisle, you'll come across affordable Dollar Tree kitchen finds that work just as well in other home spaces. Some products need a little DIY to make them bathroom-ready, while others work on their own without any crafting or additional steps.

Below are 14 Dollar Tree kitchen finds you should be using in your washroom. They're excellent for storing and organizing common bathroom supplies, and these Dollar Tree items can save valuable bathroom countertop space in the process. Whether you're piling cotton swabs in a cookie jar or stocking makeup palettes in a dish drying rack, the possibilities are endless. In addition, you'll find kitchen items that add decorative value and can store hair tools, skincare products, makeup, medication, and other supplies often found in the bathroom.

A surprising Dollar Tree kitchen find that belongs in your bathroom is a cake pan. Stack two Cooking Concepts Round Tin Cake Pans into a double-tiered organizer for candles, cosmetics, washcloths, or other common bathroom essentials. All you need is a pedestal to separate the two pans, such as these Black Metal Pedestal Candle Holders or Stoneware Pillar Candle Pedestals, and some E6000 Craft Adhesive to fasten the pieces together. Don't use more than two cake pans or the build will become unsteady. Spray paint the components to create a cohesive final result — that looks looks nothing like an assembly of cake tins.

Free up bathroom countertop space with a simple kitchen storage solution — a lazy Susan. The Storage Essentials Clear Acrylic Rotating Kitchen Turntable has a non-obtrusive look that's easy to add to any bathroom. Just set it up on your countertop, and fill the center with candles, lotion, perfume bottles, decorative plants, or other small bathroom items. It's perfect for corralling small objects that contribute to clutter. It also makes them easier to browse by spinning items into view. If the clear acrylic is too boring, you can always dress it up with spray paint, shelf liner, or a plush layer of Crafters Square Craft Fabric in the center.

Another kitchen organizer that can be repurposed to declutter and organize bathroom countertops is a cutlery holder. The Caterer's Corner Transparent Cutlery Holder is transparent, making it easy to integrate with most interior designs. There are four compartments, which are big enough for cosmetics, hair tools, travel and sample bottles, and medications. Organize items by type so they're easier to find and keep sorted with daily use. If you have a lot of items to contain, it might be worth getting more than one of these organizers, and dedicating one to makeup, one to hair items, etc. 

Declutter your shower or sink with a Dollar Tree kitchen hack, and repurpose a Cooking Concepts Clear Sponge Holder into a bathroom holster. This miniature receptacle has suction cups that can adhere to smooth, hard surfaces, such as tiles, as well as sink basins and mirrors. It also has drainage holes along the inside, making it a great pocket for holding bars of soap, razors, or other small shower products. It only comes in one size and color, but its small and transparent design is understated and able to blend into your shower. 

Dollar Tree's Shatter-free Clear Plastic Refrigerator Food Storage Bins have a niche name but many purposes. Tuck these storage bins underneath a bathroom sink to divvy up storage and protect inner cabinets from leaks and spills. These bins are narrow but long, making them perfect for under-sink areas. They also have end handles so you can pull them out and restock with ease. They can fit everything from extra makeup to hair care to cleaning products. Other Dollar Tree refrigerator bins can serve the same purpose, such as these Essentials Plastic Fridge Storage Bins.

If you aren't afraid of a little DIY, pick up several Dollar Tree items to create extra storage for a bathroom countertop. Use four Cooking Concepts Wire Napkin Holders as key pieces in a tiered countertop organizer. You'll also need shelf liner and Crafters Square MDF Wood Plank Boards, both of which are also found at Dollar Tree. Fortunately, there are many shelf liner colors and patterns to choose from, so you can find a pattern that correlates with the rest of the room. For example, the White Tile Design Nonslip Vinyl Shelf Liner has a fun but neutral pattern, perfect if you want to add a subtle pop of print. 

Find another use for wine bottle holders while partaking in a dry December — or just buy a few extra! Stack Storage Essentials Acrylic Wine Bottle Holders underneath a sink to create tiered storage for various hair tools. These cylindrical bottle holders are the perfect size and shape to stow curling wands, straightening irons, folding hair dryers, and other niche styling tools. The open front makes it easy to remove the tool you want and put it back without creating a mess of cords and electronics. Just keep in mind that the acrylic is not heat-resistant — be sure to let heating tools cool off before putting them back in storage.

Treat your houseguests to a thoughtful touch by filling an empty soap dispenser, like Dollar Tree's three-piece Assorted Plastic Bathroom Accessories, with mouthwash. The soap dispenser set comes in black, blue, gray, or white. Set up the dispenser and tray with a pack of Caterer's Corner Plastic Shot Glasses to create a convenient mouthwash station. Dollar Tree offers different shot glasses with seasonal or holiday-inspired themes, so you can swap them out throughout the year.

Use a genius paper towel holder hack to keep bathroom clutter at bay, and grab this Cooking Concepts Paper Towel Holder from the dollar store. This iron stand is in a stainless steel finish that matches most metal fixtures, and it's perfect for holding any kind of paper roll; in this case, toilet paper. Up to three rolls fit on the stand at once. You can place it on the ground, on the back of the toilet tank, or bolt it to the wall with Command Medium Clear Wall Hooks. 

Instead of slicing up a beautiful Cooking Concepts Bamboo Cutting Board, put it to work as bathroom decor instead. Hot glue Crafters Square Wood Craft Cubes to the underside to prop it up and create a chic Dollar Tree sink-side tray. The bamboo adds natural texture to a sterile space, and it's the perfect platter for hand soap or lotion bottles. This kitchen item is already made for water exposure, but you can always spray a clear, water-resistant finish over the wood as an extra safety net.

A Dollar Tree paper towel holder is the trick to a clutter-free bathroom in more ways than one. Grab this handy tool off the shelf once again to hold a collection of hair accessories. The metal poles are the perfect size to stack scrunchies and hair ties. Claw clips can also snap around the poles. Store this item in a cabinet or keep it out on your bathroom counter. If keeping it out in the open, you can place the accessory holder on a lazy Susan or decorative tray to give it more aesthetic appeal than if left standing alone.

Dump the pans and plates stored on an Essentials White Wire Dish Drying Rack and put this rack to use on your bathroom countertops. This white wire rack stores makeup palettes just as well as it props up dishes. There are four slots to separate and organize brow, eyeshadow, face, and lip palettes. Just slide multiple palettes into each slot so they're easy to sift through. If the rack is too boring on its own, dress it up with the Floral Garden Assorted Green Leaves & Vine Garland and artificial flowers with hot glue.

Stock your cookie jars with something a little less tempting, and move them into your bathroom. Fill the Classic Counter Top Glass Cookie Jars with cotton swabs, floss picks, and Q-tips, and arrange them on a Gold Rectangular Plastic Charger Tray. The jars have a silver lid, but you can spray paint them and the tray to match. Pick the metal color that best fits your bathroom — silver can be a good choice if you have traditional stainless steel fixtures, but gold can add a pop of warmth. If you have a spare tray or riser laying about the house, you can also use that to hold a row of cookie jars instead of buying one new. 

Serving trays aren't just for presenting food. Set one down on a bathroom counter to create a glamorous perch for freshly washed washcloths. The gold finish on the Gold Rectangular Plastic Charger Tray disguises its plastic material as elegant metal. Roll the washcloths instead of folding them, then stack them two or three rows high. Don't forget to add an impromptu laundry basket beside your sink to catch the used washcloths. Instead of an actual laundry bin, repurpose an Essentials Wire Waste Basket or Plastic Waste Basket.
