How to facilitate rushed mornings and start fall in an organized way? By rearranging the bathroom. Frequented by all members of the family (especially at rush hour!), the bathroom can quickly find itself in a state of general disorder.
How to cure it? Drawer organizers, modular storage, shelves, various compartments: the solutions to maximize space are multiple at Distribution 2020, the division of Richelieu Hardware in Quebec. Here are six tips to say goodbye to clutter!
Clear the counters
In recent years, the trend has been for a sleek design. Exit overcrowded bathrooms: we favor monochrome spaces, built-in furniture and a few carefully chosen accessories.
Toothbrushes, hand soap, makeup remover, face cream, etc.: the counter is overflowing with cosmetics. But is it really necessary to leave them in sight? Although they are everyday essentials, they can easily be stored in the bathroom vanity while having them close at hand.
Optimize storage with the Banio modular system, available at Distribution 2020. This system is actually a U-shaped drawer for a vanity unit. Its shape, cut out at the back, contours and hides the faucet pipes, while improving the functionality of the drawer. In fact, the storage solutions for the bathroom are multiple at the specialized hardware distributor in Quebec. All you have to do is target your needs and take the time to think about each space in the room.

Compartmentalization is the key!
Now that your counter is decluttered and gleaming, what about your drawers? After conquering and tidying up the kitchen, now compartmentalized storage is taking over the bathroom. As in the kitchen, drawer dividers make it easier to store small items: do the same with your makeup!
Add clear acrylic storage containers as drawer dividers. These containers keep the interior of the drawer clearer and well ventilated. Rearrange them as needed and tie them to keep them in place.

Store vertically
Is your bathroom cramped? Have you considered vertical storage? “Cabinets that go up to the ceiling or superimposed towel racks are ingenious solutions adapted to small spaces,” suggests Anne Michaud, general manager of Distribution 2020.
There is no shortage of choice at this great hardware specialist in Quebec. Not to mention the Essensa product range, which includes closed storage, a medicine cabinet, sliding drawers and even a tipping bin, to keep certain objects or medicines out of the sight and reach of children.

Have open spaces
On the other hand, open storage is always popular. But they must be selected carefully. Versatile, acrylic storage containers can also be stored on a shelf or around the bath, why not!
Even in the shower, the current trend is to open up space. An idea: replace the small alcoves with large compartments. Tablets are also required, both in the shower and near the bathtub. They add relief to the decor and help create a space for relaxation and cocooning, a very strong trend in decoration. Roll up nice towels in wicker baskets, add a scented candle and a few bath bombs to get the boutique hotel look.
Divide the spaces
Children are growing rapidly and are always looking for autonomy, even in the bathroom. Contribute to their learning by ensuring that everything is easily accessible to them; add a step stool, lower the mirror, put the bath toys in a net, reserve a drawer for them, etc.
In fact, young and old appreciate having a separate storage space in which they can store more personal accessories. It will be faster to find them in the morning! In addition, it avoids stepping on each other's feet when several occupants want to use the bathroom at the same time.
