My girls are growing up before my eyes and while they’re still small in my eyes (only 6 and 8), they’re starting to become more and more interested in “big girl” things like make up, high heels, nail polish and hair dos. And while we still limit a lot of those activities, the little things that go with them are starting to creep in and take over their bathroom!
Since we moved house last year, I’ve been working on decorating and, more importantly, organizing their little girl’s bathroom. At our old house, they only had toothbrushes and toothpaste but now we have hair brushes, combs, clips, sprays, nail polish and lip gloss! A thousand tiny things to drive me crazy.
I’ve learned quickly the key to keeping the clutter under control is to have things within easy reach so that they can also be easily put away when done.
Here’s a few creative ways for organizing a little girl’s bathroom:
Over the door shoe organizer
This has been my saving grace in my little girl’s bathroom! I use it to organize all their little hair things and can keep the things they need and use down low where they can reach it while keeping things I don’t want them to have (like nail polish!) up in the higher pockets. The pockets are the perfect size for brushes and combs but also deep enough that all the clips, pins and ponies don’t spill out everywhere.
Desk organizer
I can never seem to find the perfect organizer specifically for the things I’m trying to manage hence why I use a lid rack for bottles, a dish drainer for homeschooling supplies and a desk organizer for my little girl’s bathroom. Desktop organizers give you way more options than bathroom organizers and this little one works perfectly for all my girls’ oral care needs including toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss, keeping everything accessible but organized.
Low hooks
Our house was new construction and didn’t come with any bathroom hardware (towel bars, hooks, toilet paper holders…) so we decided to install some lower hooks for the girls instead of a standard bar. It allows them to more easily reach their towels from the shower and hang them up when they’re done which keeps me from having to deal with wet towels all over the floor.
Freestanding toilet paper holder
Instead of installing wall toilet paper holders, we opted for freestanding holders in the little girl’s bathroom for a few reasons. First, it is much easier to install but also because their little arms can’t always reach wall mounted toilet paper holders and I always want toilet paper within reach for them! The freestanding holder also allows for keeping extra toilet paper rolls at hand and we don’t run into space issues when trying to use longer-lasting rolls like the new SCOTT® 1100 Bath Tissue which is now America’s longest lasting roll with a full 100 more sheets than their previous roll which is like get 3 extra rolls per pack and for me, means less schlepping 4 kids to the store for toilet paper!
I found the SCOTT® 1100 Bath Tissue at my local BJ’s store (my newest shopping obsession since moving!) and the price for quality can’t be beat plus if you head to coupons.com by the end of the month you can find extra savings on SCOTT® 1100 Bath Tissue!
Little girls definitely have a lot of accessories! Makes me glad I have a boy!! Great ideas!
Boys definitely come with less stuff, Rachelle, though my son loves a pony-tail as much as my girls!
I love that you use the desktop organizer for bathroom items, this is so cute and such a great idea!
Thanks, Jessica. I’ve learned to think outside the box when it comes to organization rather than just settle for what’s typical.
Great job! I look forward to hair things! Izzy is still pretty bald so we keep her headbands in her room!
My eldest was bald for years as well, I kind of miss those simpler times where her hair wasn’t always a matted-up mess!
I used to use one of those shoe organizers for small craft supplies, but that’s a great way to store hair accessories, too. The low hooks that children can access easily are also a great idea. Thanks for sharing! #client
Thanks, Carrie. Between swimming and showering, the low hooks for towels were a necessity or I might have lost my mind constantly stepping on wet things thrown on the floor!
Love the toilet paper holder!
