We can all recognize a beautiful bathroom, but it can be difficult to tell what actually makes the space appealing. Some folks choose to incorporate bold, bright colors into their bathrooms, with a textured mat or patterned shower curtains. With other bathrooms, neutral tones and pops of fresh greenery read as modern and elegant. Your bathroom organization method should reflect how you want to feel when you’re in it. If you’re hoping to refresh your space, consider what you don’t find or see in organized, appealing bathrooms. Here are six things that often lead to a cluttered space, and that you won’t find in an organized bathroom.
1. Old Makeup or Skin Care Products
Do yourself (and your skin) a favor by tossing any expired products into the trash. Not only will this free up your vanity for fresh trends, or new versions of your favorite classics, but it’ll also save you from the realization that you’ve been using the same mascara for — gasp — one-and-a-half years.Most beauty products will have a small symbol on the back of their container indicating the product’s shelf life in months. If you haven’t used a certain concealer, eyeliner or eye shadow palette in six months, it’s best to toss it. By going through your makeup kit regularly, you’ll also give yourself time to think about which products you enjoy using and which products may not have been the best fit for your skin or lifestyle.
