ONE ROOM A MONTH CHALLENGE Declutter and optimize your bathroom: Practical guide for effective organization

01 February, 2025

The bathroom is much more than just a utilitarian room. It is a space of well-being where our day begins and ends, a sanctuary where we take care of ourselves. But how can we transform this often cramped room into a functional and pleasant space? Here is our complete guide to optimizing your bathroom.

Step One: Clean Up

A well-organized bathroom starts with careful decluttering. This room easily accumulates skincare products, samples, and expired items. Take the time to sort through everything, even if it means spreading the work over several days. 

Downloadable lists

To support you in this crucial step, we have created practical tools:

  • List of things to eliminate
  • Checklist of things to organize
  • List of things to get

These same lists are also found in Octave in a digital version to be checked.

Tips and tricks

Store occasionally used items in a secondary space. A cabinet that is difficult to access or is high up can be perfect for:

  • Special care products
  • Little used hairdressing equipment
  • Rarely needed first aid items
  • Maintenance products in reserve

Organize your products by categories in baskets or containers:

  • Face products
  • Hair care
  • Dental products
  • Drugs
  • Common First Aid Items

Store seasonal or infrequently used items in another space: sunscreen in winter, travel products, etc.

Step Two: Optimize

Once your bathroom is uncluttered, discover our solutions to make it a practical and pleasant space.

Planning tools

The little autonomy thing

Children can develop their autonomy in the bathroom depending on their age:

Around 3-4 years old:

Install hooks at their height for their towels and create an accessible space for their toothbrush and toothpaste.

Around the age of 5-6 years:

Add morning and evening routine pictograms, allowing children to follow the steps of their personal hygiene.

Around the age of 7-8:

Create a dedicated space for their personal products, encouraging responsibility for their daily care.
