Organising bathroom

Hi, we have a very small bathroom without a huge amount of space to buy any sort of storage. There's no cabinet above the sink. All we have is a windowsill and a tiny amount of floor space. I also have a skincare addiction and DH loves his bath stuff so there's bottles everywhere. Does anyone know of small space organisation tips? We have a caddy for toothbrushes etc but that's not really cutting the mustard.

Could you swap your sink for one set into a cupboard?

We have one of these: www.bmstores.co.uk/products/maine-under-sink-unit-355066 which houses toothpaste, brushes, mouthwash, razors etc. I like to use makeup bags and washbags to keep small related items together eg nail files, clippers, hand cream, nail polish remover.

For windowsill storage we have a couple of the curver rattan effect baskets and you can fit a good amount of bottles of bubble bath, shower gel etc in those. Makes cleaning the bathroom easier too as you can just slide them out of the way. I tend to save random empty food containers, ice cream, fruit punnets etc as they're useful for testing out organising ideas to get an idea of what size containers work best for an area. The once you find a system that works for an area you know how many pretty boxes and containers to buy.

Do you have floor space for something like this ? 18wx24d

If you have wall space above the sink then IKEA do some brilliant mirrored cabinets, about 60cm square and exactly the right depth. We just had one of those for all our bathroom storage for years.

Also maybe a chrome rack in the bath/shower itself. If you can't screw anything in then these do the job. They are not pretty but they have stayed stuck really well for us. I hear the Command ones are good.
