Tension rods are another handy tool to use while trying to organize.  You can extend these under the bathroom sink to hang spray bottles of cleaner or use in your kitchen cabinet with hooks to hang your pots and pans for easy use.

A shelf above the bathroom door provides added storage. Last but not least we can all use extra shelf space regardless of what room and one space that seems to always go unused is that right above the door.  An extra space above the door in the bathroom is especially handy for storing guest towels.
