Solve Your Hairdryer Woes With These Simple Storage Solutions
Tangled hairdryer cords and messy styling tools do not make for a fuss-free start to the day – these tips may just change your life
Even if my bathroom weren’t the size of a postage stamp, I would still have hairdryer issues. Somehow, it always seems to be in the way: cord snaking across the vanity top, hot nozzle burning my leg as I lean into the mirror, the whole thing crashing to the floor if I nudge it with an elbow.
As with so many problems, the answer comes down to ‘a place for everything and everything in its place’. My dryer is supposed to stay in a basket on the counter when it’s not in use, but clearly that plan isn’t working. If you’re faced with the same frustration, try one of these storage ideas to keep things simple and streamlined.

Multi-tasking at its best: custom slots in this pullout cabinet are sized to hold not only the hairdryer, but also a curling iron and a brush.
Who knew the solution could be as simple as a hook on the back of a cabinet? Electrical outlets within mean you can leave the dryer and other grooming appliances plugged in if you prefer. As with any electrical appliance, you'd just need to take care to keep water away from the plugs.
Or, instead of standard cabinet doors, go for a garage-style cubby like this one. The lift-up mechanism means the door stays out of the way.
A deep shelf in this pullout corrals styling tools and their cords without allowing them to slip and slide to the floor.

How come I've never thought of this? A simple rack mounted inside a cabinet door, just like the ones designed to hold dish soap or extra paper towels, creates a ready-made spot for the dryer when you're done with it.
This nifty little gadget is a low-cost solution to the hairdryer hassle. Just plop it on your counter and stick the hairdryer in to keep it out of the way.
Of course, you could opt for the ultimate in convenience: a wall-mounted dryer model that minds its own business when you’re done with it. Problem side-stepped!
