Tips for storing cosmetics when living alone or in a small room

What is cosmetic storage?

It's difficult to put a large dresser in a room for a single person or a small room. However, with a little ingenuity, you can store your makeup tools in a stylish and easy-to-use way. We will explain how to store cosmetics effectively, so please take a look.

Sort by category

If you put all your makeup tools in one box, it will be a hassle to take them out. First, separate your cosmetics such as foundation, mascara, and lipstick by category. We recommend using a drawer-type cosmetic box or a small tray to create designated spaces for your makeup tools. You can also store eyebrow pencils, mascara, makeup brushes, etc. upright on a stand.

Make effective use of vertical space

Tables and chests are great places to store cosmetics. If you want to store as many makeup items as possible in a limited space, we recommend placing racks and drawers to use the space vertically. Another great feature is that you can organize your items by category, such as eye makeup items on the first shelf and base makeup items on the second shelf. Organizing the inside of your drawers using dividers will make them easier to use. Also, be sure to check out corner racks that can make use of the corners of your room.

Clear material for easy viewing

During the busy time before heading out, you want to put on your makeup as smoothly as possible. To avoid the trouble of searching for "where did I put that cosmetic?", it's a good idea to choose a box or rack made of clear material so that you can see the contents clearly.

The clear material box is perfect for interior decoration as it allows you to display your favorite cosmetics while storing them. In addition, since it is see-through and does not block the view, it also has the effect of making the room look larger.

Keep your daily items in one place

When living alone, you may not be able to store all your makeup tools in one place due to space limitations. In such cases, try separating out the "makeup tools you use every day" from the "makeup tools you use less frequently." Store the makeup tools you use every day together in the most convenient location, such as on your desk. If you use a small rack or tray, you won't have to worry about your makeup tools getting messy. Store the makeup tools you use less frequently in a box with a lid and keep it in a closet to prevent them from accumulating dust.

Choose a stylish design

In a single person's room or a small room, each interior item has a big presence. When choosing cosmetic storage items, you want to choose something that is not only practical but also stylish in design.

Simple storage items that match any interior style can be used for a long time without getting bored. We also recommend incorporating colorful storage items to enjoy changing the image of your room.
