The Best Way To Store Small Bathroom Essentials
Magnetic knife holders are a convenient, hygienic way to keep knives within reach while cooking — and they’re far safer than rummaging for a sharp blade in a cluttered drawer. They are equally useful in the bathroom for organizing easy-to-lose metallic items, including tweezers, nail clippers, small scissors, hair clips, and bobby pins.
Mount a magnetic knife holder to the inside of your medicine cabinet door to take advantage of unused space. While a stainless steel knife holder offers a sleeker look, adhesive-backed magnetic tape works if you need a narrower solution that won’t interfere with the door. And if you don’t have a medicine cabinet, consider using the inside of your vanity door, the side of a cabinet, or the space underneath a floating shelf.

Other Uses for a Magnetic Knife Holder
The bathroom isn’t the only place to incorporate this organizing hack. You can also stick a magnetic knife holder to the wall above your desk, inside a deep drawer, or on the side of a filing cabinet to hold office supplies such as binder clips, paper clips, and scissors. If you use a three-tiered rolling cart for crafts, try adding a strip to the side — it’s the perfect spot for shears, extra sewing needles, and metal tools such as pliers or seam rippers.
A magnetic knife holder might also be useful on the side of a kitchen cabinet, where you can use magnetic hooks to hang your larger utensils and hand towels so they’re always within reach. Above the sink, a holder paired with hooks is an excellent way to air-dry brushes and rags. If you live in a small space and store your tools and hardware in a credenza, consider adding a magnetic strip to the inside of the door for small tools like Allen keys or screwdrivers.
