"Whenever I'm thrifting, I always make sure I check out the crystal and glass in the home section. It's usually a gold mine, and I love how these pieces elevate my space. One of my favorite secondhand finds is a mini cake stand. I never thought you could use a cake stand outside of the kitchen and dining room - that is, until I stumbled upon this Apartment Therapy article that shows you can use one as a bathroom organizer."
"My bedroom bathroom doesn't have a medicine cabinet, so I keep many of my essentials on the counter. And while I have a bathroom tray, it's quite cramped with all of my toiletries. Not only does the cake stand offer another option for storing my essentials, but it's also beautiful to look at! I scored my mini cake stand at an estate sale, but you can find similar ones online, like this one from Amazon."
"Deciding on the best way to use my mini cake stand took a little bit of trial and error. I have double sinks, and I tried keeping the cake stand in the middle first, to store my skincare and contact solution. Storing small items like cleanser and moisturizer wasn't the best fit, as I quickly learned that my mini cake stand wasn't entirely flat. It dips slightly in the middle (I assume to keep baked goods secure),"
A mini cake stand can be repurposed as bathroom storage to elevate essentials and free counter space. Thrifted or purchased online, the stand adds decorative glam while creating room beneath it for additional items. Trial and error revealed that the stand's slightly dipped center makes small, narrow-based items unstable, so larger bottles like lotions fit and sit more securely. Placement affects stability; moving the stand to a corner prevents tipping and accommodates bulkier containers. The stand works well where medicine cabinets are absent and countertops are crowded, combining function with an attractive display.
