THE IMPORTANCE OF AN ORGANIZED BATHROOM 

An organized bathroom is paramount for creating a harmonious and stress-free living environment. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the practical advantages of a well-ordered bathroom extend to our daily routines. There are several benefits to an organized bathroom:

  • Quicker and more efficient morning routine
  • Sense of calm and well-being
  • Healthier and more enjoyable space

By having toiletries, towels, and other essentials neatly arranged, you can navigate your daily routine with ease, saving time and minimizing frustration.

Overall, investing effort into maintaining an organized bathroom is a simple yet impactful way to enhance both practical functionality and overall well-being in our daily lives.

DOOR ORGANIZATION 

A commonplace often overlooked for storage is the door.  Utilizing the door gives you more space and allows you to easily access your items.  This Elfa door rack from The Container Store is a great option especially if you are short on space.

There are multiple sizes available: small, medium, and large. Narrow bins are also an option.  The smaller bins work best at the top of the door organizer giving you easy access to items, while the larger ones work best at the bottom.

Mesh or wire bins are available.  I prefer the mesh for a few reasons.  One, they help conceal the items making the visual clutter less visible. Many bathroom products do not match and these mesh bins help conceal those items.  They bring uniformity and cohesiveness to a space.  Two, items sit flat on the bottom.

This door organizer can fit 5-6 bins.  It comes down to the size of the bins that are used and the amount of space in between them.  The unit is adjustable, allowing you to move the bins to your liking.

The elfa door organizer also has utility boards.  If you are a person who needs to see what you have, using this system makes everything visible all in one location.

UNDER SINK STORAGE SOLUTIONS 

Piping is the main issue when it comes to figuring out how to organize space under the sink.  It’s important to measure the space before buying any type of bin.  Knowing the depth is crucial because you want the door to be able to close.  You also want to make sure the bin will fit width-wise, measuring from the piping to make sure it’ll fit.

Stackable bins are a great option for organizing under the bathroom sink because they optimize space.  bathroom organization

Another bathroom organizing idea is to use bins that have a top to them and add turntables.  Turntables are a great way to keep larger bottles neatly together.  They keep items accessible.

Divided turntables work well for small items such as cotton balls, q-tips, floss, and bandaids.  These items come in bulky packaging that takes up valuable shelf space.  There’s nothing more annoying than being at the store and forgetting to add something to your list.  It becomes effortless when items are out of the packaging giving you a better visual.

This divided turntable has removable inserts giving you the flexibility to take one out if more space is needed for an item.

Another option for under the sink is using just bins.  These divided bins work well for organizing a variety of products, a common theme for the bathroom.

With multiple products from different categories, the divider came in handy for this space.  Instead of the bin becoming a jumbled mess with a variety of items, the dividers keep everything secure and prevent them from moving around the bin.

BATHROOM CLOSET – SOLID SHELVES 

Organizing the bathroom closets becomes the catchall of the house, they are the large version of the junk drawer.

This particular bathroom had deep shelving with a variety of items.  The goal was to make everything visible.  We were able to accomplish this by using taller bins in the back and shorter bins in the front.  This solution made the front bins easy to reach into and get items without having to take out the entire bin.

Labels were added to all the bins to keep items going back to the right places while also identifying what was in them.

A drawer unit was added to optimize the vertical space.

BATHROOM CLOSET – WIRE SHELVES

No two homes are equal.  What one stores in one bathroom closet is different from the next one.

Wire shelves are common and also frustrate people at the same time.  Things fall over or through the cracks leaving you annoyed.

Thankfully there are plenty of products out there that can create a functional, sustainable, and appealing system all at the same time.

Clear bins work well for wire shelves as they sit flat on the surface making it easier for bottles to stay upright.

The top two rows consisted of these clear bins.  From there, these divided turntables went to the next row for individual items.  Last, these open-front bins were used for the bigger, taller items.

BATHROOM COUNTERTOP

Keeping items organized on the countertop makes for a smoother morning, especially makeup.  Brushes, powders, and eye shadows are all visible and neatly contained.

All-in-one organizers make use of vertical space and prevent the bathroom countertop from overflowing with product.

BATHROOM DRAWERS

Drawers are common in the bathroom.  They can quickly become junk drawers without the proper system in place.  Utilizing small compartments for items like bobby pins and hair ties keeps them easily accessible.  Say goodbye to endless searches for hair accessories.
