Bathroom Organizing Essential to Make Your Mornings Easier - featured image

The home's bathroom can get very disorganized, which leaves you wasting time in the morning and buying items you don't need. This post talks about bathroom organizing essentials to help you get your bathroom organized and, hopefully, save you time and money in the mornings.

There is a maximum of six areas in every bathroom.  All these areas need to be addressed and organized to make it a functional space for a smooth morning routine. Visit all these areas below and you too can have a serene morning every single day.

Organize Under the Sink

The under-sink area can be a problematic area to organize because of the piping. Adding shelves and bins really helps organize this space. If you have a double sink as we do, measure the space between the pipes and look for bins or shelves that will fit in that area. Using shelves will help separated boxes so you can easily access them without having stacked boxes.

Here are examples of single sink organizers from Amazon.  Whatever unit you buy, be sure to maximize the vertical space. (Disclosure: this is an affiliate link. If you click-through and purchase something from Amazon, I will receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.)

Organize Inside and Outside of the doors in your Bathroom.

The inside of the cabinet door also is useful to keep your space organized.  Finding an organizer that can hold things like a hairdryer works nicely. If you need more storage and do not have a linen closet, you can also use the back of the main door to hold various supplies needed in the bathroom. Having a home for all your items will make it easy to determine what you need when you need it.

Organize the storage inside the mirror cabinet

Drawer organizer bins work well in newer cabinets. Measure the inside of the vanity mirror shelves and pick the right size for you. You can also find toothbrush holders that can fit on these small shelves too! These little organizers create sections in your cabinet for easy go-to areas for a quick morning routine. And, then, you can easily label them so everyone knows where things belong. Below are some I found on Amazon (affiliate).

Make your tub/shower a perfectly organized area!

We all know most showers don't have enough space to organize all the products we use, especially if we are sharing the bathroom with more than two people. Using a tension corner pole caddy like one in the Amazon Picks below works great for everyone's go-to products when taking a shower.

The mesh shower organizers also work nicely if you have an affixed show curtain rod to quickly store products you need in the shower.

Make Your Linen Closet a Truly Organized Place

Use bins to hold small items. I like using pull-out drawers to keep little loose things like toothbrushes, floss, etc... Divide the containers up into categories.  Here are some categories you can use: cleaning, beauty, and pet cleaning products. Feel free to visit my Narrow Linen Closet Storage Options Made Easy post for tips.

Various products can be stored in the linen closet depending on the size of the closet.  The image below explains where you should place those items on the linen closet shelves. Note: Never put heavy objects on the top shelf.

Make Your Makeup Vanity Organized!

There are lots of vanities out there to help you stay organized. Some of these vanities do not always have to be in the bathroom. Vanities can be stored in other rooms like a bedroom or walk-in closet. If you want to be creative with your vanity, you can make one yourself. I modified this hallway console table for my vanity because I wanted my vanity to be narrow. I store my hairdryers, irons, and trash can behind the curtain and all the makeup for myself and my daughter is in the drawer.

And, now check out my vanity that was updated in my recent post: LOW-COST MAIN BATHROOM UPDATE

The below image shows items that you can store in your vanity.  Using customized dividers in drawers works best because you can adjust the size of the inside drawer sections. You can buy acrylic make-up sorters, but they can be limiting.

    Very timely post for me. We are finishing up a bathroom renovation and I can't wait to get in there and organize the new space. I'll reference this post when I'm ready for ideas.

    I love all of these terrific products. That makeover looks fantastic - so sleek and modern! I've used that Simple Housewares 3-drawer piece with clients and it works very well. It is sturdy, so you can usually put things on top as well as in the drawers. Very thorough post!

    Wow, Sabrina, you really hit it out of the park, covering everything in detail. I think the mesh hanging pockets are a really spiffy way of providing shower-side storage without lining the tub with bottles and turning the shower into a safety hazard. And the under-sink shelves with the slidable top-shelf for u-pipe accommodation is brilliant.

      So many great suggestions for one of the hardest spaces to organize correctly! Cabinet doors and under the sink can be especially tricky. Thanks for sharing.

    I like the way you talked about the ways to organize each of the 6 spaces in the bathroom. Each has it's own peculiarities (like under the sink with the pipes). You gave me some good ideas to share with clients.

    I'm with you 100% about the benefits of having stress-free mornings (or evenings) if your bathroom is organized. One of the common things I see with my clients is the abundance of products stored in the bathroom. Many are partially used, empty, or they don't like. Doing a big edit before organizing is critical. And once you do that, I love all of the ideas you've suggested for maximizing space and creating zones for things. Even if your bathroom is organized, it's a good idea to edit items as the seasons change. So this is a perfect time as we morph from winter to spring.

    Bathroom organization isn’t the easiest but there are a lot of great ideas here. I also have and love the acrylic drawer organizers. They’re flexible enough, with the different sizes, to make a template for the drawer.
    I like your new vanity. Did you make it yourself? A vanity is a great place to apply make up in a relaxing way, especially if there’s plenty of natural light.

    Compared to the rest of my house, my bathroom's in pretty good shape. And I have a pedestal sink which doesn't provide many options for under-sink storage. But I still appreciated these tips.
