Powder Room Organization Challenge

Feeling frustrated with your powder room organization? Let's get this area organized once and for all. The powder room is an area of the home that you use regularly and where friends and family see it. So, to honor this room, we will make this month's Powder Room Organization Challenge. 

In a prior year, we focused on bathroom organizing so we will revisit some of those areas.

Jump to:

• The 1st area in the powder room organization challenge to go through is the vanity sink.
• The 2nd area in the powder room organization challenge to go through is the cabinet or shelf above the toilet.
• The 3rd area in the powder room organization challenge to go through is the cabinet above the sink.
• If this is the case, the 4th area to go through is the linen closet.

The 1st area in the powder room organization challenge to go through is the vanity sink.

Is there anything that needs to be removed?  Did anything spill?  Does anything need to be cleaned up? Are your cleaning supplies under the cabinet?

Tip: Use shelf paper for your vanity cabinet to help protect the vanity bottom from water. Place your cleaning supplies in a caddy (affiliate) to keep them organized.

The 2nd area in the powder room organization challenge to go through is the cabinet or shelf above the toilet.

Go through your cabinet or shelf above your toilet.

Is there anything that doesn’t belong?  Do you have enough toilet paper within reach of the toilet?

Tip: Place items in this space that you need while near the toilet. Some examples are feminine products and toilet paper.

The 3rd area in the powder room organization challenge to go through is the cabinet above the sink.

Do you have items in your medicine cabinet that aren't used anymore?  Are there expired meds?  Are there any items that have expired and need to be replaced?

Tip:  Keep items that are used often in your medicine cabinet.  Rectangle drawer organizers work nicely to hold smaller items like floss.

Depending on the size of your powder room, you may need to organize your linen closet. 

If this is the case, the 4th area to go through is the linen closet.

Determine what you need to get rid of. Are there old towels?  Have the beauty care supplies in the closet expired?  Do you have all your cleaning supplies together? Does the closet need to be touched up?  Are the shelves (affiliate) working for your purposes?  Are all the extra supplies (toilet paper, tissues, toothbrushes, etc…) in one place?

Tip: Place hard plastic shelf liners (affiliate) covered with shelf paper (for a splash of color) on your wire shelves (affiliate).  What other areas of your powder room do you need to organize?

That's it.  I hope this Powder Room Organization challenge makes your room a welcoming place for you and your family/guests.

Let me know how you do.  Have you encountered any obstacles while organizing this room?  Let's discuss this.
