Of all the rooms in our home, the bathroom seems the most susceptible to clutter. With soaps, hair dryers, curlers, moisturizers, toothpaste, combs, towels, medicines, and a myriad of other items, a clean bathroom can become a mess of accessories in a single morning. However, with these tips for organizing your bathroom cabinets and countertops, you can have an area that is neat and tidy throughout the year!

5 Tips on Organizing your Bathroom Cabinets and Countertops

1. Get Rid of Extra Junk

Perhaps the most important part of the entire process, you should start your decluttering by throwing out unneeded items. Quite frankly, you have to be a little merciless at this point. If you haven’t used a bottle of lotion in two years, throw it out. If you have five too many makeup brushes, throw them out. Getting rid of excess clutter will be essential for organizing your bathroom cabinets and countertops, and it’s a step that can’t be skipped.

2. Separate by Use or Category

Now that you’re rummaging through bathroom items, separate everything into handy piles. Create a pile for nail-care accessories, a pile for lotions, a pile for soaps, and a pile for medication. Once you have the items separated, you’re ready for the next step.

3. Use Drawer Dividers

Using drawer dividers helps keep items in their separate categories and allows you to find exactly what you need, exactly when you need it. If you are having your bathroom remodeled with custom cabinetry, you can have the builder create dividers for you, giving you excellent organization that is perfect for your specific needs.

4. Store Loose Items in Small Individual Containers

What do you do with all those little items? The cotton balls? The floss sticks? The hair ties? Keeping each one separated in its own container will help you make sure your bathroom stays organized. If you will place them in the cabinet drawers, you can simply toss them in stackable plastic containers. However, if you want them on the countertop, a decorative mason jar or small ceramic cup will do the trick.

5. Take Advantage of Wall Space

Finally, we’d encourage you to think vertically. Look at the wall space in your bathroom. Is there anywhere for narrow shelving or storage? There are plenty of decorative options for vertical storage in the bathroom, which will free your cabinet and counter space and result in a well-organized area.
