The bathroom is one of the most often visited places in your home. It is also the place that gets the dirtiest the fastest. So it’s absolutely essential to keep that space organized and clean at all times.
When we first wake up, we go to the bathroom to do our skincare, take showers, and get ready in the morning. Once the day is over, we visit the bathroom once again to unwind and get ready for bed.
It can get cluttered and gross very fast, especially if your bathroom is on the smaller side. If your bathroom is not looking so cute right now, need not worry.
I’ve gathered over 40 of the best bathroom organization ideas that’ll take your bathroom from trash to fab. These ideas will work great for any size bathroom.
From over-the-toilet storage to floating shelves ideas and under-the-sink organization, there is something in here for everyone.
HOW TO GET AN ORGANIZED BATHROOM
First things first, you’ll want to declutter your bathroom. Throw away anything you don’t use anymore. If you have dirty towels or clothes in there, put them in the washing machine.
If you have an empty bottle of shampoo just sitting in your shower, you need to get rid of it or that’s just going to add to the clutter.
You have no idea how many empty bottles of shampoos and hair conditioner I used to just let sit in my shower. That is until I saw a spider in one of the bottles, lol!
That was my motivation to get my sh*t together.
KEEP ONLY ITEMS YOU USE ON A DAILY BASIS
If you have limited counter space, this tip is vital. Keep only the things you use on a daily basis on your bathroom counter.
Think toothbrush, toothpaste, face wash, lotion, and of course hand soap. These are things you reach for every day so it is very convenient to have them out on the counter.
For anything other than your daily essentials, I suggest you store them away in your bathroom closet or drawer and only take them out when you are in need of it.
Now that you’re done decluttering and know what to put on your counter, let’s take a look at these clever bathroom organization ideas for a clutter-free space.
BATHROOM ORGANIZATION IDEAS
1. UNDER THE SINK ORGANIZATION
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
The under-the-sink is one of the most cluttered and disorganized places in the entire bathroom.
Speaking for myself, I usually just throw whatever is in my hand without even looking at where it landed, haha!
I suggest using clear acrylic bins to store your items and to create a clutter-free space. Keep all of your skincare in one bin, toiletries in one, hand soaps and lotions in the next, etc.
You’ll know exactly what products are in which bin and won’t have to spend an extra 10 minutes trying to find the toothpaste, lol!
2. BATHROOM CLOSET ORGANIZATION
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
If you have a bathroom closet that is filled with stuff you don’t use or need, toss it in the garbage.
If you have more than three of the same items, they will probably expire before you get to them, so just throw them in the garbage or give them to a friend or family member.
After you are done decluttering all of your things, keep only the stuff you need inside this closet. Fold your towels neatly and give them their own little row.
Once it gets dirty, do make sure to put it in the laundry basket and not just leave it there.
You can use clear acrylic bins to store all of your other essentials such as face wash, body care, and products for that time of the month.
3. ACRYLIC DRAWER DIVIDERS
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
Is your bathroom drawer looking like a hot mess right now? Not to worry because all you need to do is insert acrylic drawer dividers.
Rule number number one, you need to throw away anything you don’t use or is empty. Now just insert the dividers in the drawer.
You’ll need to play around with it for a little bit to make sure everything fits and is secure.
These are great for organizing your drawers and make it very easy to find what you are looking for within seconds.
4. STACKABLE STORAGE BINS
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
Have a bit too much stuff to just leave on your counter? This is where clear stackable drawers come in handy.
No one wants to lift ten bins to get to the item they are looking for, especially if you are in a rush. So, buy a few stackable drawers that have a pull-out handle already built into them.
These are so convenient and look amazing as well.
Another thing you should do to make sure your bathroom stays organized is label your bins. Use a label maker to type down the category for each bin and just place it on the front.
When you take an item out, you’ll know exactly which bin it needs to go.
5. UTILIZE BEHIND THE CABINET DOOR
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
If you have a small bathroom and are running out of space, I recommend utilizing the space behind your bathroom cabinet door to organize all of your hair tools and products.
Attach a few command hooks and just place your tools there. You can hang your blowdryer, hair brush, and basically any other hair tools you have on those hooks.
It is out of the way and very organized. Now, if you have some products you want to organize without taking up any more space, simply mount a wire rack below the command hooks.
Keep your hairspray, hair oil, and other hair essentials on the rack.
6. SLIM ROLLING CART
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
In most bathrooms, you will have some space next to the vanity. Why not make use of that space to get organized?
Get a slim rolling cart that will fit perfectly in the little area between the wall and the cabinet. You can store pretty much anything you want on there.
Plus, when guests come over, they won’t won’t be able to see it unless they are really looking. Since it is so small, it doesn’t take away from the overall aesthetic of your bathroom.
If you need something from the cart, simply roll it out and put it back once you’re done. I absolutely love this idea, it is so creative and easy.
7. OVER THE DOOR ORGANIZER
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
Over-the-door hanging shelf racks are one of the easiest ways to organize your bathroom. It doesn’t take up any extra space and you can store so much stuff on these kinds of racks.
Assign each row its own category. One can be for body washes, another for lotions, and the list goes on and on.
If you love to collect body care as I know a lot of people do, this is a great way to organize them. They are in clear view so you are more likely to use them.
But, other than body care, you can utilize them for storing your cleaning supplies, towels, and personal care.
8. OVER THE TOILET STORAGE
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
This is a clever storage solution for everyone who is running low on space or has a smaller bathroom. Over-the-toilet storage cabinets are great for many things.
You can keep your cleaning supplies and extra toilet paper rolls on there. A toilet brush, air refresher, and basically all of your bathroom essentials.
You may think that since they look so small, they won’t be able to hold a lot of stuff, but that is not the case. They are just like any other cabinet and have lots of storage space.
So run to Amazon and buy this right now.
9. ADD STORAGE BASKETS TO THE WALL
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
If you don’t like to see visible items, this is the one for you. First, you’ll want to hang an over-the-door hanging rack.
Then, buy a few storage bins and place them on the racks. Now just organize your items as you’d like.
Doing this will make your door and bathroom look much cleaner and neater and hide any visible clutter.
Since you won’t be able to see clearly what’s inside the bins, I suggest you stick some type of label on them so you know where is what.
10. VERTICAL SHELF
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
Utilizing your vertical space is an absolute must, especially in a small bathroom. They take up a small amount of space but help organize so much stuff.
Since it is very visible, I suggest you keep items that look good or are not too bulky on the shelves. For example, toilet paper, towels, hand soaps, and a few decorations to make it look pretty.
If you wish to store other items, you can place them inside a storage bin and then place them on the shelf or, if you don’t mind how it looks, you can just keep it on the shelf.
11. USE WOVEN/WICKER BASKETS
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
I am a huge fan of wicker baskets. Not only do they look insanely good, they are great for organization.
Keep all of your day-to-day essentials in these baskets for easy access. Think of things like toilet paper, bath towels, and body care.
These are all things we use on a daily basis so it just makes sense. You can also keep cleaning supplies, oral hygiene products, or anything else you want in the baskets.
The great thing about them is, that you won’t be able to see what products are inside from the front. So no matter what items you store in there, it will still look good.
12. FLOATING SHELVES
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
Floating shelves are another one of those things you need for organization and decor.
They are very easy to install and you can place them anywhere in your bathroom for a little extra storage space.
But if you’re running low on wall space, I suggest installing them above your toilet. That part of the wall is almost always open so this is a great way to make use of it.
13. TOILET TANK ORGANIZATION
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
The surface of the toilet tank is a great place for organization but is often overlooked. Maybe because it is the toilet, haha!
But seriously, they make for a great spot to store a few extra rolls of toilet paper.
Place them on a medium-sized wicker basket and add a bright green plant to brighten things up. Also, how cute is that “take a seat” frame?
14. WALL SHOWER CADDY
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
I know shower caddies are meant for inside the shower but you gotta work with what you got, right?
If you need a little spot to keep your daily essentials such as deodorant, medicine, shaver, and hair brush, this shower caddy will become your best friend.
Grab a command hook and stick that beside your bathroom mirror. Now all that’s left to do is hang the shower caddy and place all of your items inside.
They are insanely cheap and very convenient.
15. HANGING WALL BASKETS
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
Hanging wall baskets are great for organization obviously but they are also amazing for hiding your not-so-attractive products.
Do you have an item you swear by and love to death but the packaging is just hideous? Well, I have many and these wall-hanging baskets are literally a gift sent by heaven.
Ok, that was a little dramatic but they are seriously that good. I live in a small apartment so I need to make use of every inch of space I have. So these are definitely a must for me.
Hanging wall baskets are great for storing all of your bathroom essentials and they will also make your space look a lot better.
Install these behind your door and get ready to have a more functional space.
16. WALL STORAGE SHELVES
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
If you couldn’t tell, I am a huge fan of wall organization. They are practical, keep everything in one place, and are very convenient.
Install wall shelves near your door. This space is great because that part of the wall is always empty.
You’ll just have to make sure you don’t open the door too hard so it doesn’t slam into the wall shelves.
If you already have a lot of stuff on your bathroom counter, I suggest you turn to this to keep the rest of your stuff organized.
17. OVER THE DOOR SHOE ORGANIZER
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
This is actually meant to keep your shoes organized but it also works great for storing your personal care products.
They have over 20 compartments so that is plenty of space you can use to store your things.
Keep only one or two items in each compartment so you can clearly see it without having to move stuff around.
Store things like body wash, skincare, shower products, extra toothpaste, face wipes, and deodorant.
18. SHOWER CADDY ORGANIZATION
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
Speaking for myself, the shower is one of the first places in my bathroom that gets dirty. Mostly because when I wash my hair, I roll up the hair fall out, and just stick it on the wall.
Gross, I know, don’t judge me, lol! You’ll probably also have bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash just lying around here and there.
Most showers don’t even have enough room to keep your shower essentials there unless you have it custom-built already.
Which is why you should buy yourself a nice shower caddy. They aren’t too expensive and they hold so much stuff. You can store all of the products you use for your shower routine on the caddy.
It keeps everything organized and in one place. You can use command hooks to hang these up or just hang them up on your shower head.
19. 3-TIERED TRAY
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
Take a look at your bathroom counter right now. If there is a lot of stuff on there then you could probably use a tiered tray.
They are very small so if you don’t have a lot of counter space, this is great. Keep all of your daily essentials on the tiered tray.
Assign each level a category to make it more organized and practical. For example, the first could be skincare, the second could be hair products, and the last can be your daily makeup.
20. ACRYLIC WALL SHELVES
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
This is one of my favorite bathroom organization ideas. I know most people keep their face products on the counter because it is very convenient.
But let’s face it, it doesn’t look too good. Over time things will start to pile up and start getting messy. A great solution to this problem is installing acrylic wall shelves next to your mirror.
I say acrylic because these don’t stand out much and go with every aesthetic. Keep all of your skincare, oral hygiene, and body care products on these shelves.
They are very practical, cute, and budget-friendly. No one wants to break the bank to keep things organized, haha!!
21. USE A LADDER SHELF
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
Need some bathroom organization ideas for smaller spaces? No problem! A ladder shelf is what you’re looking for.
They can perfectly fit into tight spaces and offer lots of storage space. Keep your toilet paper rolls, extra towels, and a few decorative items on the ladder.
I suggest keeping this near your sink for easy access.
22. MASON JAR ORGANIZER
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
Don’t have a lot of cash to spend on organization items? Worry not because you can DIY this bathroom organization idea for less than ten dollars.
The main thing you need is the mason jars. You also need some tools and supplies to put everything together but why buy those when you have a handyman dad, right?
Go on over to your parent’s house and borrow the tools you need or, better yet, have your dad make it for you. Haha, just kidding (maybe).
Here is the full tutorial.
23. LABEL THE DRAWER DIVIDERS
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
This is such a genius idea. If you live with roommates or your family, you need to recreate this bathroom organization tip.
Buy however many drawer dividers you need and write down each person’s name on the divider using a black Sharpie.
This way, nothing will get mixed up and everyone is responsible for keeping their part of the drawer tidy.
24. USE TURNTABLES/ LAZY SUSAN
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
I have no idea why they are called lazy susans but they are great for storage and organization. I used to just stuff all of my products in my closet without organizing anything.
It was actually just a couple of months ago I found a body lotion that I had bought two years before and it had turned this gross green/yellow color.
Don’t let that be you and use up all of your stuff, haha! Placing your things on a lazy Susan is great because you can turn it around and get a clear view of all of your products.
This way, you know what you have and are more likely to use it up BEFORE it expires.
25. CORNER BATHROOM COUNTER ORGANIZER
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
I hate when there is absolutely zero space to utilize on your bathroom counter. You probably couldn’t even fit three products on there.
If you have very little counter space, you need to get a corner bathroom counter organizer.
These are awesome because one, they offer lots of storage space, and two, they come kind of curved just like the sink so they fit perfectly and look great.
26. ROLLING CART ORGANIZATION
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
Rolling carts are amazing! If I’m being honest, they are probably one of my top 3 organization items. They are also great if you have very little space in your bathroom.
You can move these wherever you want without any stress or hassle. You can keep this cart by your bathtub or somewhere near your bathroom sink.
Keep things like pads, tampons, extra toilet paper, and a few cleaning supplies on there. I also suggest you keep some type of air freshener on there as well.
I recommend reed diffusers since you don’t have to burn them and they last for a very long time.
27. USE A TOWEL RING
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
You probably already have a towel ring in your bathroom or some kind of rod. You can keep your body and hand towels there.
I suggest you use the towel ring for smaller towels because the larger ones weigh more so it might break.
I know it’s obvious that we should be using the rod or the towel ring to hang our towels but some just leave it on the counter or it ends up being on the floor.
That is another reason why the bathroom gets messy so fast. So make sure your towels are hung up.
28. DRAWER FOR HAIR TOOLS/ACCESSORIES
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
I cannot tell you how many times I’ve bought a new pack of hair ties and I end up losing them the same day.
I really don’t even know how. Maybe my memory just sucks or my little sister is behind it, lol! Designating a drawer for just your hair tools and accessories is a brilliant idea.
Not only does it look so aesthetic but, you don’t need to spend over 30 minutes looking for that one hair tie that you really need because you’re having a bad hair day.
Use acrylic drawer dividers to give the accessories and hair tools their own little spot. Keep all of your hair brushes in one divider, scrunchies in the next, and so on.
29. ORGANIZE YOUR FEMININE PRODUCTS
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
This is an absolute must no matter the size of your bathroom. Organize your feminine products for that time of the month using drawer dividers.
Just like above, I recommend giving your period products their own little drawer as well. Keep your pads, tampons, wet wipes, and panty liners in each of the dividers.
This is also awesome because if you’re running low on something, you’ll know since everything is properly organized.
30. DIY MAGNETIC MAKEUP ORGANIZER
You can never really have enough counter space it seems. If you need an organizing solution for all of the makeup products that are always out on your bathroom counter, this is for you.
Make this DIY magnetic wall makeup board and solve all your problems. You will need to get a bit crafty for this but it is fairly easy to recreate.
This makeup board is a great way to keep your counter clutter-free and always looking the best that it can.
Just stick a magnetic strip to the back of any product and place it on the board to get it out of your way.
Here is the full tutorial.
31. WALL-MOUNTED ROLLED TOWEL HOLDER
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
This is another great way to organize your towels. Buy yourself a sturdy wall-mounted towel holder and place all of your towels there.
These are incredibly convenient and will keep your bathroom clutter-free. You’ll need to roll up your towels before you place them on the rack for this.
This organizer can also work for large shampoos and conditioners, bath robes, and cleaning supplies.
32. TRAY FOR HAND TOWELS AND Q-TIPS
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
A tiered tray is great for many things and one of them includes organizing all of your things. Keep your hand towels, tissue paper, cotton rounds, and Q-tips on this tray for easy access.
Whenever you wash your hands, you’ll need a towel to dry them off. So it’s good to have a couple within reach.
Doing this will also ensure your counter space remains clutter-free and spacious.
33. 3-TIER METAL WIRE BASKET STORAGE
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
Make sure you have extra toilet paper and towels on hand so no one is in an uncomfortable situation. Lol, just kidding! (maybe).
Use a 3-tier wire basket storage to keep all of your extra toilet paper rolls and towels there. I suggest you keep around 3-4 backups just in case.
If you already have a little basket in your bathroom, just switch it out for this. It takes up no more floor space but offers h*ll of a lot more storage room.
34. KEEP YOUR HAND SOAP ON A WOODEN RISER
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
How cute is this bathroom setup? One of the main reasons why your bathroom looks cluttered or messy is because the countertop is not properly organized.
I suggest using a wooden riser to keep your hand soap and lotion. It will keep your hand essentials organized and it also serves as decor.
You can also keep your hand towel on your counter as well using a towel holder. Place this beside the wooden riser so it doesn’t get wet while you’re washing your hands.
Add a little potted plant to the mix to finish the look.
35. TIERED WALL HANGING SHELF
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
Want something that offers a lot of space but is also super cute? This 3-tiered wall hanging shelf organizer is just what you’re looking for.
First, you’ll want to attach a command hook to your desired area of the wall. Now just hang the floating shelf on the hook.
You can keep practically anything you want on those shelves.
Extra toilet paper rolls, hand soap, candles, and a few decorative items will do wonders for the overall look of your bathroom.
36. WALL BASKET ORGANIZERS
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
Mount a few baskets to the wall to create a great organizer. You can use command hooks for this.
Store a few extra rolls of toilet paper, personal hygiene products, and other day-to-day essentials in there.
This is also amazing for smaller bathrooms since it doesn’t take up a bunch of space.
37. USE WALL HOOKS
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
Wall hooks are another super simple organizational idea. You can hang up your towels or bath robes on these hooks.
You can also buy a couple of hanging baskets and place your other items like skincare and body care inside.
And then hang the baskets up on the hooks as well. It saves you a ton of space and is insanely easy.
38. DIY BATHROOM MIRROR STORAGE
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
This one’s for all the crafty ladies. If you love to DIY and work on projects, you are going to love this.
This is a full-body mirror that also doubles as storage space. The mirror is great for checking your outfit, makeup, and hair before you head out the door.
There is also a bunch of storage space inside that you can use to store skincare, makeup, body care, shower essentials, and cleaning products.
This project will cost you about $100 and will take some time. If you are like me and are too lazy to do all that work, you can just buy a storage mirror from Amazon.
Here is the full tutorial.
39. COUNTER ORGANIZATION
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
The counter should remain clutter-free and organized at all times. It’s very easy to just leave things out and about so make sure you store away everything after you are done.
Get a tiered tray and keep only the things you use on a daily basis. Such as toothpaste, face wash, your daily makeup products, hair spray, and hair brush.
If you don’t reach for it every day, then you should probably just store it away until you are in need of it.
40. SHOWER ORGANIZATION
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
Use a shower shelf to organize your shower essentials. You can get them on Amazon for like twenty bucks.
I’ve been seeing so many videos and pictures of people with over 30 bottles of body wash in their shower.
I really don’t see the point of all of that because it will most likely expire before they even get to use it.
So, I suggest keeping around one or two bottles of your daily shower products that you actually use on the shelf.
41. MAKEUP DRAWER
RECREATE THIS IDEA:
I think I can speak for all of us when I say makeup is the number one thing that is always out on the counter.
I honestly just forget to put mine back in my makeup bag or I’m just too lazy to pick it up, haha! If you have a lot of makeup that needs organizing ASAP, then clear out a drawer.
Insert acrylic dividers and then start placing your makeup products inside. Make sure to categorize so you know exactly where something is.
Give your face products their own compartment, your blushes, eyeliners, lip products, and so on.
