Expert Strategies to Organize Your Bathroom from a Home Organizer
Is your bathroom more chaos than calm? Don't worry; we've all been there! A cluttered bathroom can turn your morning routine into a stress fest. But with the right strategies and a little help from your friendly, neighborhood Professional Organizers (that’s us!), you can transform your bathroom into an organized oasis. Here’s how!
Getting Started with Bathroom Organization
Hair products, a crumpled tissue, toothpaste without a lid, and Monday’s coffee cup—does that sound like your bathroom counter? We all know the bathroom can be a tricky space to keep tidy. With many bathrooms being small, lacking storage, and shared by multiple people, it’s easy for things to get out of hand. But fear not! We're here to help you tackle those trouble spots and turn your bathroom into a space you love.
Decluttering Toiletries with Ease
Before diving into organizing, it’s crucial to start with decluttering. Begin by grouping similar items together to categorize what you have. This will make it easier to spot duplicates, and pick out your favorite products in each category. For example, categorize all your makeup by type (blush, foundation, eyeshadow) and you will quickly see how many you have and which ones you use and love most.
Be mindful of how much of a product you’ll actually use and consider removing anything that’s expired, unusable, or doesn’t belong. Think of this as a fresh start for your bathroom—a chance to be intentional about what you keep.
SIMPLE TIP: Many bathrooms lack counter space. Transport your toiletries and items in a box to a larger work surface, like a kitchen table.
Maximizing Bathroom Storage & Organization
After decluttering, it’s time to figure out how to store your favorite eyeshadow palette and bath bombs! Try these practical strategies to maximize storage and keep your bathroom free of clutter:
Think Upwards: Utilize your vertical space. Install shelves, hooks, and over-the-toilet storage to maximize your storage potential and keep essentials within reach.
Divide and Conquer: Use drawer dividers and cabinet organizers to keep everything in its place and make finding items easy. For deep cabinets we love adding pull out drawers.
Keep It Neat: Keep shower and bath essentials organized with shower caddies and wall-mounted dispensers to prevent clutter and slipping hazards.
Personal Space: Assign (and respect) designated areas for each family member’s toiletries and essentials.
Contain the Clutter: Use trays and containers for frequently used items to keep countertops tidy and make cleaning a breeze.
SIMPLE TIP: Swapping for reusable items can reduce the need for extra storage, AND supports a sustainable lifestyle. Discover eco-friendly bathroom swaps in this blog post!
Maintaining An Organized Bathroom
A tidy bathroom requires regular maintenance. Set aside a few minutes each week to reset and put things back in their place. We also recommend setting a reminder in your calendar for a deep clean and declutter every three months. It may seem like a lot, but the more frequently you do it, the easier the task is!

“I realized that my makeup needed decluttering and I needed help. The pictures speak for themselves. She made room in the bathroom drawers for my partner's things and he was so happy to finally have a spot for himself. I would recommend her to anyone that has too much stuff and wants to get rid of some clutter :)” ~ Christine, Edmonton
