Fortunately, there are a ton of hacks and ideas to help keep this room well-organized and functional – while still looking clean and stylish. Our curated list below features bathroom organization ideas and tips on how to organize anything from a spacious master bath to a tiny powder room.

So scroll down and find the inspiration you’ve been searching for to optimize and elevate your bathroom!

CLEAR drawer BINS

get the look:

Pull-out drawers under the sink or inside cabinets make it possible to store multiple containers on top of one another and make the best use of your space.

This is fantastic for items like makeup, skincare, and hair accessories since it reduces the time needed to dig through cluttered bins and shelves. We also love the idea of using smaller bins inside these drawers for items that tend to get tangled up!

tidy tURNTABLES

get the look:

Use tiered turntables in your cabinets to store your everyday essentials. We love this system for so many reasons – everything stays visible, organized, and easily accessible, and nothing ends up knocked over or buried in the corners of your cabinet.

You can also add a turntable for your most used items on your countertop.

the label system

get the look:

Adding labels to bins, baskets, and shelves helps everyone in the house quickly identify the contents and grab what they need.

We recommend using this method if you want to ensure everything will have a home as soon as you bring it into your home since this system creates a strong foundation for an organized and clutter-free space. 

bamboo & wicker

get the look:

Bamboo and glass containers paired with wicker baskets add a natural elegance to your bathroom while keeping things tidy.

The glass canisters are perfect for storing cotton swabs, bath bombs, makeup rounds, and more, while the wicker baskets can hold plush hand towels or keep small items contained in one place. 

added storage 

get the look:

Add a tall cabinet or hutch to your bathroom for extra storage. Whether you want to store backup items, bath towels, and your daily must-haves – a cabinet will give you the extra space you need for all of it.

Plus, we love that this piece takes advantage of vertical space so you can maximize the space you have within your bathroom. If you prefer something short and wide for added counter space, opt for a credenza instead.  

emergency essentials

get the look:

Designate a drawer for emergency essentials, such as band-aids, medicine, and other first-aid supplies.

We think every household needs an organized emergency drawer, ensuring you have quick and easy access to whatever you may need in urgent situations.

clever corner storage

get the look:

If your bathroom has a small, compact closet that’s hard to work with, we recommend adding corner shelves to utilize this overlooked area.

We also love the stylish, elegant storage containers – they’re a must to elevate a simple and cluttered space like this and keep things organized in a tight space. 

acrylic shelves

get the look:

Clear acrylic shelves are ideal for creating space to store your bathroom essentials while reducing visual clutter caused by traditional furniture. We love how these shelves work for any aesthetic, and they’re excellent for storing both your favorite beauty products and decor.

If you don’t have much floor space, you can easily find acrylic wall shelves to create a similar aesthetic that functions just the same. 

customized space

get the look:

You can customize storage within a drawer via small trays and bins – we absolutely love the iDesign line of containers used in my bathroom drawer above. It’s easy to find drawer organizer sets online and in-store, and you can mix and match these containers to make them fit in your space.

These are definitely great to keep for small items, like hair ties, bobby pins, floss picks, and anything in between. We also love that these can adapt to your bathroom as you add or remove items.

bins for backups

get the look:

Store backups for essential items like toilet paper, feminine products, shampoo, conditioner, face wash, and more using bins underneath your sink. This bathroom organization system ensures you’re always stocked up on your favorite products without creating visual clutter. 

categorized cabinet

get the look:

Some smaller items can be hard to keep upright and organized, so using categorized bins and baskets to separate the tiny items by type (like hair care, dental, skincare, etc.) makes it easy to maintain order. 

We also love the use of a small acrylic makeup stand to hold nail care items, making it easy to pull out, use, and put right back in place!

Organized Kids Bath

get the look:

We love the simple and cohesive look of these matching containers for washcloths and bath toys in a kids bathroom . Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, but containers are also more affordable when you buy them in a set.

The iDesign collection is perfect for drawers because the edges are straight and they can easily be mixed and matched to fit your drawers as you prefer. 

ladder shelf

get the look:

A ladder shelf is a stylish way to add storage without taking up too much space. It can hold towels, decor, and baskets of toiletries, adding both function and charm to your bathroom.

We love this for a boho bathroom or any aesthetic that features natural elements. 

diy vanity

get the look:

Use an acrylic cosmetic tray for a budget-friendly, DIY vanity that works in both small and big spaces. You can separate your blush, lipstick, eyeliner, and more to keep everything neat as you get ready for the day.

Pair this with pull-out drawers on top of your vanity and a simple, chic wooden container for your brushes!

display trays

get the look:

Decorative trays can elevate your bathroom while creating a space for your most frequently used items. Set perfume bottles and skincare products on the trays to display each piece, making it easy to grab what you need and put it back for an efficient space that also looks beautiful. 

stackable bins

get the look:

Using stackable bins is another of our favorite ways to use all the vertical space you have and make the most of a closet or cabinet. You can clearly see what’s in each container and access them quickly, and the stacking bins have a streamlined and unified look.

We adore the earthy, stylish bamboo, but you can also find stackable plastic, metal, or acrylic bins. 

makeup bags

get the look:

Organize your cosmetics with multiple makeup bags. You can customize the categories to work best for you – opting for one bag for lip products, one for eye products, etc., or creating a daily, travel, and special occasions combo to keep items commonly used together in the same bag without creating unnecessary clutter.

We recommend choosing bags that feel structured and slightly stiff but have a clear front so you can see what you’re grabbing without opening anything up. 

contained clutter

get the look:

The medicine cabinet is one place that can quickly become cluttered, especially since smaller items tend to get stored there. We love the idea of using small containers to keep the shelves organized. We recommend clear bins so you and your family members can see the contents before pulling anything off the shelf. 

drawer inserts

get the look:

Drawer inserts are handy in most spaces, but this is especially true for the bathroom. Combine sectioned inserts with open ones to give yourself plenty of options for storing makeup, hair accessories, and skincare.

These are great at keeping items together and preventing them from moving around freely in the drawer and becoming jumbled.

guest bathroom

get the look:

Create an under sink set for your guest bathroom to keep it clean and tidy. Bins and pull-out drawers can hold essential backups like toilet paper, hand soap, and extra towels.

This makes it easy to keep your bathroom guest-ready and ensures visitors can restock anything they need without sorting through a cluttered cabinet. 

behind the door

get the look:

The back of the door is often an under-utilized space that can make a difference in how much you can store in your bathroom. We love these over-the-door racks since they’re adjustable and can be altered to customize your storage.

Ikea and The Container Store are the perfect places to shop for these, and you can definitely find them for a price that doesn’t break the bank. 

metal baskets

get the look:

Metal baskets give this bathroom a modern and chic aesthetic while providing a sturdy storage system for items like towels, extra toiletries, and more. They’re an excellent alternative to acrylic containers since they’re still see-through but give your space an elevated and spa-like aesthetic. 

corner caddies

get the look:

For a walk-in shower or a tub and shower combo that just doesn’t have enough space for your body and hair care items, corner caddies are a must. These tuck neatly into the corner of your shower, leaving you plenty of space to move around as needed while also giving you plenty of extra storage.
