Keeping your bathroom cabinets tidy can be a challenge. Think about all the things that get stored in your bathroom. You have hair products, extra towels, cleaning supplies, and medicines, and you can’t forget about those extra rolls of toilet paper. Don’t worry, my friend. There is a way to get that bathroom under control and today I want to share a guide with you; how to organize your bathroom cabinets and make your space feel more refreshed.
How to Organize Bathroom Cabinets
How to organize bathroom cabinets under the sink
Bathroom cabinets under the sink is probably the most tricky for people. It’s a huge space and items get pushed to the back so it’s hard to really see what you have unless you get down on your knees and look, which nobody likes doing. Luckily, we have some products on the market these days that can help. Here’s how you can tidy up your space under the sink.
Step 1: Take everything out of your cabinets
The first step is to go through all your cabinets. Pull everything out, throw out the items you no longer need and sort these items into groups such as hair products, skincare, toothbrushes and tooth paste, makeup, medicine etc. I’m just going to tell you right now, you don’t need those 5 half-used lotions that have been sitting in your cabinets for years. You just don’t.
Step 2: Strategize zones and products
When you are coming up with a plan to organize your space, ask yourself what you use the most? Put your everyday items up front so they are easily accessible. The items that you don’t use as much can go farther in the back.
Depending on your space and your preference will determine which organizing products you should buy, stackable drawers are a great option for big spaces.
Step 3: Use Vertical Space
Don’t forget to make the most of your vertical space! It’s easy to overlook just how much room you have under your sinks, but often we’re not fully utilizing that potential. Think about all that empty space between the bottom of the cabinet and the top shelf—there’s so much storage opportunity. Installing pull-out organizers is a fantastic way to maximize that vertical space while also giving you quick, easy access to everything you need. No more bending down and reaching into the back of the cabinet. With a simple pull, everything is right there in front of you. It not only helps with organization but keeps things neat, tidy, and easily accessible.

The last step in creating a perfectly organized space is labeling each container so you always know exactly what’s inside. This simple step can make a world of difference when it comes to maintaining organization long-term. Whether it’s under the sink, in a pantry, or any storage space, clear labels make finding and returning items to their rightful place quick and easy, saving you time and effort.

Whether you’re going for a fun, customized look or keeping things sleek and simple, labeling is the finishing touch that brings everything together and keeps your space looking at it’s best.
