Bathroom Drawer Organization Solutions
If your bathroom drawers have been in disarray for far too long; if the curling iron and the shaving razors are sitting next to each other and it just doesn’t make sense; if you think it’s high time you got organized, keep reading this guide! You’ll learn how to organize bathroom drawers – and keep them organized. New bathroom drawers mean a new you.
How to Begin Organizing Bathroom Drawers
Step 1: Declutter. Get rid of anything you don’t need anymore. The expired eye cream, the panned eyeshadow palette, the curler set from decades ago. It’s all got to go.
Step 2: Clean. Junk drawers and the items inside them are never the most sanitary, especially when they’re in a place constantly surrounded by moisture. Remove all of your items, wipe them down, and allow them to dry. Be sure to wipe and dry the inside of the drawer as well before replacing the items.
Step 3: Group like items. Arrange similar items together for easy access. Everything you use to get ready in the morning should be the easiest to access. All other items can be grouped by area of maintenance. Hair brushes, extra conditioner and shampoo, flat irons, and other hair-care products belong in a hair section. Lotions, creams, bath bombs, and other skin-care products belong in a skin-care section. Floss, mouthwash, toothpicks, and other similar items belong in a dental hygiene section.
Step 4: Store. Place each group in its own container and put them back into the drawer neatly. However you decide to store your groups, make sure they’re stored in a way that is pleasing to the eyes.

Baskets are a beautiful and useful way to organize bathroom drawers. Baskets come in many different materials, designs, and sets that will be helpful for tailoring your bathroom storage to your needs. Most baskets have holes in them and won’t allow moisture to collect at the bottom, perfect for a room that is constantly surrounded by moisture! When you group your similar items into a single basket, it also makes it easy to take that basket out of the drawer and move it elsewhere. If you like to do your makeup in the bathroom, try storing your makeup in a basket so that you can pull the basket out of the drawer and place it on the countertop for easier access.
Bathroom Accessory Trays
Bathroom accessory trays are the answer when you’re questioning how to organize bathroom drawers while still keeping them looking beautiful. The tray above is a beautiful gold color with rounded edges and a raised edge. It’s worth mentioning that while these trays are beautiful, they must be functional in order to be helpful when organizing bathroom drawers. That’s why it’s important to get a tray with a raised edge so that you can store items in your drawer without them sliding out of place when opening and closing the drawer. They’re great for storing an array of smaller items like jewelry, bobby pins, and eye-cream jars.
Lazy Susans
No, this isn’t a kitchen organization guide. But think about it! While it is uncommon to think of lazy Susans belonging in the bathroom, bathroom drawers are home to a lot of products that are similar in height. Reaching toward the back of your bathroom drawer for a refill bottle of shampoo or conditioner can result in everything being knocked over. Instead of trying to weave your arm through to get to the back, try bringing the items toward you. A lazy Susan will keep you from knocking over items and then leaving cleaning them up until “next time.” This bathroom storage solution ensures that you're organizing your bathroom drawers to keep them organized.
Drawer Organizers
Drawer organizers are the perfect solution to messy drawers everywhere. Drawer organizers are as useful as they are versatile. With the proper organizers, you can use one for any drawer in the house including the kitchen, office, and (of course) the bathroom. Organizing bathroom drawers with drawer organizers is easy, but with a vast array of organizers available, choosing the right one for you can be tricky. Try taking inventory of the things you need to organize and what size your drawers are. Keeping these things in mind will help narrow down what kind of drawer organizer you need.
Bins
Organizing bathroom drawers is easy with bathroom storage bins. They are very similar to baskets in that they are available in different sizes, shapes, etc., but they do have one benefit that baskets don't have: lids. This feature allows them to be stackable and allows you to place other items on top of them. They’re a great option for making the most of your drawer space. Having stackable bins inside your bathroom drawer is like having miniature organized drawers inside of a bigger one.
