declutter under bathroom sink

How To Quickly Organize A Bathroom Vanity

August 27, 2021 · In: Organize, Quick Win Friday

Learn the top three products that will turn your cluttered bathroom vanity cabinet into an organized space in just thirty minutes with these storage superheroes.

Earlier this week I had the absolute honor of creating a video for my design inspiration guru Hunker. I shared my best hacks for organizing a bathroom on a budget, including this drawer storage solution and this easy shower upgrade from the blog. If you haven’t seen the video yet, you can hop over to Hunker’s Instagram page and check it out here.

For today’s Quick Win Friday, I want to dive a little deeper into the products I used under the sink and show you how to pull off the same look in your own bathroom in under 30 minutes. Yep, you heard that right. you can declutter and reorganize under your bathroom sink in the same amount of time as an episode of Shea McGee’s amazing Netflix show Dream Home Makeover. Let’s jump in!

Tiered Drawers

The tiered drawers are a total game changer when it comes to a small bathroom vanity. It allows you to double your storage by going vertical and keeps all your beauty supplies neatly organized inside accessible containers.

I love this mesh tiered drawer because the drawers are removable. I can pull the drawer out and sit it on my countertop without having to be bent over in awkward positions looking for the toenail polish color of the moment.

If your under-sink space is larger, you can double these and sit them side by side for even more storage. I’ve had mine for over seven years and it’s still my favorite bathroom rockstar.

Non-Skid Turntable

It’s no secret that the cabinet under a bathroom sink can get out of hand quickly. It’s dark, hard to get to, and let’s be honest, you can close the doors and hide the mess. Instead of pushing products around to reach the toilet cleaner in the back, add a non-skid turntable (aka lazy Susan) to corral your cleaners and taller beauty supplies.

The no-slip grip on this turntable keeps items from moving and allows me to just turn the plate to get to what I need without causing an avalanche of bottles and cans. If you have the space, use two turntables. One for cleaners and one for hair and beauty supplies. It’s always best to keep them separated when you can.

Divided Basket

Hair appliances are so annoying to store, right? The cords flop all over the place, the appliances are bulky, and most of them don’t even fit in those special door hanger organizers. Instead of tossing them under the cabinet to knock things over and get cords tangled, pick up a divided basket like this one.

The sections help you store your appliances neatly and the cords can tuck down into the bottom. Bonus points for the ability to bring the basket up onto the counter for those days when you need two or three hair appliances at once.

I found mine at HomeGoods and it’s actually a picnic basket for utensils, so if you have a HomeGoods or TJ Maxx nearby you might want to check there first. But Amazon has a bunch, too.

Quick Process For Organizing Under A Bathroom Sink

  1. Pull everything out and throw away any obvious trash.
  2. Wipe down the inside of the cabinet and check for drain leaks.
  3. Stash beauty supplies in the tiered basket.
  4. Arrange cleaners on the turntable.
  5. Fill a divided basket with hair appliances.
  6. Thank yourself the next morning for making your daily routine a little more Organized-ish.

Want to see how my entire bathroom is organized? Here’s a mini tour inside my vanity, drawers, and even my shower! I’m showing you behind the curtain (literally) of how I store my stuff on a daily basis. And if your bathroom needs some major scrubbing, here’s my guide on how to deep clean a bathroom room from top to bottom.

Sometimes we get busy, maintenance tidying gets pu Sometimes we get busy, maintenance tidying gets pushed aside, or another family member accidentally sabotages the entire area you organized last month.
Instead of stressing over it, take it as an opportunity to redo it better this time. Maybe the way you organized that space before was too complicated and hard to maintain. Or maybe it wasn’t categorized enough so things piled up.
When you find a space that lost its Organization Mojo,  empty it out, try something new, and see if that works better.
You’ll find your own signature organizing style through experimentation and get your home Organized-ish one drawer at a time. 😉

Today on the blog, I’m sharing the exact plans and steps of how I designed this pantry and how my handyman helped me bring it to life.
And if you want a full tour of the pantry, head over to my YouTube channel to look inside all the drawers and cubbies. The pantry starts at timestamp 21:14. 🥰

This tray and these canisters were “supposed” This tray and these canisters were “supposed” to be used in a kitchen. The packaging literally said “kitchen storage canister” and “kitchen turntable” and they were in the kitchen storage aisles of the store. But don’t let those labels feel like you’re stuck with only certain types of organizers for each room.
Next time you’re shopping for organizers, look in other aisles and you’ll be surprised at what you’ll find. Bathroom organizers are great in craft rooms, garage storage is perfect for a home gym, office storage is good for kid’s rooms, and kitchen organizers can be used in bathrooms.
If you’ve been struggling to find the right organizers for your home, it’s time to think outside the box. 😉
