How to Make the Most of Every Inch of Your Bathroom Storage

Bathrooms are notoriously hard to organize and often house a large variety of beauty and health care products in a limited amount of space. Simply host Haley Cairo was tired of seeing her products scattered around the bathroom sink—so she decided it was time for a big reorganization project.

She started by taking everything out of her cabinets and assessing whether she still needed or used each item. Then she measured the cabinets to determine how much space she had to work with.

Next, it was simply a matter of sorting everything into categories that make sense (i.e., all hair products together, all face care together, etc.) and finding the right bins to keep everything tidy. In many cases, Haley opted for storage options that were designed for closets and kitchens, but still work perfectly in the bathroom. Using opaque storage may make your bathroom storage look less cluttered, but clear containers let you see what's where to find exactly what you need quickly.

Here's what Haley used to make over her bathroom storage.

This divided bin makes it easy to sort and store items in your bathroom—and the handles make it easy to transport it where you need it.

Haley uses these roomy sweater drawers to hold many of her bathroom products. You can buy dividers for an additional $10 to help you organize each drawer.

Clear Stackable Large Shoe Drawer

These clear acrylic drawers aren't just for shoes—they're the perfect size for smaller toiletries (and they stack on top of the sweater drawers!). Haley added the $10 dividers to organize products.
