Drawer Disaster? Here’s How to Organize Bathroom Storage Like a Pro
You open the drawer looking for tweezers… and find four lip balms, two crusty toothpaste caps, a hair tie from 2009, and a mystery item that might be part of an old razor? 😬
Bathroom drawers have a sneaky way of becoming clutter catch-alls—but it doesn’t have to be that way. With a little love (and a few bins), you can transform your drawers and cabinets from chaotic to calming in under an hour.
Because let’s face it: when your bathroom is organized, your day feels more organized.
🧺 Why Bathroom Storage Needs a Reset
Unlike other rooms, bathrooms have to juggle function, hygiene, and storage—all in a small, steamy space. That means you need a system that works with your daily routine, not against it. If you’re digging through your drawer every morning like it’s a treasure hunt, it’s time for a refresh.
Getting organized in the bathroom:
- Saves time in your routine
- Prevents you from rebuying things you already own
- Makes cleaning a breeze
- Helps you stay on track with your clean living goals
And I promise—once you organize your drawers, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.
🔍 Step-by-Step: Drawer & Cabinet Organization That Sticks
- Clear it all out
Empty every drawer and cabinet. Wipe down the surfaces using your Norwex EnviroCloth and a little water or diluted Hard Surface enzyme cleaner to remove buildup and dust. - Sort and toss
Group similar items together—makeup, oral care, skincare, hair tools, first aid. Toss anything expired, crusty, or collecting dust. Be ruthless (but kind!). - Use organizers like a boss
You don’t need fancy bins (unless you want them!). Drawer inserts, old boxes, or small containers work just fine. The key is giving everything a designated home so it stays in place. - Vertical > horizontal
Stack cotton rounds, wipes, and products vertically when possible. It saves space and keeps everything visible so you don’t end up with the dreaded “drawer graveyard” of products. - Label if needed
Especially helpful for under-the-sink zones or shared bathrooms. Labels keep everyone on the same page—and out of your favorite drawer. - Maintain it weekly
Once you’ve done the hard part, it’s easy to keep up. Just take 2 minutes every week to tidy up, wipe out crumbs (where do they even come from?), and put things back in their spots.
💡 Small Changes, Big Impact
The organization of the bathroom drawer and cabinet doesn’t have to be a weekend project or Pinterest-perfect. It just has to work for you. The goal is to create systems that make your mornings easier, your products last longer, and your space feel a little more like a spa (or at least less like a clutter cave).
