Are you looking for bathroom drawer organization ideas? I love organization projects and finding the easiest ways to sort items to make the most of a small space. After opening my bathroom drawers one morning I knew it was time to organize my master bathroom again. Just a little cleaning, decluttering, and a few plastic bins from the dollar store, and it’s organized again. Today I want to share the basic steps to organizing your bathroom cabinets so you have easy access to everything you need.
Here’s the before shot – I have enough room in my bathroom vanity drawers, but way too much stuff! it was falling over each other and nothing was within easy reach. It was time to get to work.
The best way to begin is by removing everything from the drawers and cabinets. I went through everything and got rid of anything I wasn’t using, was old, etc.
I vacuumed and wiped out all of the drawers and the cabinet under the sink. You can add drawer liners at this point if you would like.
I ran to the dollar store and grabbed some inexpensive bathroom drawer organizers. Using plastic containers of different sizes is a great way to store items and make the most of every square inch of space available.
I placed the small baskets into the drawers and filled them with similar items. You can use a different container for skincare products, beauty products, hair products, makeup brushes, hair elastics, etc. This will clear off your bathroom counter so you have a clean, uncluttered space.
I went through all 3 drawers doing this same process. This is the perfect way to keep small items from rolling around in the drawers and you can reserve the deep drawers for larger items.
I was able to put some of the backup supplies in the back as well.
I created a basket of cleaning supplies to keep in my bathroom. This would make it easy to clean anything in my bathroom at any time.
I placed it under the bathroom sink in my cabinet.
You can add a little vertical storage space by adding a tension rod under the sink. This is the perfect place to hang cleaning sprays so they are easily accessible. I’m thrilled with much bathroom storage I have now and how clean and organized it all is.
There are several to pick from, and I like using baskets from Walmart or the Dollar Store for inexpensive and effective options.
First empty out your drawers and eliminate anything you don’t need, don’t like, or is expired. Next vacuum and wipe out your drawers. Measure your drawers and buy baskets to organize your drawers. Place items back into the drawers but only what you need.

Chas. My Husband and I are empty nester
. Yay! So my son’s room is now going to be my new craft room.. I found a $40 cabinet on a sale site and painted it to match my newly painted walls! I also had acquired a cute sewing desk in ugly dk brown paint so I sanded it down also painted it with my new room paint.. started to go thru and organize.. I use lots of paint beads, etc.. I can’t wait to get in it and get crafting! what a big difference a little paint makes… I love it!! ?? if I could figure out how to attach a photo I would lol..
Thank you so much for sharing your story Melody and I’m excited for you and your crafting room. It’s so fantastic to have a space to create in, and I totally appreciate that. I also am thrilled about your painting upcycles… that will make you even more excited to go into the room knowing you created it all.
That looks fabulous! I just spent part of my day re-organizing my bathroom drawers too. Thanks so much for sharing with us during Encouraging Hearts and Home. Pinned.
Thank you so much Joanne, I’m thrilled I’m not the only one organizing right now 🙂
I NEED to reorganize my bathroom. Baskets would help! I love the idea of the tension rod for hanging bottles.
Thank you Michelle, and it’s so nice to be able to find what I need now. The tension rod is working out great too 😉
I really love the tension rod idea! I’m gonna have to give that a try!
Thank you Sara – it is great to keep more supplies in there and keep the room as well.
I love to organize too.
Have a great weekend,
Kippi
Thank you Kippi, and I hope have a wonderful weekend as well 🙂
I love the tension rod idea! We recently sold our home and are building new, so I can’t wait to organize the drawers and closets. Thankfully, we got rid of alot before moving so I’ll have less mess going forward! #TrafficJamWeekend
Thank you Antionette and the tension rod definitely helps free up some space. It’s so nice to reduce what you have isn’t it and I love being able to find what I need with ease.
Wow! You did a great job! It looks so neat and organized! I have to do this every few months. Great tips! Thanks so much for sharing! xoxo
Thank you so very much Kristi, and I can totally relate. Seems like if the system doesn’t work we have to try again until we find one that finally sticks.
This post was quite inspirational. Your bathroom looks amazing.
You are so kind Terri, thank you so much
Brilliant! I need to organize two bathrooms. This is giving me solid ideas! #trafficjam
Thank you so much Tracy, it’s been so nice to be able to find things so much easier.
I have one catch-all basket per drawer for some reason. I like how you filled each of your drawers with as many that would fit. I am going to buy some more baskets! And a tension rod!!
Thank you Catherine, it has helped so much – things don’t fly out, and I’m not digging around to find what I want anymore

I never even think to stop at the dollar store to see if they have containers. Thanks for the great idea, Chas.
Thank you Kim, I’m kind of a Dollar Tree junkie 😉
Hi – Great tip about the tension rod! I will try that! I just did this with our bathroom and threw out tons of stuff we no longer use, consolidated stuff and used Dollar Tree containers as well. So far we have managed to keep it organized ! Have a great week !
Thank you and they sell different length and strengths that should help you as well.
Well done! I love the way you provide actionable advice and AFFORDABLE options for organizing.
