How to Organize a Small Bathroom Like a Pro
Small bathrooms can feel like a daily frustration — crowded counters, overflowing drawers, and nowhere to put anything. But with a few smart strategies, even the tiniest bathroom can feel fresh, functional, and organized.
Here’s how to do it — step by step.
🧼 Step 1: Declutter First
Before organizing anything, toss out:
- Expired medicine or skincare
- Empty shampoo bottles
- Old razors, broken clips, dried-up makeup
Less stuff = more space instantly.
🧺 Step 2: Use Vertical Storage
Install wall-mounted shelves above:
- The toilet
- Sink
- Door frame (perfect for backup towels or tissue)
Add small baskets or bins for grouping products neatly.
🧲 Step 3: Make Use of the Back of the Door
Hang a multi-pocket organizer or towel rack. Great for:
- Hair tools
- Extra toilet rolls
- Cleaning gloves
🧴 Step 4: Use Clear Containers for Daily Items
Place daily essentials (toothpaste, face wash, etc.) in a small bin or tray.
Easier to clean + keeps counter tidy.
Bonus: You can carry it to the sink and return it back in seconds.
🧼 Step 5: Add Drawer Dividers
Separate small items like:
- Cotton pads
- Hair ties
- Makeup tools
No more digging for that one thing you need!
🧽 Step 6: Label Everything
Yes — even in a bathroom!
Label bins: Hair, Body, Skincare, Medicine
It makes putting things back easier for everyone in the house.
🛁 Bonus: Use Over-the-Toilet Shelf
This underused space is gold. Add a tall, narrow rack with baskets for:
- Towels
- Soaps
- Spare toiletries
🐾 Final Thoughts
Small doesn’t mean cluttered. With a few smart organizers and a habit of returning items to their place, your bathroom can be a calm, clean, and beautiful space — every single day.
