Picking the Right Organizing Products for Your Bathroom

One of the most commonly asked questions I receive is "what products should I use to actually keep my things organized?"

Well, this series of blog posts is dedicated to explaining why we pick the containers that we do for each space. Containers are great for creating systems because at the end of the day, they’re the things that keep your inventory compartmentalized and create a true system. Of course, they can add to the vibe of a room too, which makes it fun! To get a basic understanding of why you might opt for certain products, read this deep dive into the benefits of different materials, shapes, and functions!

The fourth post in this series is about all things bathroom product. To find the best containers for lasting systems, it takes some time. You should think long and hard about the intention behind your bathroom inventory, and how you can build an organization system around that. We’ve worked in thousands of bathrooms, so we have a deep understanding of which products work best. Here are my top tips for picking the right organizing products for your bathroom!

As you begin, you should start by asking yourself these questions about your bathroom products:

Structured plastic is usually the default pick in bathrooms because it’s easy to wipe down and with a mostly liquid inventory, spills are going to happen! In drawers, you’re probably not looking to stack containers, so open containers are great. Under the sink, however, stacking is key to making the most of the awkward space, so lidded containers are ideal. We love utilizing clear containers in the bathroom because they make it easy to find anything in a moment’s notice. If you decide against micro-sorting or using smaller dividers within drawers/bins, but you still want a clean and refreshed look every time you step into the bathroom, consider using opaque containers to conceal items.

Top drawer picks

Great for giving each toiletry its own home within the drawer.

A less expensive alternative to acrylic dividers.

Great for slightly deeper drawers, more space for products in each divider!

Makes it easy to see all products in one fell swoop!

Lower/deeper drawer picks

These smaller bins allow for more detailed organizing.

A larger option for bigger items such as hair products.

This makes it possible to put away your heat tools immediately!

Creates more structure for hair tools and silicone holder fits inside!

Under the sink picks

These are wide and can be micro-organized with smaller bins.

A smaller option that's great for narrow spaces or products.

Another stackable option that comes in various sizes!

Great for creating compartmentalization within the acrylic drawers.

Countertop picks

Great for additional storage on countertop!

Adds style and great for perfume or everyday routine items!

Great for displaying and organizing makeup on the counter.

These make it easy to contain everyday cotton!

Storage cabinet picks

Handles make it easy to pull out and see all items in the back!

Open and stackable, and have handles for easy pull out.

Use these to micro-sort within large bins or stack on each other.

Store and easily access taller products!

No matter how you decide to tackle your bathroom, what’s most important is that you choose products that are going to work for your needs daily. It’s important to really think about the intention and purpose the products will serve in your system when you roadmap your bathroom out.
