From cleaning supplies to your hair dryer, curling iron, shampoo and conditioner, the space under your bathroom sink counter is perfect for storing all kinds of things. We'll show you how to organize your bathroom under sink area so you can always find what you're looking for.
Keep your bathroom counter clear by using the right organizers to help you make the most of the prime storage space under your bathroom sink. It's a quick and easy project that delivers maximum satisfaction.
The first step in organizing the storage space under your bathroom sink is to take everything out. It's amazing how half-empty bottles of shampoo and hair spray can seem to multiply overnight. Discard anything that is old, broken or simply shouldn't be stored there.
Use a tape measure to measure the width, depth and height of your under sink space. Don't forget to measure your actual cabinet door opening. Most bathroom cabinets are 20" deep, so you'll want to make sure your organizers are made for these shallower cabinets.
Use a water-resistant shelf liner to protect your cabinets from makeup, dripping sponges and cleaning supplies.
The hardest part of organizing the space under your sink is working around the pipes. Using stacking drawers is one way to solve the problem. Stacking drawers can help you make use of the vertical space and help keep items from getting lost in the back of the cabinet.
Cabinet-sized Elfa Drawer Solutions are another option. They give you the flexibility to use deep drawers to store tall bottles.
If drawers aren't your thing, use modular stacking bins and baskets also work well. Some are even designed to slide on top of each other to give you easy access to what's stored below.
Another idea is to use expandable organizers made especially for cabinets under the sink. They'll expand to the width of your space while accommodating pipes and other obstructions.
Wiping down the mirror or cleaning the tub and shower is easier when cleaning supplies are stored in an easy-to-grab tote. A handled tote also makes it easy to put everything back neatly when you're finished. A Lazy Susan or spinning tote is another good option for making smaller bottles and supplies easy to grab.
Keep your hair dryer, curling iron and flat iron off your countertop by storing them on your bathroom cabinet door. There are two basic designs of cabinet door organizers. Those that hook over the door and those that mount to the door directly. Several of our options even work both ways, giving you the most flexibility.
