The 19 Bathroom Organizers We Love the Most

It’s where we begin and end each day. For this reason, we want and need our bathrooms to be an organized, spa-like retreat that refreshes and energizes, not a disaster of cluttered chaos that leaves us retreating. 

“An organized bathroom is a gift you can give yourself every day, and less visual clutter and the ability to locate what you need quickly are the greetings we need at the beginning and end of each day,” says Tara Bremer.

Well-made bathroom organizers that are strategically placed help facilitate these morning and evening processes, plus neatly contain items and products a little better in your bathroom, no matter how much or how little bathroom space you have. We’ve curated a list of bathroom organizers to help you save time and keep your bathroom the respite it should be.

Drawer Organizers

Vtopmart 25 PCS Clear Plastic Drawer Organizers Set

With 25 pieces in four different sizes, these organizers are an ideal value set for the organization they provide. The beauty is also in the customization of this set. Mix and match the pieces inside your bathroom drawers for the exact fit lengthwise or widthwise for the items you need to store. If you end up with fewer items or need an additional tray, just pop one into the drawer and rearrange it. 

Clear plastic is a bonus for visibility and allows you to grab that item or product quickly when needed. Although we like the 25-piece set, this set is also available in sets of 15, 25, 37, and 72. Each set includes silicone feet that adhere to the bottom of the organizer and prevent each tray from slipping. 

Dimensions: Four sizes included in set: 9 x 5.9 x 2, 9 x 3 x 2, 6 x 3 x 2, and 3 x 3 x 2 inches | Material: Plastic

The Home Edit Expandable Drawer Organizer

An in-drawer bathroom organizer can maximize storage potential while also keeping items of different shapes and sizes neatly organized and contained. The savvy organization piece cuts the clutter and mess of a vanity, makeup, or toiletry drawer and allows you to add order to a messy drawer easily. 

An additional bonus of this organizer is that it is expandable from 10 to 17 inches wide. Even in a small space like a bathroom drawer, calm and clutter-free can be achieved with a simple, clear organizer that categorizes items. Rubber feet are included to keep the organizer secure. 

Dimensions: 10.5 x 10-17 x 2 inches | Material: Plastic

STORi SimpleSort 3-Piece Stackable Clear Drawer Organizer Set

Suppose you need space for mid-size items such as hair brushes, combs, hair products, makeup brushes, or cosmetic bottles. These medium-sized stackable tray organizers are made to contain and organize frequently used items. They work well to corral and divide toiletry items and tools inside a cabinet drawer and prevent mixed-up items. 

The set includes three organizers, and they can be easily customized for the layout of your drawer. Place them long ways, stack them, or place them side by side to keep a larger drawer tidy. 

Additional sizing and quantity options exist for customizing your drawer space in this line of organizers. The clear plastic creates an airy feel with high visibility and is conveniently easy to clean. 

Dimensions: 9 x 6 x 2 inches | Material: Plastic

Luxe Expanding Acrylic Drawer Organizer

This unique organizer maximizes space by utilizing space in the upper part of a drawer. The acrylic tray has edges that fit onto or over the sides or walls of a drawer which creates another level of space for storing small toiletry items, makeup brushes, or lip glosses. 

The tray’s width is expandable from 13 to 20 inches, allowing it to fit most bathroom drawers. It’s easy to install and simply slides down onto the sides of the drawer. No hardware is needed, and it does not obstruct the motion of pulling the drawer out or pushing it in. When installed in a drawer, it slides back and forth, allowing accessibility to the items underneath it. This versatile tray could even be used for small office supplies in a drawer or small utensils in a deeper kitchen drawer for a highly organized space. 

Dimensions: 8.25 x 13-20 x 1.4 inches | Material: Acrylic

Countertop Organizers

Adoco 2-Tier Lazy Susan Bathroom Organizer

If you love the convenience of a lazy Susan, you’ll want to consider this turntable that levels up the organization game. This circular organizer pulls double duty with a second level over the top of the first level, ensuring visibility and quick accessibility of regularly used items. 

Indeed, keeping all of the everyday items you grab often neatly corralled at your fingertips will save you time in the long run, and as a bonus, it looks nice, too, she says. Note that the sides of this turntable are lower at 1.5 inches, so this one might be best for storing smaller items to avoid items flying off or falling over the side when it’s spinning.

With stainless ball bearings, it has a smooth glide as it rotates. If you have the space to add yet another level, there is also an option for a three-tiered turntable. 

Dimensions: 9.25 x 8.7 inches | Material: Stainless steel, plastic

The Home Edit Mini 2-Drawer Organizer

This smaller countertop organizer can be a vanity or makeup organizer, keeping smaller cosmetic or regularly needed items like cotton balls, contact lenses, brushes, tweezers, or makeup sponges handy and visible. 

We love the size of this organizer. It doesn’t take up too much space but is an ideal size to help stock regularly used items and keep them quickly accessible. This mini organizer includes two pull-out drawers and is slender enough to fit in a standard-size medicine cabinet. 

The durable, clear plastic visibility makes it easy to know when items must be refilled or restocked. Since each drawer stacks on top of the first, if you need more storage, stacking a second set on top is easy for two levels of added storage. 

Dimensions: 3 x 7 x 4.75 inches | Material: Plastic

The added lip on the front side of each bin creates just enough space to keep items securely stowed in place and prevents them from slipping out.

They do not require hardware or drilling to install—instead they have a sticky backing that adheres to a bathroom or shower wall. Just be sure to clean the wall or shower space before adhering to ensure it sticks to the surface.

They work best on smooth bathroom surfaces, like tile, marble, and glass. Avoid using them on painted walls, wallpaper, brick, and concrete surfaces. They’re sturdy, holding up to 23 pounds, and the set includes four hooks.

The L-shape creates a space-saving design, and the caddy can be attached to the wall with sticky adhesive strips that can withstand 40 pounds of weight.

Two hooks for hanging washcloths, sponges, or loofahs are conveniently located at the bottom of the organizer.

Tips for Choosing the Right Bathroom Organizer

Types 

When choosing a bathroom organizer, first analyze the space—whether under the bathroom sink, in deep or shallow drawers, in the shower, or on top of the counter—that you’re trying to improve or maximize.

Then, think about the items you need to place in the organizer. If you need storage for larger hair tools, you will want to think about organizers that are large enough to hold these items and accommodate the bulkiness, like the Yigii Hair Tool Organizer. Consider drawer or countertop organizers if you need organization solutions to keep makeup and loose items corralled and categorized. 

Size and Capacity 

When thinking about the items that you will be stowing, it’s essential to measure your space. Use a tape measure to determine the depths, widths, heights, and lengths you’re working with on the countertop, under the sink, or on a wall. Cross-reference the available space measurements with the measurements of the organizer that you are considering, and be sure the size will fit. 

It’s also important to analyze the type of items you are trying to house. If they are larger bottles of product or hair tools, be sure the height and width of the organizers will work with the items you plan to store in them. A lazy Susan, like the Adoco 2-Tier Lazy Susan Bathroom Organizer, can be a great storage solution for tall bottles.

Material 

Although there are various materials, from acrylic to metal to bamboo to plastic, think about the space in which you will be using your organizer. Since a shower is a moisture-rich area, rustproof or bamboo products, like the Basicwise Over the Shower Head Bamboo Organizer, are a better option. If items need to be visible, consider acrylic or clear plastic. You will also want to consider what materials are aesthetically pleasing to you.

Questions and Answers 

How do you organize a bathroom with no counter space?

Finding space to store essential items in a bathroom can be challenging for many, especially when there is less counter space than you would like. The good news is it is doable even when extra counter space is unavailable. “It's vital to use the under sink area even if you have extra counter space,” says Bremer. 

If you have a small amount of counter space, consider using stackable organizing pieces to keep items in one area rather than dispersed all over the counter. Even if you have ample counter space, it’s useful to store your items in an aesthetically pleasing manner. 

What should you store under a bathroom sink?

In most cases, the space under a bathroom sink includes plumbing. Bathroom cabinets come in different sizes as well, some have ample room, while others inevitably have a tiny space and limited storage. Regardless of the space under the sink, storing items under the sink can be a smart solution for keeping essentials quickly accessible and avoiding too much clutter on top of the counter space. 

“In my own bathroom, I have inexpensive stacking drawers—two drawers for skin care, then one each for hair accessories, nails, dental, and glasses care—under my sink which are all categories of things I use regularly, but I don't need them in my cabinet drawers,” says Bremer. 

It may be necessary to store other items, including cleaning supplies, first aid needs, medications, or hair tools. The key is finding the organizer that works best for your needs and the items you need to store. 

How can you create space in a bathroom?

As hard as it might be to hear this, initiating a thorough edit and decluttering process before organizing is essential to understanding what you need to store and what can be tossed or eliminated. Take it one drawer and one cabinet at a time. 

“We all want clever storage so that we can add as much as possible to a space, but if you have a tight bathroom, be honest about what products you're using and which ones you’re not,” says Bremer. 

Avoid putting it back under the counter if it is not a product you will use again, and consider recycling, donating, or disposing of the item or product. Rather than feeling guilty about not using the item, consider the purchase a learning opportunity about what doesn’t work for you. “Think, ‘Okay, so now I know that moisturizing shampoo makes my hair weighed down, so I'll never buy that again,’” Bremer says.
