Ever since I started looking at apartments, I was obsessed with finding the best bathroom organization tips and tricks.

There are so many different ways to incorporate organization into your bathroom to ensure that it's always looking clean and clutter free.

Here are some of my favorite bathroom organization tips and some that I personally used in my own bathroom when I moved into my first apartment.

This post is all about bathroom organization.

Best Bathroom Organization Ideas:

1. Use Lazy Suzans for Easy Access to Products

Recreate this bathroom organization:

A great bathroom organization idea is by using lazy susan type containers. This makes finding products so much easier since you can just spin it around to find what you need.

I used these in my cabinets so I wouldn't have to dig around to find things that were hidden in the back. I'm obsessed with how easy this made things and how much more organized my bathroom feels.

2. Organize Products By Use

One of my favorite bathroom organization hacks is organizing products by use and category. When organizing my bathroom, I took everything out and planned out with sticky notes where I wanted each type of product to go. This way everything was way easier to find.

I then put all the products together by category and added them to the shelves in the planned space.

3. Clear Dividers in Vanity Drawers

Recreate this bathroom organization:

Drawers can become incredibly messy very quickly. By adding a few clear dividers to your vanity drawers, you can keep all your products separated and in one space.

I personally used a variety of sizes for the clear containers in my drawer so I could fit all of my different products.

4. Organize Towels on Towel Rack

Instead of hanging towels, keep them in this sleek towel rack. This is a more unique way to store towels and also saves space in your cabinets or closet where you would otherwise store towels.

You could also get accent color towels to add more color to your bathroom decor.

5. Under The Sink Slide-Out Drawers

Recreate this bathroom:

If most of your bathroom storage is under the sink, using slide out drawers makes retrieving items much easier. This also ensures that every item has a place, instead of having things randomly placed under the sink.

This is also a great way to keep things off the counter, making the space look much cleaner.

6. Label Clear Containers

Recreate this bathroom:

To add a cute touch and ensure that you know where things go, add a label to your clear containers.

I love how this bathroom utilized a variety of different container sizes and added a bubbly cursive font to a few of the containers. Such an adorable and functional touch.

7. Over-the-Toilet Storage

In a bathroom with very little space, it can be difficult to find places to keep all your things. I know as a girl with a lot of products, it can be hard to organize everything when there isn't much space.

Utilizing the space above your toilet is a great way to use space that you normally wouldn't. There is a wide range of organization options for over the toilet so there is definitely something for every space and aesthetic.

8. Hide Feminine Products in Small Woven Container

No one wants to have their feminine products visible in their bathroom, especially if they plan to have guests use the bathroom.

Find cute containers to hide them in while also adding a touch of decor to your bathroom organization. It's a win-win!

9. Store Items Inside Cabinet Door

Unfortunately, hair products and tools can take up a lot of space and also get in the way with the long cords they carry.

A great way to utilize the unused space inside your cabinets is storing hair tools inside the cabinet door. This hanging storage is perfect for the hair essentials!

10. Utilize Wall Space as Storage

To keep products off of your counter space, using the wall space above is a great bathroom organization option.

11. Over-the-Toilet Shelving

Over the toilet shelving is another great bathroom organization hack that utilizes unused space. Instead of adding a picture frame of decor item, adding shelves is a functional way to add organization while also adding decor.

You can mix in bathroom products with other accents such as candles or greenery to make it more cohesive with the rest of the bathroom decor.

12. Glass Canisters for Storing Essentials

If you're a makeup junky with a large variety of different products, storing them in a container specific for makeup is a perfect way to keep your products organized and clean.

I used to just throw them in a makeup bag, but it'd take me even longer to get ready because I'd have to dig through to find things. My makeup would also get all over and make my products dirty.

Definitely recommend getting an organization container for your makeup. I have this one and it's amazing!
