How to Make the Most of the Space in Your Bathroom Vanity
The cabinet under your bathroom sink can easily become a chaotic mess, a black hole of half-used products, tangled cords, and forgotten toiletries. With pipes cutting into valuable space, items get crammed into every corner, making it nearly impossible to find what you need. Bottles tip over, loose cotton swabs and hair ties collect in random spots, and before you know it, you're digging through a cluttered disaster just to find your favorite moisturizer. Without a system in place, this space can quickly become a dumping ground for everything from extra toilet paper to old beauty products you swore you’d use but never did. We are going to share three easy tips to help you maximize the space without a major renovation. With these simple upgrades, your under-sink cabinet will stay tidy, functional, and effortlessly efficient!
The first step to transforming your undersink cabinet is to take advantage of it’s height by using stackable drawers. These drawers help maximize vertical space, creating separate compartments for all your essentials. The key to making them work efficiently is to organize items by category—one drawer for extra toothpaste and floss, another for skincare, and another for first-aid supplies or travel-sized products. Or if you are makeup up lover, like our client, you can divide your makeup into categories and store each one in it’s own drawer! To make grabbing what you need even easier, label the outside of each drawer so you can quickly find what you're looking for without digging through a jumbled mess. It also helps when putting items back; no more countertop mess!
The next step to organizing your undersink cabinet is to use a turntable to store bottles and cans of beauty products. Instead of digging through a cluttered mess or knocking things over to reach that one bottle in the back, a simple spin of the turntable brings everything within easy reach. This setup keeps your skincare, hair products, and body lotions neatly contained while preventing anything from getting lost in the dark corners of your cabinet. Plus, it helps you see everything you have at a glance, so you’re less likely to buy duplicates or forget about products you already own! That’s an easy way to save money!
The third tip for maximizing your undersink space is to make use of the back of each cabinet door for extra storage. By adding adhesive bins, you instantly create a convenient spot for grab-and-go items that often get lost in the clutter. Store hairbrushes, hair ties, and clips in one bin, keep feminine products within easy reach in another, or use one to neatly stash beauty masks for a quick skincare pick-me-up. This simple trick keeps everyday essentials accessible while freeing up valuable space elsewhere, making your entire setup more functional and organized!
