Bathroom Drawer Organization Ideas – 9 easy options
The first step to tidying up bathroom drawers is to analyze what is causing the clutter in the bathroom drawers.
Go through the clutter and see if you have expired products, makeup you’ll never use, dental floss you hate, or other items you can do without.
If you have expired medication, call your local pharmacy to see if they can be returned there for safe disposal.
Many of us hold on to things unnecessarily.
Get rid of the clutter.
Then we can start organizing the “good stuff” that is left. And a few of these bathroom drawer organization ideas actually involve getting stuff out of the drawers and storing them more efficiently somewhere else. (Like under the sink.)
1) Use Small Organizing Baskets
Use baskets or small bins to compartmentalize little items like hair elastics and lip balm.
You could buy a dedicated set of organization baskets (like below), or you could just use the things you already have around the house. Even old bowls can work well to hold hair accessories and other smaller items.
2) Get a matching set of drawer organization containers
If you prefer to have a matching set of drawer organization bins you can get a 10-piece set like this one from POELAND.
How tidy would your bathroom drawers be after using these?
3) Use a Drawer Organization Tray
If you don’t have a nice wooden divider like the one in the photo below you could even use kitchen utensil trays to help organize little items.

4) Put some items into an under the sink organizer
Instead of trying to stuff larger items into a bathroom drawer- where they just barely fit – you could put them in the cabinet under the sink.
To ensure that this space doesn’t overflow with stuff you could get an organizer for under your sink.
If you like the look of this under sink organizer you can see more details on Amazon.

5) Magazine holders for Hair tools (straighteners, curlers, dryers)
Do you have hair appliances stuffed into drawers?
Well, instead of wrapping up your hair appliances and stashing them in a drawer, you could use a magazine holder under the sink or on a shelf.
Magazine holders make a great corral for hair care tools like straighteners, curlers, dryers and more.
Make sure they’ve cooled down before returning to their holders (especially if the magazine holder is plastic!).
6) Get a Medicine Cabinet (don’t store medicine in there though)
Having the extra wall-mounted storage space can really help minimize bathroom drawer clutter.
Just don’t keep your medicine in a medicine cabinet.
Despite the name, a medicine cabinet is not a great place to store your medicine because of the humidity and temperature fluctuations in a bathroom.
(A dark drawer in your bedroom is a better choice to store your medicine…out of reach of kids obviously.)
Above is a stylish medicine cabinet made by Kohler that is available on Amazon.
7) Install small shelves inside the bathroom cabinet doors
There is often wasted space inside a bathroom cabinet door that you can make the most of by installing little shelves.
Maximizing this wasted space means you can get more items out of the bathroom drawers thereby reducing clutter in the drawers. The ones shown below are made by 3M Command Brand.
The product description lists it as almost 10″ long. Make sure it’ll fit inside your bathroom cabinet (and that the door will close) before ordering.
Click here to see more details on Amazon. This is a good “no tools required” type of installation (no drilling or screwing).
I realize this product photo above shows the shelf attached to the wall, but envision it inside your bathroom cabinet door. Will it work for your space?
8) Use an Over the Door Basket Organizer to get items out of the drawers
Here is another “indirect” drawer organizer.
I say indirect because it helps organize your bathroom drawers by removing items from the drawers and storing them elsewhere.
Do you think this would work in your bathroom?

9) Use a Magnetic Strip or even fridge magnets for small metal tools
Another neat idea for this wasted space is to install a magnetic bar (like a magnetic knife holder) inside the bathroom cabinet.
Then you can stick your small metal nail tools, scissors, hair clips or other metal accessories to the bar.
The photo below shows a simple fridge magnet taped to the inside of a drawer. Then you can stick metal items here for easy retrieval.

I hope you’ve enjoyed, and found inspiration from these 9 bathroom drawer organization ideas.
I realize some of them were “indirect” solutions, but even they will go a long way toward reducing clutter in your bathroom drawers.
