How to Keep Your Bathroom Organized All Year

Share This Post

Let’s face it—bathroom clutter doesn’t take a vacation. Between morning routines, evening wind-downs, and family members with different needs, your bathroom can quickly turn into a high-traffic disaster zone. But with a few smart systems in place, you can keep your space organized, clean, and stress-free all year long.

At Kustom Klosets, we believe good bathroom organization starts inside the cabinets. From custom drawer inserts to seasonal storage swaps, here’s how to design a bathroom that stays calm, clean, and clutter-free—no matter what life throws your way.


🧴 1. Use Drawer Inserts to Create Instant Order

If everything in your drawers rolls around or gets tangled up, you’re not alone. The quickest way to solve this? Drawer inserts.

  • Acrylic or wood organizers keep toothpaste, floss, hair ties, and makeup in designated zones.

  • Custom-cut inserts ensure a perfect fit in your vanity drawers—no wasted space or awkward gaps.

  • Tiered trays let you see everything at a glance, instead of digging through layers of clutter.

Pro tip: Reserve one small insert as a catchall for items you use daily—then reset it each night for a clean start in the morning.


🧼 2. Store by Category, Not by Person

Instead of giving each person their own random space, organize by use category. This keeps duplicate products to a minimum and simplifies your routine.

  • One bin for skincare, one for hair products, one for first aid, etc.

  • Use labels on baskets or containers, especially in shared cabinets.

  • Keep daily-use items in drawers, and backup products in higher cabinets or linen towers.

Group items the way you actually use them—“getting ready,” “night routine,” or “kids’ bath time.”


🧺 3. Add Hidden Helpers: Trays, Hampers & Hooks

Built-in storage can work even harder with a few hidden features:

  • Pull-out hampers make laundry feel less like a chore—and keep clothes off the floor.

  • Under-sink rollout trays give you access to the deep back corners where products often disappear.

  • Towel hooks on inside cabinet doors keep daily-use items off the counters but within reach.

If you’re remodeling or designing a new vanity, ask about soft-close drawers, interior lights, and hidden outlets to reduce visual clutter.


🌸 4. Swap by Season

You probably don’t need your self-tanner, allergy meds, or cough drops year-round. Make a habit of swapping out your bathroom inventory seasonally—just like you would with your closet.

  • Keep a labeled storage bin for each season under the sink or in a nearby closet.

  • Rotate products every few months: lighter lotions and sunscreen in summer; humidifiers and deep moisturizers in winter.

  • Toss expired items during each swap-out to avoid buildup.

This quarterly routine keeps cabinets fresh, functional, and clutter-free—and helps you rediscover products you forgot you had!


🛠 5. Design With Organization in Mind

If you’re renovating or building a new bathroom, we highly recommend designing storage into the plan from the beginning. A few of our favorite custom cabinetry features include:

  • Deep drawers instead of hard-to-reach base cabinets

  • Vertical dividers for curling irons, brushes, or flat irons

  • Medicine cabinets with built-in outlets for charging razors or electric toothbrushes

  • Tower cabinets for linens, overflow toiletries, and seasonal items

When everything has a place, your bathroom stays organized naturally—no daily effort required.
