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.
