Small bathrooms get messy fast because every bottle, towel, and tool is fighting for the same few inches.
Pedestal Sink Shelf Wraparound
Pedestal sinks are cute but cruel, so I added a curved shelf that hugs the base and gives you real storage without eating up walking space. I kept it to towels and a basket so it stayed tidy instead of becoming a dumping ground.
Try these:
- Under Pedestal Sink Cabinet: Maximize your bathroom’s vertical space by fitting a curved shelf unit perfectly around your existing sink pedestal.
- Woven Storage Basket: Keep laundry or extra toiletries organized and hidden away with a large, natural woven basket below.
- Luxury White Hand Towels: Create a spa-like atmosphere by neatly rolling fluffy white towels and stacking them on your open shelves.
Stackable Bins Under the Sink
Under my sink used to be a chaotic cave, but adding stackable bins turned it into quick, grab-and-go categories. I keep backups in the back bin and my daily stuff up front so I’m not digging around the plumbing.
Useful items to consider:
- Plastic Storage Bins with Rope Handles: Replicate the look in the photo with these durable bins, perfect for organizing everyday bathroom essentials easily.
- Stackable Open-Front Organizer Bins: Maximize vertical space under pipes using these stackable units that keep supplies accessible without tedious unstacking.
- Minimalist White Utility Totes: Keep your bathroom clutter hidden and streamlined with these simple, clean totes designed for versatile shelf storage.
Pull-Out Trays for Deep Cabinets
In my last apartment, a simple pull-out tray stopped products from disappearing into the black hole behind the pipes. I love that I can slide everything out in one move, even when the cabinet is narrow.
Products that could assist:
- Woven Basket Organizer Tray: Add natural texture and warmth to your drawers while keeping towels and bottles neatly grouped together.
- Under-Cabinet Sliding Drawer Kit: Install a sliding base in deep cabinets to easily access items stored in the back corners.
- Amber Glass Dispenser Bottles: Upgrade your aesthetic by decanting mismatched products into uniform, elegant glass bottles for a spa-like feel.
Wall-Mounted Toothbrush and Soap
In small bathrooms, I always go for wall-mounted holders to free up sink space (and make wiping the counter so much easier). I’ve done this in rentals, too, and it made the whole room feel less cluttered overnight.
Some handy options:
- Wooden Wall Shelf Organizer: Create instant counter space by mounting a sleek wooden shelf near your sink for daily essentials.
- Bamboo Toothbrush Holder Cup: Keep your brushes upright and organized with a natural bamboo cup that adds warmth to your bathroom.
- Round Wooden Soap Dish: Extend the life of your soap bars and keep counters clean with a simple, draining wooden dish.
Drawer Dividers for Tiny Stuff
I use drawer dividers to stop bobby pins, razors, and minis from turning into a junk pile. Once I separated “face,” “hair,” and “first aid,” I stopped buying duplicates because I could actually see what I had.
These products might help:
- Bamboo Drawer Organizer: Instantly neatly partition your beauty tools and essentials with sturdy, eco-friendly bamboo compartments that fit most drawers.
- Small Compartment Trays: Use these modular trays to separate tiny items like bobby pins and hair ties, keeping clutter under control.
- Face Cloth Set: Keep a stack of fresh, soft cloths visible and ready in your new organizer for easy daily access.
Lazy Susan for Daily Bottles
A lazy Susan is my favorite fix for crowded cabinets because everything becomes reachable with one spin. I keep taller bottles on the outside so nothing gets hidden behind them.
A few suggestions:
- Bamboo Lazy Susan Turntable: Organize your daily essentials with this rotating tray, making every bottle accessible with just a simple spin.
- Amber Glass Dispenser Set: Create a cohesive, spa-like look by transferring your lotions and soaps into these matching, refillable glass pump bottles.
- Small Glass Dropper Bottles: Store your favorite serums or essential oils neatly alongside larger bottles for a clutter-free and stylish countertop.
Clear Canisters for Cotton and Swabs
I like using clear canisters for things like cotton rounds and swabs because it looks tidy and you can tell when you’re running low. In my bathroom, swapping cardboard boxes for containers made the shelves feel instantly more “spa” than storage.
Might be a good match:
- Glass Apothecary Jars with Lids: Store your cotton rounds and swabs stylishly in these classic glass jars to achieve an instant spa-like aesthetic.
- Bamboo Wood Vanity Tray: Group your new storage jars on this wooden tray to keep your countertop organized and looking cohesive.
- Organic Cotton Rounds & Swabs Set: Fill your new canisters with these soft, sustainable essentials that look great on display while reducing waste.
A Tray to Corral the Counter
Even in a tiny bathroom, I keep one counter tray for the handful of items I truly use every day. It’s a small move, but it made my sink area look intentional instead of scattered.
Check if these fit your needs:
- Oval Wooden or Concrete Vanity Tray: Instantly neatly organize your daily essentials by grouping them together on this stylish, natural-looking countertop tray.

- Stone Aesthetic Toothbrush Holder Cup: Keep your brushes upright and your sink clutter-free with this durable, textured holder that matches modern decor.
Shower Caddy That Drains Well
I switched to a hanging shower caddy so bottles weren’t lined up on the tub edge, and cleaning got way easier. I always choose something with airflow because I learned the hard way that trapped water equals grime.
Maybe worth checking out:
- Hanging Wire Shower Basket: Look for an open wire frame that hangs securely to maximize airflow and keep your shower essentials dry.

Matching Dispensers to Reduce Visual Clutter
When my shower looked chaotic, it wasn’t always “too much stuff,” it was visual clutter from mismatched labels. I decanted my basics into matching containers, and the shower instantly felt bigger and calmer.
Consider these options:
- Amber Glass Pump Bottles: Create a spa-like atmosphere by decanting your shampoos and soaps into these uniform, refillable amber dispensers.
- Cylindrical Bottle Funnels: Make the refill process mess-free and quick with a simple funnel set designed for narrow bottle necks.
- Waterproof Minimalist Labels: Identify your products clearly while maintaining a clean aesthetic with durable, water-resistant labels for your new bottles.
Hooks Instead of a Towel Bar
I’m team towel hooks in small bathrooms because they’re easier to use and you can fit more towels in less wall space. In my first studio, adding two extra hooks fixed the constant “where do I hang this?” problem.
You might give these a try:

Slim Rolling Cart for Flexible Storage
A narrow rolling cart saved me in a bathroom with zero cabinets because I could park it beside the sink, then roll it out of the way. I used the top for daily skincare and the bottom for backups so it never felt top-heavy.
A few choices to try:
- 3-Tier Metal Utility Cart: Instantly add mobile storage to tight spaces with a multi-shelf cart perfect for holding all your bathroom essentials.
- Wooden Serving Trays or Organizers: Elevate the look of your cart and keep small toiletries contained by nesting these wooden organizers on each shelf.
- Refillable Pump Bottles: Creating a clean, spa-like aesthetic by decanting shampoos and lotions into matching dispensers for reduced visual clutter.
Cabinet-Door Baskets and Hooks
The inside of cabinet doors is pure hidden storage, and I use it for small baskets, hooks, and anything that gets lost in drawers. In my own setup, this is where razors and hair ties live so they’re always easy to grab.
Explore these options:
- Over-the-Cabinet Door Organizer: Maximize your under-sink space by hanging this organizer over the door to store styling tools or cleaning supplies.
- Adhesive Cabinet Door Bins: Stick these clear bins to the inside of your cabinet doors to keep small items like razors organized.
- Woven Storage Baskets: Recreate the organized look in the photo by using sturdy woven baskets to group towels and toiletries together.
Zones for Morning, Night, and Backstock
When I organize a small bathroom, I always create zones: morning, night, and backstock. I do this at home, too, and it keeps my counters clear because only the “today” items stay within arm’s reach.
A few relevant products:
- Wooden Countertop Organizer Tray: Keep your daily essentials sorted and accessible with a stylish multi-compartment tray for your vanity.
- Refillable Soap & Lotion Bottles: Create a uniform, spa-like look by transferring your daily liquids into matching, clean-labeled pump bottles.

Magnetic Strip for Tiny Metal Tools
I mounted a small magnetic strip inside my medicine cabinet to hold tweezers, nail clippers, and little scissors that used to vanish. It’s weirdly satisfying to open the door and see every tool lined up like it has a job.
A few helpful options:

Upright File Sorter for Washcloths
This sounds random, but I store rolled washcloths in an upright file sorter, and it totally stopped the towel pile from collapsing. In my small bathroom closet, it made grabbing one cloth feel as easy as grabbing a folder.
Items that may come in handy:
