Needed Items to Organize Your Bathroom
Ziploc bags or cosmetic bags are great for small things to be stored in, if you have clear bags it makes it easier to see what is in them and then you aren't looking though many bags to find the one thing you want. Also, having garbage bags on hand is good, too. Throw away anything that you know you will no longer be needing. Having some cleaning supplies and gloves are good if things get messy. Also have a tap measure. This will be used to measure your drawers so you know what size containers you will need to purchase.
Throw Away The Trash
Go though each drawer and throw away the things that you no longer need or don't use anymore. Once you have decided to throw something away put it in the trash and once your bags are full move them out of your workspace.
Organize
First, group all of your items into categories like hair products, personal hygiene and toiletries, and nail products. You can put these on your counter tops or on the floor.
Clean
Clean your drawers and cabinets once the products have been removed and placed into the proper categories.
Storage containers
Once your space is clean you should measure the dimensions of your drawers. Write these dimensions down and then take them with you when you go shopping for containers. You don't need to buy new containers if you know that you already own a container that will work. Containers come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. A drawer organizer is great for make-up and will keep your drawers neat. Having organizers is a great way to keep everything in it's place.
Labeling
This can be fun and helpful when wanting to keep order in your bathroom. You can use a label maker or sticky labels that can be cut to the correct size. Labels are great to keep order and to help you know what is in each container and where things need to be placed once you are done using them.
Hair and Cosmetics
Hair and make-up products have over-taken my bathroom, maybe yours' too. Drawer organizers are a good thing to have to keep all of your make-up in. If you have a lot of brushes and hair curlers, keeping them in a small cosmetic bag will reduce some of the clutter and keep everything in one place. Having another bag for hair ties, barrettes, clips, and bobby-pins, is a good thing to have as well.
Medicine Cabinets
Medicine cabinets are a perfect spot for clutter. Most cabinets have three shelves; the bottom being the biggest. On the bottom shelf put your larger items like bandages, deodorant, or mouthwash, things you use often. On the second and third shelves put facial cremes, cleansers, lotions, or eye care products. Organize your medicine cabinet to your own liking, these are just some ideas. The main thing to remember is to have a system and follow it.
Cabinet Storage
Cabinets can become very cluttered with other things. Have storage bins and caddies for your hair supplies like hairsprays and gels. The back of your cabinet can hold your duplicate items and things that you may need but don't use on a daily basis. In the front of the cabinet put things like toothpastes and other dental hygiene that you will use at some point in time. In the cabinet having some empty space is good for when you buy new product. You can use this space of those things.
Cleaning Supplies
Have your cleaning supplies in a separate caddy. Have items that are used just for your bathroom. When they are in your bathroom, you are more likely to clean your bathroom on a regular basis. Having a separate caddy for your toilet paper and paper towels is great, too.
Once everything is organized and in it's place, finding things will be easy! It is normal for your bathroom to get messy, but now that you are organized, everything has a place and can be easily put away. Just remember, you are only organized if you keep yourself organized. This is something that you will always have to do and making it a habit of it will make the cleaning process feel less like a chore.
