And if you're looking for a timeless and functional upgrade, SpryInterior's Bathroom Vanity collections are designed to bring both form and function into your bathroom.

Small Drawer Dividers That Change Everything

Use clear acrylic organizers to sort everyday items

One of the easiest and most effective ways to tackle clutter inside your bathroom vanity is by using clear acrylic organizers. These dividers allow you to see everything at a glance, making it easier to grab what you need quickly and put it back in the right place. No more fishing for your lip balm or eyeliner under a pile of random items.

Keep hair ties, tweezers, and brushes in designated compartments

Instead of letting small items roam free, assign each one a home. Use smaller compartments for items like tweezers, nail clippers, and bobby pins. Larger ones can be designated for hairbrushes or deodorants. Keeping items separated reduces mess and adds a level of visual satisfaction every time you open the drawer.

Prevent clutter from building up in deep vanity drawers

Deep drawers often turn into black holes where old lotion bottles and expired products go to die. To avoid this, place stackable dividers or small containers inside the drawers to add layers. This not only increases capacity but also makes it easier to rotate products in and out without disrupting your whole setup.

Over-the-Door Cabinet Storage Hacks

Install slim shelves for hair tools and sprays

Slim shelving mounted on the inside of your bathroom vanity cabinet doors is perfect for storing flat irons, curling wands, and sprays. This method keeps cords untangled and tools accessible without taking up valuable countertop or drawer space.

Use hanging racks to store toiletries and towels

Hanging racks or baskets can be attached to the door’s interior to hold backup toiletries like toothpaste, mouthwash, or facial cleansers. You can even roll up hand towels or washcloths and store them neatly inside, freeing up more shelf space for larger items.

Maximize vertical space behind vanity doors

Vertical space is often underutilized in most bathroom setups. Think vertically by attaching layered storage racks to the inside of the doors. These can hold an entire skincare routine from toner to moisturizer in a way that’s clean, accessible, and easy to maintain.

Maximizing Under-Sink Space Efficiently

Add tiered shelving units for stacked storage

The area under the sink is notoriously tricky, especially with plumbing pipes cutting into usable space. A two-tiered shelf system allows you to take advantage of the height, storing items like cleaning supplies on the bottom and everyday essentials like wipes or extra toilet paper up top.

Use bins to group similar products together

Clear plastic bins or labeled baskets help organize everything from shaving supplies to extra shampoo bottles. Grouping similar items makes it easier to know what you have on hand and prevents overbuying.

Install pull-out trays for easy access

Sliding trays or drawers under the sink allow you to reach even the items at the back without knocking everything over. These trays are a game-changer for storing items like spare razors, bath bombs, or travel-size toiletries.

Creative Use of Wall-Mounted Accessories

Hang floating shelves above the vanity

Wall-mounted floating shelves are perfect for holding decorative jars, extra towels, or even a small potted plant. They add character to your bathroom vanity area while doubling as functional storage.

Use magnetic strips for small metal tools

Installing a magnetic strip on the wall can help store metal tools like tweezers, nail scissors, or clippers. This hack clears drawer space and keeps your essentials within reach.

Add hooks or rails for hanging frequently used items

Small hooks or rails can be mounted beside or underneath floating shelves to hang hair ties, loofahs, or necklaces. It’s a minimalist and stylish solution that keeps clutter at bay.

Transforming the Back of Cabinet Doors

Stick on small baskets for cotton pads and swabs

Adhesive baskets can be easily mounted to the back of your bathroom vanity doors, giving you a spot for cotton pads, Q-tips, or facial sponges. These small add-ons can dramatically declutter the top of your vanity.

Hang hairdryers or curling irons securely

With a metal or heat-resistant silicone holster attached to the door, you can safely store your hot tools without worrying about damaging surfaces. This keeps the cords off the counter and makes cleanup faster after styling.

Add removable labels for easy sorting

Whether you’re organizing skincare, first-aid supplies, or makeup, labeling each section or bin helps maintain the system long-term. Use waterproof or chalkboard-style labels to keep things neat and adaptable to changes.
