If your bathroom counters are overrun with toiletries, toothbrushes, and hair tools, here is how to organize your bathroom counters so they are not only practically organized, but beautifully organized. And, did you know, you can also organize your spaces according to your organizing style? You can find out what your organizing style is here.
Before organizing your your bathroom counters, you must purge the toiletries and tools that you do not like and no longer use. Be ruthless and purge the excess so you can more easily store what you do need and use.
In my freebie library here, I include guides which help walk you through the organizing process and help you decide what to purge and keep. I also include my declutter and organizing challenge calendars and guides to help direct you through each area of your home. These guides ensure you get through every nook and cranny and finally get to the other side of clutter … an organized and functional space!
In this post, we focus on how to organize bathroom counters. Below, I share ideas on how to organize your bathroom counters with different types of organizing solutions that will work for your organizing styles and spaces. I also share how to organize under the bathroom sink, vanity drawers, the medicine cabinet, shower and tub.

Practical & Beautiful Organizing Solutions
Sink Organization
I share how I organize and decorate my own bathroom here. To be honest, however, I find my toothbrush holder, though beuatiful, is rather difficult to clean. When the time comes to purchase I new one, I definitely will purchase a toothbrush holder that has proper drainage and is easy to clean like this (found here):
I love how the organizing solution above makes everything accessible from your toothbrushes to your razors to your toothpaste and even floss!
Speaking of making things easy to clean, utilizing a sink shelf like this raises everything off the counter so you don’t have to shuffle your soap pump and toothbrush holder, etc. to clean your countertop (found here):
To the shelf or directly on your countertop, you can utilize a soap dish (found here) not only for soap but for drying your makeup sponges or facial cleansing pads:
Toiletry Organization
Toiletries can look like a cluttered mess. Simply containing them can make all the difference in the appearance of your countertops. In addition to making your bathroom look more aesthetically-pleasing, containing your toiletries can remind you to not purchase more than what can fit within your countertop organizing solutions. Depending on how much you need to store for easy access, you can utilize organizing solutions from a simple bin or basket like this (found here) to contain wash cloths and containers for cotton balls and swabs:
or a tray to contain your skincare routine products or disposable hand towels for guests (found here):
to a tiered tray with a built-in turntable. Remember, you want to purge what you do not need and only store the items you do use. Utilizing countertop organizers, like this one below (found here), are great for storing the products you use on a daily basis (or if you simply do not have the space in your sink cabinet, drawers, or medicine cabinet):
Hair Tool Organization
Sometimes you just don’t have the space to store hair tools within a cabinet or drawer. So, why not make storing these items pretty? Using an organizer designed for hair tools, like this one below, will not only store your hair tools nicely on your countertop but make them easy to put away even while hot (found here):
Bonus: you can also store your hair products and hair brushes together in one area making your hair styling routine that much simpler.
