HOW TO ORGANIZE THE MEDICINE CABINET

It’s pretty amazing how this tiny sliver of a space can become so disorganized. Here is how to super efficiently organize your medicine cabinet, including your medicine cabinet door, so that everything is easy to find and is easily accessible. 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 medicine cabinet, you must purge the toiletries and medicine that are expired and 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 your medicine cabinet. Below, I share ideas on how to organize your toiletries and medicine with different types of organizing solutions that will work for your organizing styles and spaces. I also share how to organize under your bathroom sink, counters, the bathroom vanity drawers, and shower and tub.

Medicine Cabinet Organization

My favorite way to organize medicine cabinets is to simply use narrow drawer organizers. I share how I did that in a previous bathroom here and my current bathroom here. If your medicine cabinet has adjustable shelves, you can set them closely together and set a single drawer organizer on one shelf creating a drawer for your toothbrush and toothpaste. Drawer organizers help to contain everything from tall toiletries on a shelf to hair ties in a little square organizer (found here):

Divided organizers can contain hair ties, bobby pins, and hair clips or cotton swabs, cotton balls, and cotton pads (found here):

You can contain oral care supplies like floss, floss pics, and specialized oral care brushes in a micro-divided organizer. All your nail tools can be contained in an organizer like this and you can bring them altogther at once to wherever you need to use them (found here):

Some organizers are designed to fit within standard sized medicine cabinets and can contain everything from makeup to first aid supplies (found here):

to medicines and razors (found here):

to your eyeglasses and eye care supplies (found here):

And, organizers with handles make any supplies, like first aid supplies, a little more portable (found here):

The dividers in the organizer above can also divide different types of medicines or supplements for different ailments.

As for the medicine cabinet door, if your medicine cabinet is metal, you can magnetize anything to it by simply adding a mini magnet to it. For example, you can add magnets to all your nail tools and stick them to the inside of your medicine cabinet door. If your medicine cabinet is not metal, you can add magentic strips to your medicine cabinet door and anything that is metal will already stick to the strip (found here):

There are also organizers available that are already created for your medicine cabinet door (found here):
