Do you somehow always find yourself spending 30 minutes looking around your bathroom for hair, makeup, and personal hygiene products that you know should be there?
There is nothing worst than spending hours looking for something in the bathroom. Especially if you have a small bathroom because it gets hot so fast in there.
I have actually taken the time in the past to organize my bathroom – about a year ago. I used baskets to organize underneath the sink and on top of the toilet. But a year later my bathroom looks like a mess.
When it come to organizing your home you will often find that the system you originally implemented needs to be reworked. And that’s ok, you will only find this out if you get started with organizing your home.
Anyways back to organizing a small bathroom. We’re looking at moving which means we’ll probably have less space. Which inspired me to start searching small bathroom organization ideas.

Which means often times we have to put products on the bathroom floor too because we have so many. Don’t judge me.
Under the Sink Cabinet Small Bathroom Organization Ideas
Under the bathroom sink is by far the most used area in the bathroom. But usually the most unorganized and neglected area of the bathroom. I know a lot people treat underneath the bathroom sink as there secret shame area.

Over the Toilet Storage for Small Bathroom Organization Ideas
I know it’s tempting to overlook over the toilet storage as an option for organizing a small bathroom. But this is such a simple and chic way to make more use of your space.
Even if you live in an apartment over the toilet storage is something you can remove and take with you to your next place. It is also a great way to add character to your bathroom.
Over the toilet floating shelves
I know storage units can quickly become costly and can often date your bathroom based on the style you choose. But the addition of shelves to your bathroom will give you storage and style. Especially if you style your shelving area with baskets.
If you decide to purchase an over the toilet storage unit try to choose a style that is timeless. Think of a style that would still be beautiful in 10 years. Because you don’t want to be repainting or repurchasing over the toilet storage units. A simple style will likely work best.
Pedestal Sinks Storage for Small Bathroom Organization Ideas
I couldn’t help but take a moment to cover some options for those pesky pedestal sinks. Cute and simple as they maybe they are truly a nightmare. Where’s the counter space and under the sink storage?
In our master bathroom – in our house that we have since sold, thank God – we had pedestal sinks and it was a huge pain. I never had any space to do my makeup. Let alone enough space to store our electric toothbrush. Not to mention a space for me to store my countless hair products.
I quickly urged my husband that we needed to do something to address our lack of storage space. So we purchased 2 three cube storage units. Which definitely served there purpose but did not help with our lack of space.
This is an option but definitely not the best option. I would highly recommend taking the time to instead purchase or make storage units that fit around your pedestal sinks. This way you won’t narrow the limited space you have in an already small bathroom.
Odds and Ends for Small Bathroom Organization Ideas
And because every bathroom is different. I wanted to be sure to share some additional ideas that you could use just in case you are need it.
I have over sized wood doors so I can no longer use over the door storage units. But these are great for your bath towels and products.
Plastic bins for medicine cabinet storage
I have faux bathroom drawers. But if you have bathroom drawers using a kitchen utensil holder is a great way to organize your toiletries like toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and so on.
And because counter space is usually limited. The addition of a 3 tier caddy is a great options for making the most out of your counter top space. Also don’t forget about your medicine cabinet. Small plastic baskets can help with organizing q-tips, cotton balls, band aids, and even hair pins.
I hope this inspired you to organize that small bathroom that seems to always slow down your morning routine. An organized bathroom will help you and your family enjoy what it typically looked at as a nasty area. Who knows it may become your new favorite place to show off to guest.
Hopefully once you implement these small bathroom organization solutions you will free up more space and maybe you’ll be able to add some much needed products to your stash.
