How do you organize under your bathroom sink? It seems like everything just gets thrown in there.

Since I stock up in advance on things, I had more than the under the bathroom sink vanity could hold. Therefore, I keep band-aids, first aid kit and a few other things under the sink the rest of it is on shelving with the overflow food products.

I have baskets for stuff. One side has a wicker basket for hair products, curling flat iron, etc. Qtips and cotton balls in another. makeup and face products.

This works for us. Anything that I stock up on goes in another cabinet.

I use baskets. One stacked on top of the other. Like the basket on the bottom has rolls of TP, the one on top of that Klennex, the one on top of that washclothes. Also I try really hard to keep items that don't belong under there out.

I wish I had a sink with a vanity

When we moved to this house I had NOWHERE to store anything - it was a 'pretty' bathroom if you will. I had to buy a 3 tier wire wall shelf and mount it on my wall. It nows houses and displays all my 'lotions & potions' and is a catchall for me

Slowly Im purging things from there but I really have no where to put anything. Im glad I dont wear make up b/c I'd have nowhere to put it while trying to apply it - everything rolls off the sink 'soap holders' on the side corners

My overflow/extra stockpile stuff goes into a cupboard into a Rubbermaid tote. Once thats full - I can not buy anything more and right now Im trying to empty it. Use what I have, save money

A few great gifts have come outta my overflow/stockpile box too!

The only thing I now store under my sinks are the cleaning supplies to the bathroom. I now give the sink and toilets a wipe down every 3 days. The other items are in baskets on a shelving unit that has been placed in the hall outside of the bathroom. Everything is contained, the towels have a "home" and there is enough room for most of the stock pile items.

I'm not an organized person by birth...its all overcompensation. It takes me a while to find how to organize an area, but once its done I can keep it straight and neat for quite some time.

I organize by making sure that I am not keeping things I do not use.

I buy square plastic buckets/baskets from the dollar store and use them to contain like items. Feminine supplies in one, cleaning supplies in one, bulk shampoo and other liquids in one, and one for random things I don't use daily- sunscreen for example.

We have no cabinets in our bathrooms. They have pedistal sinks and very large mirrors instead of a medicine cabinet. What we do have is a built in shelf behind the sink for things like toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, brushes etc..For towels we have a big basket they stay neatly folded in near the tub. We also have a smaller matching basket for a few extra rolls of toilet paper that stays to the side of the toilet. Everything else is kept in the laundry room on a set of floor to ceiling shelves with the rest of our stock piles.
