25 Smart Bathroom Accessories Organization Ideas

Having beautiful bathroom accessories is a wonderful way to decorate your home, but if those accessories are not organized properly, the room will quickly become a total disaster. Bathroom accessories include all the small, necessary items you use every single day, like heavy bath towels, spare rolls of toilet paper, small bottles of perfume, and tall bottles of shampoo. Because most bathrooms are incredibly small, leaving these tiny items scattered all over the floor or jammed blindly into a messy drawer makes the entire space feel highly stressful. To make your bathroom feel like a perfectly calm hotel spa, you must give every single accessory a perfectly planned home.

Figuring out exactly how to store all of these completely different items can feel like a very confusing job. You need your heavy towels to stay perfectly dry, your spare soap to be easy to find, and your beautiful glass perfume bottles to be completely safe from breaking. To help you solve this daily puzzle, we have created a simple and detailed list of twenty-five smart bathroom accessories organization ideas. We will explain exactly how to fold your towels, what kind of storage baskets to use for your spare paper, and the smartest ways to keep everything clean.

1. Roll Clean Towels in a Wicker Basket

Heavy, clean bath towels take up a massive amount of flat space if you fold them into giant squares and stack them on a small shelf. A much smarter way to organize them is to roll them tightly into small cylinders and stand them straight up inside a deep woven wicker basket. This trick instantly makes the towels look exactly like a highly expensive luxury spa display.

To roll a towel perfectly, fold it completely in half the long way. Start at one very short end and roll the thick fabric tightly all the way to the opposite end. When placing the rolled towels into the heavy wicker basket, stand them straight up on their ends, side by side.

A heavy wicker basket sitting directly on a bathroom floor will easily absorb puddles of water left behind after a hot shower. If the dry wood gets soaked, it will slowly turn black and grow terrible mold on the bottom. You must always place the heavy wicker basket far away from the shower door.

2. Store Extra Toilet Paper in a Wire Basket

Leaving extra rolls of spare toilet paper hidden inside their plastic store bags completely ruins the look of a nice bathroom. Instead of leaving the messy plastic bag on the floor, remove the clean white paper rolls entirely and place them directly into a large, open metal wire basket. The thin metal wires allow you to see how many rolls are left.

When you place the paper rolls into the wire basket, organize them very neatly to make the display look highly intentional. Stand every single white roll perfectly straight up, packing them closely together so they do not fall over. You can place this heavy wire basket directly on the top cover of the toilet tank.

A metal wire basket sitting in a humid bathroom is in danger of turning bright orange with permanent rust. If the thin metal gets rusty, it will leave terrible orange stains directly onto the clean white toilet paper rolls, totally ruining them. Check the metal basket every month and keep it totally dry.

3. Hang Robes on Heavy Metal Hooks

Thick winter bathrobes take up entirely too much space to fold and put inside a small drawer. The absolute best way to organize them is to hang them flat against the back of the bathroom door using heavy, solid metal hooks. Hanging a massive robe directly on the door removes the huge pile of fabric from your small floor space.

When you install metal hooks for a heavy robe, you must choose very large, thick hooks. If you use a tiny, sharp metal hook, the heavy weight of the thick wet fabric will pull straight down and the sharp metal will tear a massive hole straight through the soft robe. You must also screw the hook deeply into solid wood.

Because the heavy robe hangs directly against the painted wooden door, the wet fabric can cause a massive problem over time. The wet moisture from the damp robe can slowly cause the expensive white paint on the door to peel and flake straight off. You must always make sure your robe is mostly dry before hanging it up.

4. Keep Q-Tips in Small Glass Apothecary Jars

Tiny accessories like cotton swabs look messy if you leave them sitting randomly on the bathroom counter in a cardboard box. To make them look beautiful and highly organized, place the small cotton items directly into a clear glass apothecary jar. These traditional glass jars have an elegant, classic shape and a heavy glass lid.

To make the small jar look incredibly neat, you must not dump a massive handful of cotton swabs directly inside. That will look messy and chaotic. You must take your time and stand the small white cotton swabs perfectly straight up in neat, tight rows inside the clear jar.

Clear glass sitting on a bathroom counter will quickly collect a very thick layer of sticky hairspray and floating dust on the outside surface. If you splash soapy water on the clear jar, it will dry into an ugly white spot that ruins the clean look. Empty the heavy glass jar and wash it with hot soapy water every month.

5. Put Hair Ties on a Shower Ring

Loose hair ties left randomly on the counter look completely messy and always get lost behind the heavy sink. A clever trick is to gather all the hair ties together and clip them directly onto one single metal shower curtain ring. This simple metal circle locks all the messy strings together into one highly neat bunch.

You can easily hide this small metal ring out of sight by placing the completely full ring directly into a very small, pretty ceramic bowl perfectly on the counter. Whenever you need a tight hair tie, grab the entire heavy metal ring out of the small bowl, slide exactly one tie off, and toss the metal ring back.

Because hair ties sit completely tight against your sweaty head during the day, they collect massive amounts of invisible hair oils and sticky hairspray. Over a long time, the thick bunch of hair ties will become completely dirty and gross. Throw the dirty hair ties into the trash and buy brand new ones every few months.

6. Use a Lazy Susan for Skincare Bottles

If you have a large collection of tall skincare and lotion bottles, lining them all up in a huge row takes up the entire back of the counter. Instead, place all the heavy bottles onto a small, round spinning tray, called a lazy Susan. The round shape keeps all the glass bottles grouped perfectly in one tight circle.

When you place heavy glass bottles on a spinning tray, you must buy a tray that has a raised lip around the outside edge. If the tray is completely flat, the tall bottles will fly straight off the edge and crash directly onto the hard bathroom floor when you spin the tray too fast. Place the tallest items exactly in the center.

Skincare bottles are completely famous for getting sticky right around the main pump nozzle. When you place ten sticky bottles together on a tray, the whole counter looks totally dirty. Take every single bottle off the spinning tray, wipe the tray completely clean, and wipe the plastic of every single bottle with a dry cloth every month.

7. Store Bobby Pins in a Magnetic Dish

Tiny black bobby pins are the worst items for making a bathroom counter totally messy. They easily slide off the counter and get completely lost deep inside the drain. The smartest possible way to fix this is to use a very small, highly magnetic metal dish. When you drop a metal bobby pin near the dish, the strong magnet pulls it straight down.

You can buy a very small magnetic dish designed for holding metal paper clips at any office supply store. Place the tiny dish directly in the front corner of your wooden tray or next to your hairbrush. The flat metal bowl looks very sleek and takes up incredibly little space while completely locking the pins safely in place.

Because the small dish is completely filled with dozens of tiny metal pins, it is very hard to wipe it totally clean with a normal rag. Dust and stray hairs will easily get trapped tightly underneath the strongly held metal pins. You must pull all the pins completely off the strong magnet every single month to wash the dish.

8. Hang a Shower Caddy from the Showerhead

Leaving tall bottles of shampoo and heavy bars of slippery soap sitting directly on the wet floor of the shower is dangerous and messy. The smartest way to organize these massive accessories is to hang a heavy metal wire shower caddy directly over the metal pipe of the showerhead. This lifts all the heavy bottles off the wet floor.

When you buy a hanging shower caddy, you must absolutely make sure it has a rubber grip at the very top. If it is just plain metal resting on the smooth metal pipe, the heavy caddy will easily slide completely down the pipe and crash into the bathtub. Place the heavy bottles totally evenly on both sides.

A metal shower caddy is constantly hit with completely hot water and thick, soapy foam every single day. The metal wires will quickly become totally covered in a thick, hard layer of white soap scum. Take the heavy caddy completely out of the shower every single month and scrub the metal wires totally clean using a tough brush.

9. Put Extra Soap in a Glass Jar

If you buy highly expensive, beautifully smelling bars of handmade soap, leaving them hidden inside a dark cardboard box in a closet is a total waste. Organize and display these beautiful accessories by stacking the clean bars completely inside a very large, clear glass jar with a heavy lid to create a colorful decoration.

To make the clear jar look completely beautiful, you must stack the square soap bars very neatly. Do not just drop them randomly into the glass. Stack them perfectly straight up, creating a highly neat tower of clean soap. Place the heavy glass jar directly onto an open wooden shelf or perfectly in the corner of the bathroom counter.

Because the glass jar holds dry, unused soap, you must make absolutely sure the heavy glass lid fits perfectly tight. If the bathroom gets totally filled with hot, wet steam during a long shower, the moisture will easily sneak inside a loose lid. The wet steam will slowly melt the beautiful soap bars completely into a sticky mess.

10. Store Perfume on a Mirrored Tray

For a totally glamorous, incredibly fancy bathroom counter, place your shiny perfume bottles completely onto a totally flat tray made entirely of mirrored glass. The shiny mirror tray acts exactly like a giant reflector. It totally catches the bright bathroom lights and perfectly bounces the bright light straight back up, making your bottles look glowing.

When using a delicate mirror tray, you must carefully curate exactly what sits on it. Only place your most beautiful, highly decorative items completely on the shiny glass. If you throw cheap, totally ugly plastic deodorant totally onto a beautiful mirror tray, it completely ruins the fancy illusion.

A totally flat mirror lying flat on the counter is the absolute hardest item to keep totally clean in the entire bathroom. Every single tiny speck of gray dust, every single falling hair, and every single wet water drop will show up totally perfectly on the highly shiny glass surface. Spray the flat tray with clear glass cleaner every day.

11. Organize Makeup in an Acrylic Box

If you have a massive makeup collection with dozens of small items, buy a clear, heavy acrylic makeup organizer that features dozens of small, separate compartments. The tiny plastic walls hold every single item perfectly straight up, separating them so they never knock each other over and create a mess.

When you place your items into the clear plastic organizer, organize them exactly by height to make the counter look perfectly neat. Put the very tallest bottles in the very back row, and place the tiny jars perfectly in the front row. This allows you to easily see the bright labels on every single bottle.

Acrylic organizers with dozens of tiny plastic compartments are incredibly hard to clean. If a bottle of sticky face serum leaks directly into one of the tiny deep square holes, it is very hard to get your fingers all the way down there to wipe it out. You will completely need a small cotton swab to clean the tiny corners perfectly.

12. Use a Small Trash Can with a Lid

A tiny bathroom trash can is a completely necessary accessory, but an open trash can filled with dirty tissues and messy cotton balls looks highly gross and ruins the clean room. The absolute best organizational choice is to buy a small trash can that features a solid, heavy step-lid. This completely hides the ugly garbage out of sight.

Place this small covered trash can out of the main walking path, perfectly tucked between the toilet and the vanity cabinet. Choose a beautiful metal can, like brushed nickel or totally matte black, so that even though it holds garbage, the outside of the can looks exactly like a highly stylish bathroom accessory.

Because a covered trash can traps the wet moisture from dirty bathroom items completely inside, it can grow terrible smells very quickly. Empty the small plastic bag entirely every single week. You must also spray the empty metal can with a strong disinfectant spray and wipe the inside totally dry every single month.

13. Hang a Wooden Shelf Above the Toilet

The totally blank wall space directly above the toilet tank is almost always completely wasted. Instantly create massive amounts of new storage space for accessories by mounting two or three flat, thick wooden floating shelves directly onto the wall totally above the toilet. This uses the empty vertical space perfectly without taking up floor space.

When mounting shelves directly above a toilet, you must be incredibly careful about the exact placement. If you mount the heavy wooden shelf completely too low, you will smack the back of your head directly into the hard wood every single time you stand completely up. The bottom shelf must be mounted high enough to perfectly clear your head.

Shelves mounted directly above the toilet are in massive danger of items falling totally into the open toilet bowl. If you place a heavy glass bottle perfectly on the edge of the shelf and bump it completely accidentally, it will crash straight into the water. Only store completely soft items like clean towels or tightly sealed boxes on these shelves.

14. Store Bath Bombs in a Wire Basket

Highly colorful, round bath bombs look exactly like giant pieces of beautiful candy. Leaving them hidden inside brown cardboard boxes completely hides their beautiful colors. Organize them perfectly by placing all the colorful round bath bombs directly into a totally open, deep metal wire basket placed perfectly near the bathtub.

To make the basket look highly styled, mix the completely different colors together. Place the bright pink bombs perfectly next to the bright blue bombs. The open wire sides of the heavy metal basket allow the wonderful, sweet smells of the bath bombs to completely fill the entire bathroom air perfectly.

Because bath bombs are made of completely dry powder, they will slowly crumble and drop fine colored dust straight down directly through the open metal wire basket. This colorful dust will easily leave a totally messy ring perfectly on the flat counter or shelf directly underneath the heavy basket. Wipe the flat shelf clean every single week.

15. Keep Spare Washcloths in a Wooden Box

Small, flat square washcloths are incredibly hard to organize neatly because they totally unfold and fall completely over very easily. The smartest way to keep them perfectly organized is to fold them tightly into tiny squares and stack them perfectly inside a totally beautiful, small wooden box. The totally solid walls keep the stack perfectly straight.

Fold the small cloths so the totally neat, smooth folded edge faces exactly straight up. When you look completely down exactly into the perfectly neat wooden box, you will only see perfect, highly neat lines of completely soft folded fabric. Place the small wooden box directly onto a completely open lower shelf.

A completely solid wooden box placed totally in a wet bathroom can completely easily get totally damaged by wet water splashing from the sink. Completely perfectly seal the heavy raw wood with a highly thick, totally clear waterproof protective wax. If the heavy wood gets completely wet, dry it instantly to completely stop the wood from rotting.

16. Use a Multi-Tiered Hanging Fruit Basket

If your bathroom has absolutely zero flat counter space and completely zero shelf space, use a highly creative solution: hang a three-tier metal wire fruit basket directly from the high ceiling. This instantly creates three new layers of totally highly useful storage perfectly suspended exactly in the empty air.

You can perfectly organize totally light, entirely soft accessories directly in these hanging metal wire baskets. Place your light bath sponges perfectly in the top basket, and place exactly neatly rolled hand towels totally perfectly in the largest bottom basket. The totally open wire lets everything easily air dry.

Hanging a heavy metal tiered basket directly from the ceiling is completely dangerous if done incorrectly. You must completely find a totally solid heavy wooden ceiling beam. If you screw the heavy metal hook completely directly into soft thin drywall, the entire massive thing will completely crash down.

17. Organize Nail Clippers in a Small Drawer Organizer

Tiny highly sharp metal accessories exactly like small silver nail clippers and sharp small metal tweezers are incredibly easily lost inside a massive empty dark bathroom drawer. You must absolutely fix this totally messy problem by sliding a totally flat clear plastic drawer organizer directly into the drawer.

A flat plastic drawer organizer features multiple incredibly tiny shallow completely separated sections. Place the perfectly small exactly totally sharp metal nail clippers totally completely perfectly into one single exact completely perfectly tiny perfectly separated square.

Because the clear flat plastic organizer sits completely entirely deep totally inside the dark drawer, it will totally easily collect tiny completely cut pieces of exactly totally perfectly completely nails. You must wash it out monthly.

18. Keep Cotton Pads in a Tall Cylinder

Flat round cotton pads take up massive space if totally left perfectly exactly in their ugly plastic bags. Place them perfectly straight inside a totally clear perfectly tall plastic cylinder.

The clear plastic tall cylinder perfectly allows you to see exactly how many cotton pads perfectly you have left.

A clear plastic cylinder will catch dust quickly over time in an open space. Wash it perfectly weekly with a damp cloth.

19. Group Hair Products on a Marble Slab

Massive tall bottles of sticky hairspray exactly perfectly completely entirely perfectly and sticky completely hair gel perfectly look messy. Group perfectly them perfectly entirely onto a entirely perfectly exactly totally massive totally completely heavy flat totally completely exactly white marble slab.

The heavy white marble stone acts exactly like perfectly completely totally completely totally a totally completely exactly perfectly beautiful exactly perfectly shield.

Because marble is a totally natural stone, it stains easily. Wipe spills perfectly completely exactly totally perfectly immediately.

20. Put Essential Oils in a Wooden Box
