If you are tired of having shampoo and conditioner bottles sitting on the floor of your shower or having products take every inch of space at the corner of your bathtub it’s time to do something about it.

Keep reading for tips on aesthetic ways to organize your toiletries. I am sure you will like some of these tips and get more ideas to implement in your space.
1. Declutter and downsize
The first tip on aesthetic ways to organize your toiletries is to declutter and downsize.
Yes, decluttering is always my first step in organizing. It is the foundation, where you get rid of junk and clean up spaces. Afterward, you can allocate spaces for the products you actually use.
Go through all your products and get rid of the ones you are sure you won’t be using. If they are barely used, you can give them to a friend or family member that wants them.
Use this time to get rid of expired skincare and makeup products, empty product bottles, etc.
2. Use smaller refill containers
For products like cotton pads, Q-tips, etc that you place on the countertop, placing the entire pack of them might take too much space on your counter.
Consider using little glass containers or Maison jars. Fill them up and place them on your countertop this way you can stark them. Place the rest of the product in a drawer or basket.
This tip not only helps maximize counter space but also improves the aesthetic.
3. Prioritize the space in your medicine cabinet
For a lot of people, the medicine cabinet is home to more than just medications and first aid, it also serves as storage for their toiletries.
To make good use of your medicine cabinet only place products that you use regularly in them for easier and faster access.
You can then place the products you use less often in drawers.
4. Install a caddy in your shower
To keep shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc bottles from the floor of your shower, install a caddy on the wall.
This way you would have easier access to them when you shower, and your bathroom will look neater and tidier.
5. Floating shelves
The fifth tip on aesthetic ways to organize your toiletries is to install floating shelves.
Installing floating shelves in your bathroom is a great way to create extra storage space.
You can install one or two shelves on the wall behind the toilet and use them as storage for toilet paper and cleaning supplies.
You can also install them on whichever wall in your bathroom you choose and store as many products as you want.
Shelves are also a great way to add a little décor to your bathroom. Placing a few succulent plants on them will create a more beautiful bathroom space.
6. Baskets
Baskets are great for keeping items and products organized with minimal effort. They make excellent storage in combination with shelves.
They are great for storing the bulk of your toiletries in one place like new products you haven’t used yet.
Just make sure to store similar products and items together so you know exactly where to look when you need something.
7. Travel-size products
Purchase travel sizes of products for when you are traveling. There’s no point carrying large sizes of products you would only use a little out of. This would only add unnecessary weight to your luggage and the additional stress of putting them back in their place when you get back.
Opt for travel sizes and use that space for more important things.
Another hack is to get empty travel-sized bottles from amazon or the dollar store and fill them up when you are traveling. This way you don’t need to buy travel sizes of products as some of these travel-size products don’t cost much less than the regular sizes.
8. Drawer organizers
Drawer organizers allow you to make the most out of the limited space in your bathroom drawers by keeping your items neatly arranged and easily accessible.
They Improve organization by keeping your items arranged and in their proper place, reducing the likelihood of losing or misplacing them.
With your items neatly arranged, you’ll be able to find what you need more quickly and easily, saving you time and hassle.
9. Use dispensers
Consider using some dispensers for your liquid soaps, shampoo, and conditioners.
With dispensers, you can buy larger refills of products that usually are much cheaper and save some money on products.
Dispensers look more aesthetically pleasing as you can get a set of them that match and use them for different products.
When you buy large products, using dispensers will allow you to take smaller amounts from time to time so you can store the rest. This way the rest of the products are not being constantly exposed which could oxidize some products and reduce their efficiency.
10. Vanity tray
The tenth organization item on aesthetic ways to organize your toiletries is to use vanity trays.
Vanity trays are a versatile and stylish way to store your toiletries and make the most out of your counter space.
These trays come in a variety of materials, such as glass, plastic, or metal, and can be used to hold a wide range of items, such as perfumes, jewelry, makeup, and more.
Using a vanity tray can help keep your items organized, and within reach, and add a touch of elegance to your room decor.
There are several types of vanity trays to choose from, depending on what you need them for. For example, a large, rectangular tray with raised sides is perfect for holding items like perfume bottles, while a small, round tray is perfect for holding items like jewelry.
11. Rolling cart
A rolling cart is a highly functional item that can help you organize your toiletries and other items in your bathroom.
The main benefit of a rolling cart is that it allows you to move your items easily from one place to another.
This is particularly useful in a small bathroom where space is limited, as you can roll the cart out of the way when not in use.
12. Drawer liners
If you aren’t currently using drawer liners at the moment, you need to try them ASAP.
Drawer liners are a great addition to any bathroom or vanity drawer. They can protect your items, and keep your drawers clean.
There are several types of drawer liners available, including cork, silicone, and foam. Cork liners are great for absorbing moisture, making them ideal for use in your bathroom.
Silicone liners are non-slip, which makes them ideal for items that might slide around in your drawer. Foam liners are great for protecting delicate items, such as makeup or glass bottles.
13. Countertop organizer
Increase the storage space on your bathroom counter by using countertop organizers.
These countertop organizers can include trays, canisters, and baskets. There are other organizers that have several levels stacked up on themselves. This would maximize your storage space while giving it a minimalistic appearance.
14. Toiletry bag
A toiletry bag is a highly functional and convenient item that can help you keep your toiletries organized while you’re on the go.
Toiletry bags are designed to be portable, so you can take them with you wherever you go, whether you’re traveling, going to the gym, or simply heading to work.
Toiletry bags come in different sizes and compartments, making it easy for you to store and place all of your essential items in one place.
