Maximizing Small & Tricky Spaces: Under-the-Sink Organization Tips

Writer: REFIND OrganizingREFIND Organizing

As a Professional Organizer, I know that some of the most challenging spaces in a home to keep tidy are the small, awkward ones—like under the bathroom sink. With pipes, cleaning products, and a mix of beauty essentials, it’s easy for this space to become a cluttered mess. But with the right strategy, you can transform it into a functional, organized area that makes your daily routine smoother.


Step 1: Declutter & Take Inventory

Before organizing, remove everything from under the sink. Sort through your items and get rid of expired skincare products, nearly empty bottles, and anything you no longer use. This is the perfect time to take inventory of what you actually need and use regularly.


Step 2: Use Space-Saving Organizers

Maximize the available space by incorporating storage solutions like:

  • Stackable bins to separate categories like face care, body care, and hair products.

  • Turntables or lazy susans for easy access to frequently used products.

  • Pull-out drawers to create layers of storage and prevent items from getting lost at the back.

  • Over-the-door baskets or adhesive hooks to hold small tools like razors, hair ties, or washcloths.


Step 3: Categorize & Contain

Group similar items together to make retrieval effortless. Use clear containers or labeled bins for skincare, body care, and extra toiletries. This keeps everything visible and easy to grab when needed.


Step 4: Utilize Vertical Space

Make use of the height under the sink by using tiered shelves or stackable drawers. Avoid wasting vertical space by adjusting the layout to fit your specific needs.


Step 5: Maintain & Refresh

Organization is an ongoing process! Set a reminder to declutter and refresh this space every few months to keep it functional.
