I consider organizing a hobby and I’ve never met a basket I didn’t like.
That said, the cabinet under the bathroom sink is a different beast. Between awkward plumbing, toiletries, and everyday essentials, it’s one of the easiest places for clutter to pile up.
So, I called in expert help. Professional organizer Laura Kinsella of Urban OrgaNYze helps us rethink the space with a simple goal: make everything easy to see, reach, and maintain. More important takeaways? Don’t skip the editing process and always measure first.
With her guidance, I found eight smart solutions from stackable drawers to sliding bins that can completely change how your bathroom cabinet functions, and they start at $10.

NEED TO KNOW
How to Organize Under the Bathroom Sink, According to a Pro
- Empty out the cabinet, wipe it down, and toss expired or unused products
- Group similar items together by how you actually use them (daily, backup, occasional)
- Measure around pipes and note height/depth before buying organizers
- Put items back by priority, with everyday essentials front and center
Vtopmart Stackable Storage Drawers, 4-Pack
This is the exact set of stackable drawers I use for my own bathroom cabinet. The drawers slide out smoothly, so I’m not digging around for anything, and I can group like items (skincare, hair products, backups) in a way that makes the most sense for my daily routine. And, since they’re clear, it’s easy to see everything I have at a glance.
"“Stackable drawers are one of the most effective solutions because they use height while keeping smaller items contained and accessible.” -Laura Kinsella"
Eodelly 2-Tier Turntable Lazy Susan Organizer, 2-Pack, $18 with Prime
If you’ve ever lost products in the back of your cabinet, a lazy Susan is a simple upgrade that instantly earns its space. I mostly use one for body sprays and perfumes, but it works just as well for other items — just spin and grab. It’s also ideal for narrow, hard-to-reach spaces.
"“Lazy Susans are great for frequently used items like hair care or lotions. A two-tier version maximizes vertical space while keeping everything visible and easy to reach.” -Laura Kinsella"

For taller products, like full-size shampoo bottles or styling tools, Kinsella suggests a tiered sliding organizer with an open top to accommodate height. She says it also ensures that you can “easily access items in the back without moving everything in front.” (No more knocking over bottles just to grab the blow dryer!).
