Bathroom Heroes
Organizational product that keeps it together through steam, sweat and spills.
There’s no way around it: to keep your organizational system in place, the right product is essential.
When you’re considering what to buy for the master bathroom—and how much $$ to invest—consider the Graceful Spaces’ 80/20 philosophy. The system you create should be 80% permanent and 20% flexible in order to evolve as your needs do.
In addition to our signature bins and go-to baskets, see a few of our favorite selections that work overtime in your trickiest spaces.
Deep Shelves
If you have the opportunity for storing on shelves you’ll want to consider the depth of the shelf. Often items get lost in the back of a shelf and the right organizational product can help you avoid this.
Turntables, multipurpose bins and deep Linus bins maximize every square-inch of space. Shelves are also a great place for linens, which can be tucked into baskets that check the box on both form and function.
Categories that work best in deep shelves are:
Hair
Body creams and lotions
Sun/Tanning
Travel
First aid
Nails
Overstock
Essential oils
Monthly masks and serums
Towels & Linens
Divided Lazy Susan
Deep Linus Bins
Multipurpose Bins
Deep Drawers
Deep drawers are great as they allow you to keep your product standing up (enabling you to use every last drop!). They can however, cause confusion when it comes to keeping these spaces organized.
Avoid piling things up by keeping your categories contained with clear dividers. Look for “deep” drawer organizers, utilize expandable drawer organizers (don’t forget these come in “deep” options as well!), or even consider using pantry organizing bins if the drawer is deep enough!
Categories that work best in deep drawers are:
Lotions
Hair
Travel
Nails
Deep Expandable Divider
Pantry Bin
Deep Drawer Organizers
Under Sink Storage
It’s no secret that under the sink can quickly become a catchall for clutter! Take control by adding simple storage solutions that not only keep categories contained, but also allow you to see exactly what you have.
We recommend large divided turntables to keep your daily items close at hand. Shoe and sweater drawers can be a great solution when you need to maximize height while still working around those pipes.
Categories that work best under the sink are:
Overstock
Travel
Hair
Overflow makeup
Bath salts, scrubs and lotions
Items used weekly/monthly
Hand & face towels
Acrylic Shoe Organizer
Deep Linus Bin
Divided Lazy Susan
Shallow Drawers
The perfect place for makeup, daily used items, teeth, small hair items and so much more! Drawer organizers come in a variety of sizes. Most drawer widths are in 3” increments. If your inserts don’t fit perfectly, consider expandable drawer organizers to customize your space.
Categories that work best in shallow drawers are:
Daily
Teeth
Make up
Men’s Grooming
Shaving
GOLD (yes gold!) Drawer Organizer
Expandable Drawer Organizer

#ProTip:
We love the look of shelving stocked with uniform baskets, but bathroom products are usually small and can become cluttered when tossed together into a big bin (they’re also more likely to spill, which will ruin a hyacinth basket or fabric liner).
To keep your baskets organized and in good condition, consider placing product within product; this is arguably a bit of a splurge, but remember, your goal is to make the investment once so that your system lasts.
We often place divided turntables and makeup organizers inside bigger baskets to maximize their functionality.
this NOT that
We’ve been in so many master baths that we’ve seen it all. Without question, some products are just not worth the price tag—so skip them altogether and opt for these solutions instead.

OUTDOOR VINYL LABELS
Labels are the exclamation point on a perfect organizational system. They ensure everyone in the household is on the same page in terms of what goes where. When labeling product in the bathroom, opt for outdoor vinyl labels—the extra-durable adhesive will ensure things stay in place when the space gets steamy.
