Bathrooms can go from calm oasis to chaotic clutter zone in a flash 😅—overflowing drawers, scattered products, and tiny countertops that somehow feel full even when they look empty. If you’re dreaming of a bathroom that’s both functional and relaxing, you’re in the right place! Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to declutter, organize, and add smart hacks so your bathroom feels like a spa every day. 🕊️

1️⃣ Create Bathroom Zones 🗂️

The secret to a minimalist, stress-free bathroom is zoning. Think of your bathroom as five main areas—each with a purpose:


Everyday Use Zone 🪥:

  • Items you grab daily (toothpaste, deodorant, skincare).

  • Keep them in a small tray or drawer organizer on your countertop or top drawer for easy access.


Specialty Use Zone 💆‍♀️:

  • Less-used items like face masks, hair treatments, or spa products.

  • Store in labeled bins under the sink to free up counter space.


Backstock Zone 🛍️:

  • Extra shampoo, conditioner, soap—store in a cabinet or linen closet.

  • Use bins labeled Hair, Body, or First Aid for easy organization.


Linens Zone 🧺:

  • Clean towels and washcloths go here!

  • A towel rack, basket, or cabinet works if you don’t have a linen closet.


Cleaning Zone 🧼:

  • Keep all bathroom cleaning products in one place—like a small caddy or bin under the sink.

  • Products you can use: multi-surface cleaner, disinfecting wipes, and scrub brushes for tubs and sinks.

2️⃣ Maximize Small Spaces 📏✨

Bathrooms are usually compact, so every inch counts. Here’s how to make it work:


  • Stackable drawers under the sink double your storage without taking extra floor space.

  • Add adhesive hooks or towel bars inside cabinet doors for hair tools or washcloths.

  • Use a stick-on bin or small shelf inside cabinet doors for tiny bottles and products.

  • Over-the-door organizers for toiletries or extra towels are lifesavers.

  • Drawer dividers keep everything neat and prevent sliding chaos.


💡 Tip: Think vertically—your walls are free storage real estate!


3️⃣ The 3-Month Rule for Decluttering 🗑️

Decluttering doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Jacqueline’s rule is simple:


  • If you haven’t used it in the last 3 months, you probably don’t need it. ❌

  • Toss expired, dried-out, or broken products.

  • Donate unopened items—someone else will love them. 💕

  • Follow the one in, one out rule: if you buy a new moisturizer, toss the old one.


4️⃣ Label Everything 🏷️

Labels are a game-changer for long-term organization:


  • Use clear bins and labels like Hair Tools, Makeup, or Medicine.

  • Not only does it keep things in their place, but everyone in your home can find what they need—no chaos! 🙌


💡Products you can use: label maker, sticky labels, clear acrylic bins.


5️⃣ Make It Pretty AND Practical 💖

Function doesn’t have to be boring—your bathroom can look chic too:


  • Use a small tray or basket on your countertop for daily essentials.

  • Roll towels and store in a basket or on a shelf for a spa-like vibe. 🛀

  • Match containers for cotton swabs, cotton balls, or bath salts to keep things neat and cute.

  • Add small decor touches like a succulent, scented candle, or decorative soap dispenser. 🌿🕯️
