In our master bathroom, there is a very small closet with bifold doors. For the longest time, I had it abandoned and cluttered. But I set myself a goal to get it organized, and in just under 45 minutes, it was done. It is not perfect and is not beautiful, but it’s functional. And thanks to the labels, I can find everything faster now.

In all honesty, organizing this bathroom closet was so easy that I almost didn’t write this post. But before and after projects are exciting and inspiring,  and I wanted to create the free printable labels so you can organize your bathroom’s closet, too!

Here are some tips and ideas on organizing a bathroom closet. At the end of the post, you can sign up to download the free printable labels for your bathroom containers!

Our Bathroom Closet Before

I have neglected my bathroom closet for a long time. In my defense, I only open it twice or three times a week when I need to get -or put away- clean towels and when I need my hairdryer or flat iron.

Yes, it was driving me crazy, but I always closed it quickly and moved on to something else. But finally, I decluttered and cleaned the closet, corraled things in baskets, and labeled them. Now, the bathroom closet is organized and functional.

My labels aren’t labels per se, but little chalkboard signs I found at Michael’s. I recreated a free set of bathroom labels in printable form for you. Look for them at the end of the post.

Baskets I Used to Organize the Closet

Storage baskets are my all-time favorite items for organizing. I probably have more baskets at home than items to store in them. Baskets are functional; they corral things, especially keeping small items from tipping over and/or falling through the cracks if you have wire shelving, as I do.

By the way, if you hate wire shelving, I have a tutorial on how to cover those ugly wire shelves!

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen this picture of the glorious morning when I walked into Michael’s and found all stock of baskets, buy one, get one free.

When buying baskets, consider the function you’re giving them, and always measure the space to ensure it’s a good fit. You probably won’t need to measure if you have a good idea of what you’re looking for and a good eye for dimensions. I knew I wanted deep baskets to fit as many towels as possible, but they also had to be narrow for them to fit in the tight closet space.

The Decluttering Process

My first rule for decluttering and organizing is to clear the space completely and begin with a fresh start. I find it impossible to work when there is a mess around me. In other cases, I have opted to work in sections, allowing 15 to 30 minutes of decluttering and organization.

I placed the entire closet’s content on top of a bed and sorted all items into four main groups:

  1. Keep
  2. Donate
  3. Toss
  4. Relocate

When organizing bigger spaces or entire rooms, I recommend you start on paper first, with my free printable home organization guide!

This is a very small closet, and it was an easy project to tackle, so I sorted all the items in minutes. However, if you have a big closet (or room) to tackle, you may want to use my free printable home organization guide.

Organizing a Very Small Closet

The more space you have, the more stuff you accumulate. So, I’ve decided to stop complaining about the lack of space and make a commitment to declutter more frequently.

This closet had too many things I didn’t need and other things that did not belong there.

  • Four bathrobes. I donated three and kept 1.
  • Old washcloths that have seen better days. Toss.
  • Five towels that we never used. Donated.
  • Three old makeup bags. Tossed, donated.
  • Decorative votives and candles. Relocated.
  • Beach towel. Relocated.
  • Makeup mirror with light. I never used it and never will. Donated.

Now, almost half of the closet contents are gone. I limited the closet to:

Towels (hand, bath, washcloths, guest towels)

My Caboodles On The Go is perfect for storing all my mani-pedi tools and a rather big collection of nail polishes.

Cleaning Products and Supplies

I also store some cleaning products upstairs for quick cleanup. Inside a shallow basket, on the top shelf of this closet, I keep disinfecting wipes, multi-surface cleaners, carpet cleaners, fabric deodorizers, and lint rollers.

I store toiletries in the cabinet under the sink.

Free Printable Bathroom Labels

I fell in love with these chalkboard clothespins from Michael’s.

So, labeling these baskets was a piece of cake. But, because I can not give each and every one of you a package of these, I figured I would make similar bathroom labels, a free printable for you to download.

Get access to this and our ever-growing library of printables. Sign up below!

After printing and cutting, punch a hole and hang them. You can also stick them to the baskets with double-sided tape or, if you’re feeling crafty, replicate them by printing them on heavy cardstock and gluing small clothespins to the back of the label.
