In this third part of our building your bathroom beauty bar series, I'll provide practical tips and suggest organizational products that will help you achieve a beautifully organized space under your bathroom sink.

Throw the Old Stuff Away!
Before diving into organization, take a moment to assess your hair tools, make up and beauty essentials. Determine which items you truly need and use regularly. Discard or donate anything that is likely way past it's prime, no longer serves a purpose or brings you joy. Streamlining your collection will make the organizing process much easier. To learn more about what you should keep and what should definitely go when it comes to make up and other beauty products, read part 2 of this series, Ew! Throw That Away.
Categorize for Clarity
To create a structured system, categorize your hair appliances and beauty essentials. Group similar items together to ensure easy access and visual clarity. Separate your hair dryers, curling irons, and straighteners, and then organize your brushes, combs, and styling products into distinct categories.
Choose Functional Bathroom Storage Solutions
Selecting the right storage products is key to maintaining an organized under-sink area. Consider the following options:
Door Mounted Storage: Install door mounted bins on your bathroom cabinet doors to securely hold metal hair tools and other items. Using hair tool holders designed for this purpose is a great method keeps them easily accessible while avoiding tangles.
Drawer Unit: Under sink storage is often under utilized. Use a tiered shelf or drawer unit to take advantage of vertical storage under your sink. It's also a great way to corral smaller items.
Hair Tool Holders: Utilize holders designed for hair appliances to create custom fit compartments for your hair tool essentials. These containers allow for neat organization and prevent items from getting jumbled together.
Storage Baskets: Opt for versatile storage baskets to house items that don't fit in drawers or need quick access. I prefer items easy to clean over woven or fabric bins. Find what complements your bathroom's aesthetics while providing functionality.
Manage Cord Clutter
To tackle the challenge of tangled cords, implement effective cord management techniques. Try these tips:
Cable Clips: Utilize cable clips to neatly coil and secure your hair appliance cords. This simple solution prevents tangles and keeps your under-sink area tidy.
Velcro Strips: These are inexpensive, a breeze to use and come in a variety of colours. I've used this method very effectively in my home office. Read more about how I managed my office cord disaster.
