It made me realize: no matter how small your bathroom, clutter happens fast. But here’s the good news – small spaces can spark big creativity. Today, I’m sharing 10 bathroom sink top organization ideas I’ve picked up from real projects and a few design mishaps of my own.1. Use tiered trays for vertical storageI once rescued a tiny sink area with a simple two-tier tray. It instantly doubled the surface without adding bulk. You can play with finishes – wood trays feel cozy, chrome ones feel sleek.save pin2. Magnetic strips behind the mirrorPerfect for tweezers, small scissors, or nail clippers. It keeps them out of sight but within reach. This trick saved one client’s morning routine from chaos, and it’s invisible to guests.save pin3. Decorative lidded jarsGlass or ceramic jars hide cotton pads or Q-tips beautifully. If you love a clean, Instagram-friendly look, this is an easy win. I once matched the jar color to the soap pump – instant harmony.save pin4. Built-in sink shelfIf you’re remodeling, adding a shallow shelf above the sink works wonders. In one project, I used a slim stone ledge and planned the layout with an online room planner to get proportions just right.save pin5. Tray zoningDivide your counter into functional zones using trays – skincare on one, dental care on another. It instantly feels less messy, even if you have the same number of products.save pin6. Wall-mounted soap dispenserThis frees up counter space and reduces drips. Pairing it with a matching hand cream pump keeps the counter coordinated. Just remember – drilling into tile needs the right tools.save pin7. Hidden power strip in a drawerFor hair tools or electric toothbrushes, a hidden outlet means no messy cords on the sink. I’ve installed this for a client who hated visible wires – now she’s thrilled every morning.save pin8. Recessed cubbiesIf your bathroom has a stud wall behind the sink, carving out cubbies can store daily essentials neatly. My go-to method is to sketch it in a free floor plan creator before construction.save pin9. Matching dispenser setSwitching from mismatched bottles to a coordinated set creates a streamlined vibe. I tried this at home with matte black pumps – it looked so good my partner finally noticed the sink area (a miracle!).save pin10. Over-sink shelf riserAdding a slim shelf over the sink faucet gives extra storage without closing in the space. For a recent remodel, I refined the measurements in an online bathroom design tool so it wouldn’t block the mirror.save pinFAQQ: How do I keep my bathroom sink top clutter-free?A: Group items, contain them in trays or jars, and stick to a color/material palette.Q: Is vertical storage practical in small bathrooms?A: Absolutely – tiered trays or wall-mounted racks can free valuable counter space without crowding the room.Start for FREEPlease check with customer service before testing new feature.Free Room PlannerDesign your dream room online for free with the powerful room designer toolStart for FREE
