Bathroom Organization: Creating Calm Through Order

Sometimes, even small spaces can cause big stress. This bathroom organization project was all about transforming an everyday space into one that feels peaceful, functional, and easy to maintain. My client wanted to eliminate the frustration of searching through cluttered drawers — and with a few thoughtful systems and product choices, we did just that

Identifying the Challenge

My client reached out feeling frustrated and overwhelmed every time she tried to find something in her bathroom. She shared that she’d rearranged the space from time to time, but never truly sorted through what she had — and it had started to feel like too much to tackle alone.

Planning the Project

During our consultation, we talked through ways to make the most of her space using simple organizing products like drawer sets, dividers, and small containers. She was open to having me handle the research and sourcing, so I focused on finding affordable, effective pieces that would make her bathroom feel calm and functional again.

While I always enjoy working with storage and organizing items clients already own, this project included a few new additions from Amazon — a drawer set, dividers, and small bins to categorize and contain everyday essentials.

Sorting and Simplifying

The first step was to completely empty the spaces I’d be working in — a staple for all of my projects. As I cleared out drawers and cabinets, I set aside anything outside its original packaging and pulled any expired products for the client to review. (She preferred to decide which items she was comfortable keeping.)

With everything out, I sorted items into clear categories and used her guest bedroom as a staging area to keep things organized throughout the process.

Creating a System That Lasts

Once everything had a home, it was a pleasure to show the client her newly organized drawers and cabinet — now with room to spare for any future additions. We even had a few small bins left over that she can use as her needs evolve.

She later shared in her testimonial:

“After speaking to Erica and discussing possible options on how to address my bathroom I was already feeling better! After she came in and worked her magic I can now find things in a flash and am no longer overwhelmed!”

A Peaceful Result

My favorite part about this project was being hands-on in creating a peaceful environment for my client. I can do that for you, too!
