Bathroom drawer clutter, especially in a small space, is a visual nightmare. All those dreams of a relaxing spa-like atmosphere are instantly dashed when all you can see are moisturizer tubes, toothbrushes, and makeup overflowing from the drawers of your vanity. Of course, there are plenty of ways to organize the chaos, but store-bought decluttering products add up. When you're trying to clear up several drawers, it's not always feasible to buy the latest top-of-the-line storage stations. Fortunately, if you're looking for help to keep your bathroom clutter-free without breaking the bank, there's still one very affordable solution, and it lives in IKEA's kitchen section.

The STÖDJA flatware tray is available for around $4, measures 11 by 20 inches, and is made of plastic. While it's designed to store utensils, this culinary sorting tool works perfectly for small toiletries and makeup. Ditch the overcrowded look, install one of these racks, and start looking for items to declutter in your bathroom today. The best part is, you can grab several of these liners without overspending, and all your drawers will match!

Getting started on your bathroom decluttering project is as simple as grabbing a few STÖDJA flatware trays for yourself. IKEA sells these for an affordable price of around $4 per tray, making them a convenient buy, especially if you're lining multiple drawers. To transform this basic minimalist piece into something that works in your space, grab spray paint in your favorite color. Rust-Oleum in metallic gold, for example, adds an instant pop of luxury to this simple piece. With supplies gathered, it's time to clean house. Start by painting your STÖDJA, if you wish to do so, and let it dry before putting it in a drawer. Now, fill it with all those chaotic items cluttering the drawer. 

If you want to take your drawer liner the extra mile, check out fabric samples at your local craft or sewing store. Look for velvet with peel-and-stick backing, and cut pieces to fit in the bottom of each storage compartment. This adds a stylish element and guarantees nobody will ever assume your tray was a cheap IKEA find. Who knew you could free up bathroom countertop space using a kitchen storage solution and save money doing it? Now, if only decluttering the garage were this simple.
