IKEA Bathroom Must-Haves For Neat And Tidy Cabinets And Drawers

There are many ways to create the bathroom of your dreams  — maybe yours has a clawfoot tub, a large walk-in shower, a heated towel bar, or a backlit mirror; but without a doubt, what every dream bathroom has in common is order and organization that works for the space. Without the right organization and resources to keep things looking and operating smoothly, you could be left rifling through your storage spaces for your everyday essentials, instead of getting to enjoy your personal oasis. Since every person and every bathroom is unique, it's important to choose items that work for your space. Whether you're obsessed with IKEA or not, it's undeniable that the Scandinavian-founded retailer has an impressive number of must-haves that can keep your drawers and cabinets neat and tidy.

IKEA's massive inventory can make it overwhelming in terms of narrowing down what items could help you make the most of your drawers and cabinets. Fortunately, there are a select number of pieces that rise to the top in terms of versatility and usefulness. There's the SAXBORGA Jar with lid and tray, which brings a luxurious and effective system to your bathroom. You can also check out the UPPDATERA or VISSLAÅN bins to organize your items. Don't forget to fit your drawer or cabinet with a liner to maintain tidiness underneath your items. While you”ll have to determine which are best for your space, there's no lack of inspiration available from IKEA.

If you're hoping to bring some aesthetic and effective order to your bathroom cabinets and drawers, the SAXBORGA Jars with lids and tray set  ($13.99) is a great choice. This five-piece set comes with four attractive, clear jars so you can see what is inside, each with a natural cork lid, and a nice tray to go along with everything. The capacity of each container is also large enough that you don't have to constantly refill depleted inventory. Use them for bath salts, cotton swabs, or cotton balls. You can even use the tray as a separate decoration.

Maintaining order in your drawers is a lot easier with the right tools at your disposal. The set of 5 VISSLAÅN Boxes with lids ($11.99) makes organization simple with its clear containers that keep things where you need them, while still promoting visual order in an aesthetically pleasing way. Customers who have purchased this set are full of praise, giving it a 4.8-star average from nearly 200 reviews. They say the set is affordable and a good value. One customer writes, " It's so much more enjoyable when I open my drawers now!"

Sometimes when it comes to having a tidy and orderly space, you'll find yourself reaching for creative solutions. That is where the STACKSTOD Desk organizer ($4.99) comes in. While it is marketed as a desk organizer, there is no reason that you cannot put it to work in your bathroom cabinet where it can hold hair styling tools, bottles of shampoo, bars of soap, or other small containers of items you need regularly. The easy handle makes accessing this caddy simple, too. Despite being a newer product, it already has a 4.9-star average.

Sometimes a bathroom drawer or cabinet needs smaller containers to organize a variety of items. Whether it's supplement bottles, nail polish, face creams, grooming tools, or nail trimmers, the VISSLAÅN Box with compartments ($15.99) is a great way to keep track of it all. Customers praise this easy-to-implement organizer and its different compartment sizes, giving it an aggregate 4.6-stars. Most of the reviews are completely positive — a couple more negatively angled ones simply voice frustration that it did not fit their drawers, so be sure to measure your space first. When it gets dirty, wipe with a damp cloth.

If you find yourself attracted to natural materials, this set might get you inspired to organize your messy bathroom drawers and cabinets. The DRAGAN 4-piece bathroom set ($19.99) is crafted from bamboo, which is easy to care for and looks great for years (just avoid soaking them in liquid or using heavy-duty cleaning solutions). The squared corners of the boxes and their stacking design helps you to take advantage of the most space in your bathroom. Customers who have purchased the bamboo set have rated it highly, with a 4.7-star average from over 250 reviews. 

Using a small basket inside your vanity is a great way to transform your bathroom cabinets to produce more drawer space. Simply fill each basket with staples for one particular task — like skincare, beard trimming, or hair styling — and retrieve it from the cabinet when you need it. The RÅNEN Basket ($3.99) is an affordable way to pull this transformation off. Customers have made this item a best-selling product from IKEA, praising its versatility and attractive design — it has a 4.9-star average.

A small basket with a handle is an ideal storage resource for drawers in your bathroom; that's because you can stash it full of items that you need to use regularly, allowing you to easily keep your vanity clear. The RISATORP baskets with compartments ($19.99) is a chic and generously sized, highly-rated basket that can do precisely that. There's plenty of room inside to house bottles of products, containers of smaller items, hair styling tools, and the like. You can even create your own "grab-and-get-ready kit" to simplify your mornings.

Nothing optimizes space and creates tidiness and orderliness quite like a lazy Susan. By giving yourself a rotating base to hold items, you can now keep bottles of skin care, body wash, and other products within reach on this rotating base instead of stashed at the back of a cabinet. The IKEA KLIPPKAKTUS Lazy susan ($9.99) is affordable and made from attractive PET plastic that blends into whatever setting it's in. Buyers of the KLIPPKAKTUS say that this piece is worth buying, offering help where it's needed. Remember to clear and wipe down the organizer from time to time.

This innovative storage helper is designed to maximize vertical storage space that is often ignored. Mount the UPPDATERA Box with slider ($24.98) on the inside of a cabinet and simply slide it out to access it when needed. You can use it to hold cleaning materials for quick wipe ups in the bathroom or can store everyday grooming and hygiene materials that you rely on. This system has received a 4.3-star average from customers who say that it works well. A couple mention that it is on the smaller side, so keep your expectations realistic.

Adding space to your bathroom cabinets can seem like an impossible ask — after all, you cannot create more storage room out of thin air...or can you? With the VARIERA Shelf insert ($16.99), you can create another layer of storage space by adding a shelf that frees up space underneath and on top of it, essentially doubling your storage capacity without spending much money. Customers who have purchased this shelf insert have given it a 4.6-star average, saying that it is easy to assemble and put to work. It is also lauded for being surprisingly sturdy.

This PÅLYCKE Clip-on basket ($8.99) is an excellent way to add some tidiness to your bathroom cabinets. If you have clearance immediately underneath a shelf, that's some empty space that you could take advantage of. This clip-on basket is showcased holding coffee mugs, which illustrates how sturdy it is. You can use one to hold a blow dryer, rolled hand towels, or even a properly sized bin filled with makeup or skin care products. 

All of the aforementioned organizers, bins, and baskets will fall short at keeping your drawers and cabinets neat and tidy if they are not paired with a good foundational level of protection. The VARIERA Drawer liner ($4.99) gives your bathroom cabinets and drawers a layer of resilient plastic, which can protect against leaks or other spills that might occur on a regular basis. It has a 4.6-star average from more than 2,300 reviews, with customers praising its effectiveness against messes. When it gets messy, simply wipe it down with an all-purpose cleaner and a paper towel.

An orderly bathroom doesn't have to be sterile or utilitarian looking; it can be chic and stylish with the right resources. The SILVTJÄRN Container ($7.99) is a good example of affordable and pretty storage that can give a home to a variety of items. The top and base of the container can be used separately to hold distinct items, or use the base and lid together to create a closed container. Customers who have adopted the SILVTJÄRN find it a useful organizational tool. One reviewer says it's perfect for tooth flossers, another uses it for facial cleaning pads.

For cabinets that need some tidiness brought to them, the TAVELÅN Tray two pack ($13.99) is a great option. Crafted from natural bamboo and finished with a clear lacquer, these containers are designed to maintain their beauty for years. They are stackable if you're trying to optimize your storage space, or you can separate them out if you want easy access to the contents of each bin. The tray set is highly rated by customers, with a 4.7-star average from about 300 reviews. While bamboo is pretty durable, remember to keep these containers dry for best results.

The KUGGIS Box with lid ($14.99) provides versatile storage that keeps drawers and cabinets neat and tidy while limiting your visual overwhelm. They do this through their opaque design, making them perfect for storing items you want out of sight. If you share your bathroom with multiple people, you can have one bin for each individual — this can keep things organized and prevent them from getting mixed up. Customers praise them, giving them an overall 4.7-star average; they are loved for their appearance and ease of use, and they stack well — another win for tidiness.

An IKEA original, the UPPDATERA Box ($3.99) is an affordable workhorse that has been loved by countless customers (it boasts a 4.8-star average from more than 1,500 reviews). Thanks to its open design, you can use the bin to divide the space of a drawer into a more structured layout. The handles on either end also make the UPPDATERA perfect for organizing deep cabinets. Fill your UPPDATERA with styling tools, towels, shower essentials, supplements, cleaning supplies, or anything else that strikes your organizational fancy. The bin is also easy to maintain, since it can be wiped clean, and it comes in several colors.

Smaller items need tidy organization too — perhaps more so than larger items, since they can get lost in deep drawers. The VISSLAÅN Drawer organizers ($6.99) help to keep small things in reach without shifting around since they hang on the sides of compatible drawers (make sure you measure your drawers' sides first). Customers who have purchased the three-piece set of organizers point out that the largest one is open-bottomed, so it serves as a way to corral your bottles of products rather than to fully contain them. Despite some more critical reviews, others find them highly helpful.

For the beauty products aficionado who is constantly battling loose brushes, rolling tubes of makeup, small vials, and bottles of various sizes, a good tray that can keep everything stable is a great resource to have. The VISSLAÅN Tray ($8.99) provides affordable stability for a wide array of items you have been storing in your drawers or cabinets. Its low profile makes it easy to fit in spaces with limited clearance, too. 

Inventory that needs to be restocked routinely doesn't always need to be fully accessible, but it does need to be stored in drawers and cabinets. The RYKTA Storage box with lid ($9.99) offers ample space for storing hygiene products, extra razors, bottles of hair product, and a variety of other materials that you need from time to time. The sides can be partially seen through, making it easier to call to mind what's in each bin, and they stack nicely for better storage. Customers love these bins, giving them a 4.7-star average overall.

Bringing a trendy yet timeless vibe to your drawers and cabinets can be a good idea if you want your storage to feel sustainable. The PLOGFÅRA Storage boxes with lids ($19.99) includes two powder-coated steel storage containers that are just the right choice for concealing your bathroom supplies. Their appearance is aesthetically pleasing while also being versatile enough to work with a number of decor schemes, and they come with slots for labels to make things easy to find. A few reviews mention that the bins are sturdy and seem well-made — their lids close tightly, which can be good keeping items dry in a damp environment.

If some of the aforementioned containers and tools are feeling a bit cost-prohibitive, this next one is for you: the NOJIG Organizer ($0.99) is cheap but a truly versatile option for keeping cabinets and drawers tidy and neat. With over 3,000 customer reviews, it has a 4.7-star average. Reviews say that they are wonderful resources no matter what you need to organize. They come in a variety of sizes, so you can measure your space and choose accordingly.

Emptying your bathroom trashcan is a weekly habit for a cleaner bathroom, but that means one of two things: searching for plastic bags each time the bin is full, or housing plastics bags in your bathroom drawers or cabinets. Unfortunately, the latter often can create chaos, as bunched up bags can take up a lot of space or get in your way. The VARIERA Plastic bag dispenser ($4.99) can easily be attached to the side of your cabinet door, providing a convenient plastic bag hub. You can also use it for washcloths or new bath poufs.

Sometimes you need to bring more order to your bathroom cabinets or drawers, but smaller organization tools just aren't cutting in. If you find yourself struggling with bath bombs, hair styling tools, or extra bars of soap, the HÅLLBAR Bin with lid ($3.99) could provide some much-needed, albeit unexpected, help. These bins are designed to open easily, and their generous capacity makes it simple to stay on top of items. Multiple reviewers mention how useful it is in the bathroom. The lids on the bins are also hinged, so you won't misplace them. 

A neat and tidy bathroom cabinet goes beyond things just looking nice; you also want your space to actually be clean and free from debris without any heavy lifting. For a no-brainer, low-tech solution that really helps achieve this goal, the highly reviewed PEPPRIG Dust pan and brush ($2.99) is a good option. Since it's so small, you can stash it in a drawer or hang it from a hook. Use the PEPPRIG routinely when you clean the bathroom to also hit the back corners of your cabinet that might need a little TLC.
