When your bathroom countertop becomes cluttered, it can make your daily routine more chaotic and overwhelming. Keeping your skincare bottles, toothbrushes, makeup tools, and other everyday items within reach is helpful, but your counters can quickly become a mess. You can declutter them by adhering to the flat surface rule, but there are still essentials that you may need or want close by. The good news is you don't need an expensive overhaul or custom organizers to fix the problem. There is a surprisingly stylish and functional solution created from a couple of items at Target. As shown by @theheartofbloom on TikTok, simply placing Target's short, transparent tumblers inside of the all-purpose storage bin lets you create a streamlined organization system.

This hack comes from combining Target's Room Essentials PolyPro Short Transparent Coral Pink Tumblers with the Brightroom Clear Plastic Decorative Container. Together, these items provide a handy way to keep your bathroom countertop neat while still maintaining a cohesive look. This is just one helpful DIY to stop bathroom clutter in its tracks, but it works incredibly well. The bin acts as a boundary, keeping your items contained in a single spot, while the tumblers provide internal organization. This layered structure to bathroom storage is usually achieved by buying more expensive systems, but here it's done for around $9, making it both affordable and stylish. Three tumblers fit comfortably inside the bin, with some extra room for taller items. Simply pick up a few tumblers and the clear storage bin at Target to create your new organized setup.

Depending on how much storage you have, you may only want just a couple of tumblers. However, if you have a lot of clutter to manage, you could get an extra storage bin and cups to make more than one "system." If you own a water flosser with a larger base, for example, you'll need to make sure there's room to place it in the bin next to the tumblers, since it won't fit inside. You can group and even label each tumbler for a specific use. For instance, one can hold toothbrushes, another can be for skincare tools, and then a last one can be for storing your cosmetics. The separation keeps your items in sight and easy to grab, and it even prevents the unsightly "junk drawer" effect with everything being tossed together.

The clear bin keeps things looking light and minimal, so it's versatile enough to work with your design. If you have a farmhouse, modern, or even more eccentric bathroom style, the cups can provide a subtle pop of color. You can choose different cup colors for a fun look that brightens up your bathroom. You could also opt to have them all the same color. For example, you can purchase black tumblers to accent a black and white bathroom design, achieving a monochrome look. Besides the coral color, you could also opt for a light yellow, mint green, or transparent blue. If you prefer a more neutral palette, go for the cocoa butter beige cups.
