11 Costco Solutions To Help Eliminate Unwanted Bathroom Clutter

Head on over to Costco and you'll find an array of products designed to help declutter your home. You'll find items that will help you get your kitchen organized, storage solutions for the bedroom, shelving for the garage, and, as you'll see, some beautiful products to help eliminate the clutter in your bathroom. And while shopping in-store is a treat reserved for members only, even non-members can score some of Costco's most exciting deals by visiting its online store.

For example, the items featured below are all readily available online. Some are excellent for family bathrooms, others are ideal for maximizing the storage in small bathrooms. Some even come in multiple sizes, allowing you to match your favorite design to whatever sized space you're working with. From shelves and laundry organizers to full-blown vanity units with everything built-in, including the sink, if you're ready to declutter your bathroom, this Costco guide is for you.

In order to choose the perfect bathroom vanity, you need to consider the space you're working with and how you use it. What existing architectural features should you new unit tie in with? Is it just a couple of toothbrushes and a tube of Colgate that you need to store? Or do you also need it to accommodate items for your multi-step daily skincare routine?

The Kohler Medicine Cabinet comes in two unique styles. It's available in both an arched shape and a rectangular design, letting you tie it in with the lines and overall architecture of your bathroom. Each comes fronted with a full-overlay mirrored door plus a mirrored interior. Both also feature twin, adjustable, 4-inch deep tempered-glass shelves, giving you room to keep both dental and dermatological products neatly stored.

As for price, the rectangular unit costs $179.99, with the arched version costing $20 less. Both share the same amount of storage space, and both can be surface-mounted or recessed into the wall. An easy-hang bracket and side mirror kit is supplied with both as standard; the only real difference lies in the shape of the mirror. Finally, while reviews for this particular product are scarce, it nevertheless gleans an overall 4.5-star rating. As for why, one user summed things up nicely, saying, "The shape of the vanity is absolutely gorgeous. The instructions are straightforward and easy."

When planning your bathroom layout, you may not have given much thought to trash or the need for a dedicated can. The thing is, bathrooms are naturally prone to their own forms of waste. Toilet paper tubes inevitably pile up; toothbrush heads eventually become frayed and need discarding; toothpaste tubes run dry; and the little boxes that their replacements come in get left on the counter if there isn't a place to put them. In other words, a trash can is essential to keeping your bathroom decluttered.

There are various ways to hide a trash can in your bathroom but, if you find one that matches your wider bathroom decor, you may not need to hide it at all. Kohler's 6-liter trash can is currently available in stainless steel or white. It's priced at $39.99 for a two-pack, with each color also including a fingerprint-resistant finish to keep them looking pristine. Quiet kick-stand operation helps ensure you don't wake people in nearby bedrooms, while the removable liner includes tabs to fit your trash bags securely in place. 

The model has been well received by buyers who appreciate its easy operation and modest footprint — ideal in smaller bathrooms. There are also several who said how useful it is in households with dogs. "We have dogs and these trash cans work great in the bathroom, protecting the trash from the little sneaks," said one. "But they also look far more elegant than the other brands with lids. More importantly, they are well made."

Laundry is often the bane of a clutter-free floor. Especially in the bathroom. And especially in family households. Dirty towels pile up, and old clothes get tossed in the corner before bathtime. And if you have a particularly rambunctious toddler, their washcloths can easily find their way into the corners of your bathroom and be left, forgotten, to molder. A laundry hamper can make all the difference, and while it's almost a purely practical solution, it's possible to get one that matches the decor of your space.

Seville Classics' Handwoven Water Hyacinth Laundry Hamper is designed for keeping dirty laundry off the floor. It has an attractive design and is priced at $56.99. Per the name, it's made from handwoven water hyacinth wicker strands, which are wrapped around a steel frame. The handmade design means that each hamper is unique. They all share the same oval lid and dual-compartment design, plus two removable, 100% polyester bag liners, for easy laundry pre-sorting. It has great reviews online, including one reviewer who gushed, "I spent $57 on a hamper and am THRILLED about it." They also said that the product overall is sturdy, and practicality aside, it's also beautiful. "I bought this because I wanted a quality product that will last for years, and this fits the bill."

If you're desperate for a solution to help organize your family bathroom, there are various types of laundry baskets that can help you declutter. Some, like the previous water hyacinth basket, are excellent for housing laundry in small spaces. But in larger bathrooms that get used by lots of family members, something a little more comprehensive might be in order, such as Trinity's Bamboo Laundry Station.

The set, which is currently priced at $99.99, is available with either a white or gray metal frame. In both cases, the three baskets feature a dark gray polyester fabric, with bamboo rims around the tips. Each station also includes a 36-inch by 17.3-inch bamboo countertop, which is likely to be useful in storage-starved bathrooms. Buyers seem to love the time that having three baskets saves when it comes to pre-sorting laundry. It's also widely praised for its quality and design, plus the thick worktop that doubles as a large shelf. "Great quality, easy assembly, love the extra space on top of the unit," one buyer wrote. "Highly recommend for anyone looking to stay organized on laundry."

Shelving is one of the most versatile forms of storage, regardless of the space you're trying to organize. It's an excellent way to declutter your garage, for example, and can prove useful in your living spaces for giving decorations a place to live. It's also useful in smaller bathrooms, and at Costco, you'll find plenty of space-saving shelves. One highly rated example is Trinity's 3-Tier Modular Shelving Rack. It's priced at $64.99 and comes as a set of two individual shelving racks. Being modular, they can either be stacked together vertically, placed side by side, or used in different zones of your bathroom. The shelf heights are also adjustable in 1-inch increments, meaning you can tailor them to accommodate your linens, toiletries, and more.

The shelves come in a choice of black, chrome, or bronze finishes. If you're concerned about moisture exposure in the bathroom, the black and bronze finishes are listed as being rust-resistant. However, they are only certified for indoor and dry environments, so we wouldn't recommend placing these right next to a tub or shower, or using them in a very small, steam-prone bathroom with ventilation issues. 

Overall, the product garners a 4.8-star rating, with buyers finding uses for it in all areas around the house, including the bathroom. "Perfect size!" said one. "These fit into my bathroom closet, allowing me to organize all my stuff."

Having a vanity with as much storage as possible is key to calming clutter in a bathroom — as they are usually the workhorse storage piece. Studio Bathe's Hudson Gray Bath Vanity Unit is a comprehensive unit that includes a large central compartment, plus seven additional drawers, to help keep your supplies tucked away. It also comes with customizable drawer dividers, meaning you can avoid falling foul of common bathroom storage mistakes, like failing to categorize the items in your cabinets.

We should mention that this unit is considerably more expensive than other solutions in this guide. However, its price tag also buys a built-in ceramic sink and quartz worktop. Gunmetal black (or brushed nickel) hardware complements the gray wood doors, and a power unit inside the central cupboard (with two mains and two USB outlets) helps to keep your toothbrush and grooming devices both charged and neatly stored. The unit is currently available in two sizes: 42 inches, currently discounted to $1,299.99; and 60 inches, which is currently reduced to $1,249.99. 

As for reviews, the majority of buyers are delighted with their purchases. "I'm beyond impressed with the quality of this product," said one. Another, who called it a "Great vanity for a great price," said, "The vanity has lots of storage. The top and sinks are beautiful. The whole thing really looks luxe."

Whether you need something with more storage or you're undergoing a bathroom remodel, you shouldn't overlook Costco's vanity units. Kohler's Tio Bathroom Vanity Cabinet is currently available in three sizes: 48-inch, 60-inch, and 72-inch. Each has progressively more storage — the smallest with four drawers plus a cabinet, the largest with a double-door cabinet at each end, plus two drawers in the middle. Like the piece we featured earlier from Studio Bathe, it has a built-in sink, along with a quartz worktop and splashback. The cabinet itself features a wood base, which contrasts with the gray doors and shelves. It also includes both brushed nickel and matte black handpulls, along with customizable drawer dividers to help optimize your storage.

The smallest available set (48-inch) costs $1,699, which may seem steep. However, the majority of buyers agree that the price tag is worth it when it comes to organizing a bathroom. Some have praised the beauty of the wood and quartz, while others note that it helped save them thousands of dollars compared with other, similar solutions. "We bought this for our primary bath remodel," said one buyer. "Lots of well-designed storage. Looks great in the space with a sleek, modern design."

Shelves can be handy to display both decorative and functional pieces, and in really small bathrooms, where floor space is at a premium, they're an excellent way to capitalize on vertical space. It's entirely possible to upgrade your small bathroom with a simple shelving DIY – but if you want to save some time, this $43.99 twin set of Acacia Floating Shelves from Vision Home lends itself well to minimalist design schemes. Per the manufacturer, they're also quite easy to install, and, if mounted properly, can hold weights of up to 50 pounds.

Each shelf measures 24 inches by 9.5 inches, which should be ample for keeping toiletries, toilet rolls, and items like candles more neatly stored. The shelves themselves are made from solid acacia wood and come supplied with all the hardware required for installation. Most users seem very pleased with them, too. As one buyer put it, "The quality and workmanship are excellent. You cannot beat this for the money."

Anyone hunting for Costco shelves that'll keep a bathroom tidy in style has plenty of options to choose from. What you choose ultimately depends on the wider design of your bathroom, and the weight (and amount) of the items you need to organize. If you're unlikely to exceed 110 pounds of weight per shelf, then Mesa's 3-tier Acacia Storage Shelf, priced at $48.99, could be a viable option. It requires some assembly, but it comes with the necessary hardware to put everything together. As for the floorspace it requires, it's 15.25 inches by 13.78 inches, and sits at a little over 35.4 inches high.

You can use its three tiers to store folded towels, candles, toiletries, toilet paper, and more. Alternatively, you could use the unit as a bath caddy to store your favorite bathtime reads or luxurious products. Wherever you position it, buyers note that it adds effortless style to a space. As one reviewer put it, "If you're not much of a decorator, this instantly makes a bathroom feel a bit more luxe without having to do extra work." Another, who said, "Can't beat a shelf like this for the price," added, "It looks really nice and was easy to put together. Can be used in a bathroom or it could be used anywhere else as a nice-looking and affordable shelf."

Even with the generous cabinets featured in the vanity units from Kohler and Studio Bathe, a clutter-free bathroom isn't guaranteed. At least, a clutter-free cabinet isn't. Bottles of cleaning fluid and toiletries inevitably build up, while washcloths, even with the most fastidious folding routine, can eventually become jumbled with your sponges. To get around this, it can pay to incorporate some additional organization inside the cabinet.

iDesign's 6-piece Linus Deep Storage Bin set features six clear storage bins. All are 16 inches long, but they come in two different widths — 4 and 6 inches — with three of each included per set. The see-through plastic keeps things visible and thus more accessible. They also stack, allowing you to make use of vertical cabinet space. Buyers have praised the set for making organization easier around the house. As one buyer put it, they "fit perfectly into bathroom drawers and create new space for storage of other items! Also used for cleaning products ... so no more ruined floors because the container leaked."

The shelves and additional worktops featured so far are great for decluttering, as they provide extra surfaces on which to store common accessories. However, those extra surfaces can themselves be prone to clutter, especially in bathrooms that are used by the whole family. This makes a countertop organizer a sensible choice to keep everything neatly in place. 

Per the name, Seville Classics' 2-tier Acacia Sliding Bin Organizer features bins built from solid acacia wood. They're fitted to sliding runners, which in turn are mounted on a metal frame. The unit also includes non-slip feet, to prevent the unit from slipping around. The organizer is designed for storage around the home, but in the bathroom, buyers have put it to good use for storing cosmetics, bathroom cleaners, soaps, and more. As one user said, "I purchased two for under my bathroom sink. The bin organizer is handsome, sturdy, and slides in and out very easily."
