A bathroom should be a place where you go to be refreshed every day, but if your countertops are overly filled with items, it may leave you feeling stressed and overwhelmed. Instead of knocking over bottles or products or living with a jam-packed vanity, adding the right countertop space to your bathroom could help you say goodbye to clutter. Amazon carries a stylish option that could prove useful — the StorBin 5-Tier Bathroom Counter Organizer.

Retailing for $29.99, this organizer has a unique design, featuring two open shelving portions — which can be used to corral bottles and pumps of products — as well as three drawers for smaller items. The product features white shelves, gold-colored risers, and see-through amber drawers, and measures 6.9 inches deep, 12.5 inches wide, and 16.3 inches high. While it is advertised as a way to organize everyday functional items, it could also display decorative articles without causing clutter, such as a vase of flowers, an oil reed diffuser, or a candle on the top shelf. Meanwhile, items like Q-tips or cotton balls can be easily tucked away inside the clear glass shelves for a clean, clutter-free look.

At the time of writing, the StorBin organizer had a 4.8-star average from more than 2,300 reviews. Customers say that it has an attractive appearance, offers good value for the price, and is well-made. One 5-star review on Amazon states, "My bathroom counter was a nightmare of makeup, skincare, and who-knows-what-else. I was skeptical about yet another organizer, but this one has completely transformed my space."

While this organizer can hold a lot of items, the countertop design means that if it's poorly organized it could quickly lead to visual overwhelm. Because of this, it's important to pare down your bathroom inventory prior to loading up this organizer. You can begin by tossing bottles of products that are nearly empty, consolidating the contents from your old lotion bottle into the fresh one first, for example. Now could also be a prime time to declutter makeup and personal care items that you don't love or use anymore. If you're having a hard time decluttering your bathroom, follow this one rule: everything should ideally fit within the confines of the organizer or inside a bathroom cabinet or drawer.

In order to keep this organizer looking its best, you'll want to periodically wipe down the sides of bottles and pumps where products are prone to spilling. Using a damp microfiber cloth can work well for lifting sticky or stubborn hair products or even facial oils. Every once in a while, clear the shelves of all items, wiping down the surfaces to remove any globs or product and dust that has built up.

The principle of negative space can come into play when trying to make this organizer more high-end, too. Instead of squeezing as much storage out of the countertop organizer as you can, space out the items, allowing for empty space between bottles or jars. This can help you choose to display products that you actually use every day or that have attractive packaging.
