Not That: Beauty, Junk-Drawer Style

Don't just throw makeup and accessories in a vanity drawer. Chances are slim that you'll find what you're looking for, and you could easily forget about products that find their way to the back and bottom of the drawer.

Do This: Towel Tricks

Do fold towels in half lengthwise and then in thirds. You'll end up with tight, thick bundles that will stack well on shelves. Consider giving each member of the household their own color of towel to avoid confusion. Bonus: This makes it easy to tell who is leaving their towel on the bathroom floor.

Not That: Folding Fail

Don't let stacks of towels become unruly. Misfolded towels will fall over and take up too much room.

Do This: Place Everyday Products Front-and-Center

Do use medicine cabinet space for everyday grooming items, such as facial products, shaving tools, dental care tools, and contact lens solution. Store toothbrushes and toothpaste in clear, labeled plastic tumblers to avoid confusion.

Not That: Use Up Convenient Storage

Don't store medicines and other products you rarely use in the medicine cabinet. It should be saved for frequented-used products only.

Do This: Tidy Up Toiletries

Organize items below the sink in stackable bins that can fit around existing plumbing pipes. Label bins for soap, cleaning wipes, first aid essentials, and grooming products for each person who shares the bath.

Not That: Allow Chaos

Don't let the area under the sink get out of control.
