Declutter My Bathroom Cabinets With Me

I felt a wave of determination wash over me so I decided to declutter the bathroom. It was time to reclaim this space, transforming it from a chaotic jumble of items into a serene oasis of order and functionality.


Armed with a sense of purpose, I embarked on a mission to declutter, sort, and reorganize every nook and cranny of my bathroom.


The journey was about more than just tidying up. It was a step toward fostering a sense of calm and rejuvenation in my daily routine.

1. Decluttering and sorting

The first step in my bathroom organization journey was to tackle the cabinets and drawers.


With determination, I opened each one, ready to face the mess head-on. It was time to bid farewell to expired items that had lingered for far too long – old medicines, creams, and even those ancient cough drops that had lost their potency.


As I tossed these items into the trash, a feeling of catharsis washed over me. The cabinets started to breathe again, no longer weighed down by the burden of unnecessary clutter.

2. Combining and consolidating

While sorting through my bathroom clutter, I stumbled upon a collection of nearly empty shampoo and lotion bottles. I don’t know if this happens in your home too. I’ll buy more of something I already have, or open a new bottle not realizing I already have an open container.


Rather than keeping them as relics of my past beauty routines, I decided to combine their contents into fewer bottles. This not only freed up space but also highlighted the value of using products to the last drop.


With newfound enthusiasm, I discarded the redundant containers, feeling a sense of accomplishment with each bottle I consolidated. Consolidate as much as you can to reduce the amount of stuff cluttering your space.

3. Wiping away the dust

With the cabinets and drawers decluttered, my attention turned to the shelves – those forgotten surfaces that had accumulated a layer of dust and disarray. Armed with a damp cloth and an eco-friendly cleaning solution, I set out to restore the shelves to their former glory.


As I wiped away the dust and grime, I could almost hear my bathroom sigh in relief. The rejuvenation was not limited to the physical space. It extended to my mindset as well.

4. Embracing order with organizers

Reorganizing was the next step in my pursuit of a more organized bathroom.


To prevent future clutter, I invested in small bins and organizers to corral the myriad of small items that had once cluttered my shelves and countertops.


These clever storage solutions became the backbone of my bathroom's new order, providing designated spaces for toiletries, cosmetics, and other essentials.


The sight of neatly arranged containers brought a sense of satisfaction that resonated with every interaction in the space.

Standing amidst my transformed bathroom, I marveled at the journey I had undertaken. What began as a simple decision to declutter had blossomed into a profound reimagining of a space that I use every day.


The process not only yielded a more organized bathroom but also taught me valuable lessons about the importance of mindfulness, sustainability, and intentional living.


Decluttering my bathroom

With a renewed sense of purpose and a clutter-free haven to call my own, I can face each day with a lighter heart and a clearer mind. The bathroom had become more than just a functional room. It was now a reflection of my commitment to embracing simplicity and creating a tranquil sanctuary within the walls of my home.
