Step 5: Put the 'Keepables' Back
Let's go back to that vision you created for yourself. Before putting items back, reflect on that vision and purchase any organizational shelves, trays, or accessories you might need.

"Storage should always support how you want to get ready for the day. It should be both fun and functional, per your vision," says Ivey. "Your 'representatives' — meaning products that you actively use and love — should be readily accessible inside a top drawer, bin, shelf, or pouch. Meanwhile, backstock or alternative products can be stored further away until it's time for them to shine."

Try not to stress too much about the storage aspect. Instead, really prioritize the function of your space and it'll fall into place better.

Step 6: Maintain the Momentum
Now that everything has its place, it'll be much easier to stay organized. (Labels help, too!) To really help keep things organized, commit to a monthly refresh. Organizational work is far less tedious when you do it in small increments versus all at once.

"You don't have to do a full, deep declutter and organization each month, but setting aside a little time to do a quick once-over of the space to put everything away and tidy up will help your bathroom from getting out of control," says Rosenthal.
