Monthly Refresh – Time to Tackle the Bathroom Clutter!

/ Simplify with Sheeba/

Does anyone else feel like January was an entire year instead of just a month? After the holiday chaos and New Year’s resolutions, January tends to feel long and exhausting. But now, we’ve officially made it to February—the month where we settle into the year and start finding our rhythm. It’s also the perfect time to tackle a space that often gets overlooked: the bathroom!

Our bathrooms are where we start and end our days, yet they can quickly become cluttered with half-used products, expired medications, and overflowing drawers. A disorganized bathroom not only slows down your routine but also adds unnecessary stress to your day. Let’s change that!

Step 1: Declutter Ruthlessly

Go through every cabinet, drawer, and shelf, and ask yourself:

  • Is this expired? (Check makeup, skincare, and medications!)

  • Do I actually use this? (Be honest—if you haven’t used that face mask in six months, you probably won’t.)

  • Do I have duplicates? (Consolidate and get rid of excess.)

Step 2: Categorize & Contain

Once you've pared down your items, group similar things together:

  • Daily essentials (toothbrush, face wash, deodorant)

  • Haircare (brushes, styling products)

  • Skincare & makeup (sorted by frequency of use)

  • Medications & first aid (store in a cool, dry place, not the steamy bathroom)

Use drawer dividers, clear bins, and labels to keep everything easy to find.

Step 3: Maximize Your Space

Make use of vertical storage with wall-mounted shelves, add under-sink organizers, or use over-the-door caddies for extra storage. If you’re short on counter space, invest in a tiered organizer to keep daily items neat but accessible.

Step 4: Refresh & Maintain

Now that your bathroom is organized, add small touches to keep it feeling fresh:

  • A stylish tray to corral everyday items

  • A small plant or diffuser for a spa-like feel

  • A fresh set of towels to complete the transformation

And most importantly—maintain the system! Spend just 5 minutes each week tidying up, and your bathroom will stay organized all year long.
