Getting organized is always a good idea, but it can be hard to know where to start and not miss any important spots. You know what space in your home probably needs it the most? Under your sinks. Underneath the sink is the often long-forgotten storage place where bottles of shampoo to shower cleaner alike get shoved into without any regard. When it comes to getting anything out from under the sink, it’s a mess of stuff that you have to sift through just to find one lousy sponge.
Thankfully, we’ve got you covered with some organization inspiration. Check out our top 32 under-sink storage ideas to get your organizing juices flowing.
1. Don’t Forget the Doors
Feel like you’re running out of space to store stuff under the sink? Try adding some simple wire baskets to your doors to increase your storage. This allows you to have quick and easy access to your most-used items in a snap.
2. Clean Up Those Cleaning Supplies
It seems like storing your cleaning supplies can end up being the biggest mess. What we love about this storage space is how thoughtfully everything is organized. Everything has a spot with it’s own marked container. Plus, adding a small shelf can dramatically increase your useable space under the sink.
When you tell your friends that you’re installing a bar in your house, they might not get what you mean. Using a simple hanging bar on your cabinet door can be a quick and easy solution to your problem of organizing all of your spray bottles. We love this simple and cheap organization hack!
4. Storage Inside Storage
Adding some clear plastic drawers is such a clever way to organize your smaller items, like sponges and washcloths. Plus, with the clear plastic, you can always quickly see what’s inside without having to root around for anything. Adding these cute labels are also totally optional, but we love the little touch that it brings.
5. Pull-Out Caddies & Crafty Hacks
There’s a lot going on in this photo. First, let’s tackle to pull-out storage caddy – this is an easy and smart way to quickly get access to everything under the sink without having to lean down and strain to reach your things. Also, we love the crafty idea to use a clothes hanger as an easy way to hang your makeup bag up.
These sturdy stackable mesh drawers can make the space under your sink so useable and accessible. Gone are the days of rifling through bathroom and cleaning items. Also, adding dividers to the drawers can immensely up your storage game.
7. Hooked on Organization
If you’re not the handy type, try installing stick-on hooks rather than drilling on a basket to your door. This not only saves you time and money, but you can also replace the basket in a snap without all the hassle of uninstalling all of the hardware.
For those of you crafty folk, this one requires a little skill with PVC. As shown in the photo, attach sections of PVC pipe to your sink cabinet door to store your styling tools with ease.
We love these tiered baskets and the turntables. Adding some simple baskets to your sink doors can really maximize your storage, while the turntables keep everything right at your fingertips.
10. Repurpose Your Shoe-rack
Fabric shoe organizers can also be used under your sink for smaller compartments, like makeup and smaller bottles. Plus, they won’t clash with any of your other storage pieces inside your cabinets since they don’t stick out very far. Try adding labels to your compartments to keep everything extra tidy.
While having a larger basket does cut into some of your storage options under your sink, you can also store bigger and more unwieldy things, like a hairdryer for example. We also love how this basket easily attaches and detaches to the door.
12. Borrowed from the Bakery
Cake stands and tiered serving stands make excellent under-sink storage racks for all your organizing needs. Try putting some of your loose items, like cotton swabs and bandages in mason jars to make your space even neater (and cuter)!
Stick-on hooks are wonderfully versatile, whether you’re using them to hang keys to hanging towels. Putting up a few of the smaller hangers gives you an easy spot to hang gloves, brushes and everything in between. For added fun, pick a bright color to get a little extra pop under your sink.
We’ve already established how handy a pull-out caddy can be – but if the two levels completely overlap, you’ll lose out on some space for your taller items. Try looking for a tiered rack where the top level doesn’t totally hang over the lower level. Also, adding some simple S-hooks can give you a little spot to hang some things on your caddy.
Organizing under your sink does not have to be expensive or look particularly fancy. Honestly, how many people will really be peeking under your sinks? Buying some simple plastic stackable drawers and containers can do the job of organizing just as well without putting a dent in your wallet.
16. Clearly the Right Choice
For a sleek and simple bathroom upgrade, try adding some shallow clear plastic racks for storing some of your smaller items. We love how clean and barely noticeable these look.
If you don’t want to put a bar on your cabinet door, try installing one on the interior of your under-sink space. This will allow you to store things underneath your hanging bottles instead of having them all compete for the same space – pretty clever!
We all know the struggle to get a trash bag off of the roll – first you can’t even find where the bag starts, much less where to tear it. Get rid of that headache by putting in some racks for your trash bags. These could also easily be used for paper towels instead.
This color coordination is bringing us some real relaxation. Colors aside, we love these wire baskets and drawers. These are another great way to organize your things while still keeping everything looking good.
20. Working With What You’ve Got
If your storage space under the sink already has a shelf, try adding plastic baskets to help keep your things neat and tidy. Also, we love the little jars with hand-written labels – this can be a great way to keep track of all your hair ties and bobby pins.
Organizing does not have to be elaborate. If you only have a few things to keep under your sink, don’t be afraid to keep your organization simple and straightforward. These labeled containers keep it perfectly simple for all of your basic needs.
When labeling, it can overwhelming to figure out how to best label without being too specific or too vague. We love that these labels are just right, detailing what’s in those drawers based on what and how you use them over what exactly they are.
Keeping it simple with some metal drawers will have your space functional and sensible. We also love the sealing jars to keep some loose items in for easy access. If you’re a no-nonsense organizer, try this idea for your space.
We love this insanely creative idea to hang some storage baskets from the top section of your storage space. This will allow you keep taller items upright while also keeping smaller items, like towels, down bellow within reach. Say goodbye to bending over to get underneath your sink.
Racks are a simple way to keep everything in check without having to give up too much space underneath your sink. Using a clothespin is also a clever way to hang up your items without having to invest in any hooks.
Clear plastic storage containers are one of the best ways to keep everything organized without losing track of any of your items. Try layering your drawers and containers to maximize your storage space.
27. Lazy Susan for Lazy Organization
Lazy Susans can be used for much more than just making Thanksgiving easier. Try repurposing your old Lazy Susan or any old turntables to keep your cleaning supplies only a quick rotation away.
If you like everything exactly where it’s supposed to be, don’t be afraid to get specific with your labeling. Sometimes the best way to organize is do what works best for you and your space. Plus, these clear plastic drawers are cheap and easy to use in any space.
Small storage bins are another great way to give yourself more space under your cramped sink space. Stacking them is another way to easily organize your items. You can also always rearrange the stacking order whenever you need.
30. An Organized Aesthetic
If you like to keep your spaces both organized and aesthetically pleasing, this might be the perfect inspiration for you. Adding some easy-adhere wallpaper to the interior of your cabinets can give you just the right look. Also, try getting some colorful trays to brighten up your storage.
31. The Perfect Before-And-After
Nothing is better or more satisfying than a before-and-after photo. We are living for this under-sink transformation. This really proves that no mess is too big to tackle when you’re motivated.
32. Simple & Straightforward
We love this simple sink storage – nothing beats using some easy bins to just get everything in order. Plus, how can you not love how perfectly these three bins fit side by side? So satisfying.
Organizing can be hard, but always remember that starting is the hardest part. Once you have all of your tools and pieces together, it’s easy to tackle any under-sink renovation.
Hopefully this organization inspiration is all you need to get started on your own storage upgrade!
