How to Style and Organise Your Shaving Cabinet for a Clutter-Free Bathroom

A well-organised shaving cabinet can do wonders for your bathroom. It keeps your everyday essentials within easy reach, helps you avoid countertop clutter, and brings a sense of calm and order to your space. But it’s not just about cramming everything inside; organising it well can transform your morning routine and even make your bathroom feel bigger. Here’s how to organise and style your shaving cabinet so it looks as good inside as it does outside.

Start With a Clean Slate

Before you begin organising, clear everything out of your shaving cabinet and give it a good clean. You’ll be surprised how much builds up over time (half-used bottles, expired products, and things you forgot were even there). Take this opportunity to sort through your items and decide what you really need to keep. Anything expired or that you haven’t used in months? It’s time to toss it. Once you’ve got a clean slate, you can start thinking about how to organise the essentials in a way that works for your daily routine.

Prioritise Your Essentials

The key to a clutter-free shaving cabinet is keeping it simple. Prioritise the items you use every day and give them pride of place. Think toothbrushes, toothpaste, skincare products, and grooming tools. These should be stored at eye level or on the easiest-to-reach shelves so you can grab them without hunting around.

Keep the essentials front and centre, and keep the rest out of site. SHOP NOW. 

For things you only use occasionally – like face masks, spare razors, or travel-size toiletries – store them on higher or lower shelves where they’re out of the way but still accessible.

If your cabinet has adjustable shelves, play around with the height to fit taller bottles and make better use of the space.

Use Containers to Group Similar Items

Small containers or baskets can be a game-changer when it comes to keeping your cabinet tidy. They help you group similar items together – like all your skincare in one container and grooming tools in another – so everything has a home.

Clear acrylic containers are a great choice because they let you see what’s inside at a glance, while woven or matte-finish containers add a softer, more decorative touch. Just make sure they’re easy to wipe clean, especially if you’re storing items that can leak.

Add a Touch of  Personal Style

Who says the inside of your shaving cabinet can’t look as good as the outside? A few small styling touches can make it feel polished and intentional. Decant liquids like hand soap or toner into matching glass bottles for a cohesive look, or use sleek ceramic jars to store cotton pads and earbuds.

If your cabinet has mirrored doors, keeping the interior neat and styled can also add to the overall feel of the bathroom. Every time you open the door, you’ll get that satisfying “everything in its place” moment.

Maximise Every Inch of Shaving Cabinet Space

If you’re working with a smaller cabinet, it’s all about making the most of every centimetre. Use stackable containers or shelf risers to create extra storage layers, and don’t forget about the inside of the cabinet door. Adhesive hooks are great for hanging small items like tweezers or hair ties, while slim magnetic strips can hold metal grooming tools in place. For LED-integrated cabinets with limited depth, keep the items inside simple and functional to avoid a cluttered look.

Keep it Practical and Easy to Maintain

The best organisation systems are the ones you’ll actually keep up with. Don’t overcomplicate things – your goal is to make life easier, not harder. Keep frequently used items within reach and avoid overcrowding the shelves.

If you share your bathroom, give each person their own designated section or container. This helps prevent the inevitable “Where’s my moisturiser?” chaos in the mornings.

Regularly check your cabinet and do a quick clean-out every couple of months. It only takes a few minutes and will save you from dealing with a big mess later on.
