Bathroom Organizing: Maximizing the Sink Area. The bathroom sink area is among the first to get clogged with stuff in this small, essential room.

To make sure bathroom clutter doesn't affect your daily routine, make a point of keeping this crucial area organized. Here's how.

1 Look carefully at what you have sitting on the counter area.

If it isn't used often - say several times a day - get ready to move it somewhere else.

2 Get rid of anything that's just decorative and serves no useful purpose for you or the kids.

Replace these with a few attractive containers to organize what's left, such as Q-Tips, cotton balls and toothbrushes.

3 The cabinet under the sink.

Start by paring down what you and the kids really don't need, and organizing the rest so that you free up precious under-sink space.

First, empty the cabinet of its contents. Toss what you can.

Next, sort what's left into two piles or boxes. One for frequently used items and second for seldom-used items.

Place the second box outside the door: You'll need to find a place to store these non-essentials later.

This is a great place for a space-saving plastic drawer unit. You may be able to fit two or three drawer units under the sink.

It's also the place to stash makeup kids, kids' hair accessories, extra shampoo and products, contact lens items, manicure/pedicure items.
