Simple Organization Tips using a Silverware Tray

Personally I think bathroom drawers are one of the worst/messiest drawers in the house. There are so many things that need to be kept in the bathroom that stuff quickly takes over and ends up looking messy and unorganized. So today I’m showing you how I organized the drawers in two of our bathrooms using silverware trays. Yep, that’s right, I said silverware trays. They are great for storing and organizing silverware but they can also be very useful in the bathrooms!

So the first thing you need is a messy drawer, then you’ll need a silverware tray. I purchased both of the trays I’m showing you in this post on Zulily.

In my daughter’s bathroom I used this beautiful bamboo tray.

Using this tray made it easy for my daughter to be able to access everything she needs to be able to get ready in the morning. To protect the wood tray from toothpaste and water, I cut out a piece of drawer liner and placed it in the section for the toothbrush and toothpaste. This makes it easy to wipe the toothpaste off and it keeps the bamboo looking new.

In our bathroom we have 2 unused drawers in a (super ugly, impractical) vanity, that we put random things in when we moved in. Until recently this has been “catch all” drawer.

The drawer where we keep our toothbrushes has also gotten cluttered because of the lack of space.

Enter the silverware tray.

I put this silverware tray in one of the vanity drawers and used it to organize my headbands, extra makeup, hair clips, lipsticks and more!

Now this drawer is organized, the other vanity drawer is empty and my other drawers aren’t cluttered with extra stuff!

    You think bathroom drawers are a pain? Try 2 bathrooms without a single drawer! lol

      That sounds like a nightmare! What were they thinking when whoever it was built your house?!

    That’s a great idea for little girls’ hair accessories. I have a love-hate relationship with them… I reorganise every couple of months because they drive me crazy. Currently they’re in clear glass jars, all corralled together in a basket.

    Your last photo, which people are using a LOT on Pinterest, has the word ” organizing” spelled wrong. Thought you may want to know.

      Oh geez, thank you for letting me know! Unfortunately I can’t delete it to fix it because then all the pins wouldn’t work. 🙁 I really wish my photo editing software had spell check! 🙂
