Despite your best efforts, bathrooms have a way of becoming disorganized. From makeup and perfume to shampoos and hair spray, it’s where we keep many of the beauty and wellness products we use every day. But no matter how glamorous your bathroom decor is, cluttered countertops and drawers piled up with products definitely don’t give off a soothing, spa-type feeling. And not only is a messy bathroom unsightly, there’s also nothing more annoying than not being able to find your favorite lipstick or hand cream because it’s piled up under all your other lipsticks and hand creams. If this sounds like your situation, we have some helpful bathroom organization ideas and tips to get you started.

For starters, sort through your bathroom beauty and wellness products and toss every half-empty bottle of hair spray, nail polish, or toner you’ve not used any time lately. This is a no judgment zone: We’ve all tried products we don’t like, and there’s absolutely no reason to hang onto them because you "might" use them if they’re just going to sit in the cabinet taking up valuable space. Then take stock of what’s left; these are the items that should be kept conveniently at hand in a readily accessible place. Pretty baskets, dividers to sort small items, and shelves can help make your bathroom neat and tidy so you'll always be able to find what you need.

Ahead, our top bathroom organization ideas and product picks for getting your space decluttered in a hurry:
