Declutter Bathroom Cabinets And Drawers With A Common Kitchen Staple

Have you tried to create the perfect spa-like bathroom, only to find you never feel very spa-like when you are in there? It's probably a rare day when you can sit in a bubble bath drinking champagne like people in movies. Your bathroom experience probably feels a little more rushed. Rushing to get ready for the day. Rushing to change before an evening out. Rushing to get kids bathed so you can have five minutes to yourself.  

If this sounds familiar, you probably don't have time to put things away properly. The very reason it is so hard to keep cluttered bathroom cabinets organized is the very reason you need to do so. When you are already in a rush, you can't waste valuable time searching for that matching earring or perfect shade of lipstick. Fortunately, there's a common kitchen item you can use to declutter and organize your bathroom: an ice cube tray. 

An ice cube tray will fit perfectly even in short bathroom drawers, and you can stack them in cabinets for a space-saving solution. The individual sections are great for corralling jewelry and other small items. Best of all, when you are in a hurry, you don't need to think about putting something back in the proper spot. Just toss it in any open compartment and your things will stay organized with minimal effort.

An ice cube tray resembles a jewelry tray without the velvet lining, making it a great low-cost alternative for organizing jewelry. Keep rings visible, earring sets together, and small necklaces tangle-free using this easy bathroom storage hack. You can also repurpose a silverware drawer insert to hold larger necklaces and bracelets alongside the ice cube tray.  

It's also a good place to toss those extra buttons that end up in junk drawers. In fact, you can keep all of your sewing supplies organized in the bathroom cabinet using an ice cube tray's convenient compartments to hold buttons, spools of thread, needles, straight pins, safety pins, and thimbles. You can even use ice cube trays to store make-up. Fill with foam makeup sponges and eyeshadow pots, or stand lipsticks and nail polishes up in the compartments to find the color you need in a snap. 

If you don't already own one, you can get a 2-pack of The Home Store Stacking Ice Cube Trays at the Dollar Tree for only $1.25. Ice cube trays are a cheap and convenient storage solution all over the home, including garage storage for nails and screws, and office/craft room organization for beads, pompoms, sequins, and other small items. You'll want to stick one in every room!
