To say my bathroom has limited storage is an understatement. There is a small linen closet in the bathroom where I store most of our towels. I keep our bathroom essentials like extra shampoo, conditioner, razors, soap, etc in the hallway linen closet. However, it was also too cluttered for my liking. Everything was haphazardly in there and I hated digging through the mess to find what I needed. I found a solution to help control the chaos – a DIY Bathroom Pharmacy!
If your bathroom is short on space like mine is, this is a great option to keep all your essentials in one convenient location. And it’s super easy to make!

- Sterilite ClearView 3 Storage Drawer Organizer
- Labeler (I use this one)
- Coloured tape for your Labeler (optional)
I used pink tape in my labeler, but you could use whatever colour you have on hand. This was a three drawer organizer so I selected three product categories we use most often. I filled the First Aid drawer with various sizes of bandages and antiseptic ointment. The second drawer I called Pain Management. It all our pain relievers for my frequent headaches as well as medicine for the kids. The bottom drawer is titled Oral Care and has extra toothbrushes, floss, and toothpaste.
This organizer saved me about a shelf and a half in the linen closet. It only takes up half a shelf now leaving it a 100x less cluttered looking.
I love being able to quickly find what I need without making an even bigger mess! This storage solution has been great for us.
This simple DIY is an affordable way to help you save your limited bathroom space and stay organized. I can’t change my small bathroom, but I can change how I use the space.
Could you use a DIY Bathroom Pharmacy in your home?

This is a really good way to make things neat and tidy and quickly accessible, I like it. I’m lucky in that I have a built in medicine cabinet, what doesn’t fit in there (seldom used stuff mainly) is in a small lidded container in the cupboard below the sink, as I have a minute bathroom, on which towels are stacked. 🙂

I really like how you organized everything in the 3-drawer container. Such a great idea. I have a “bathroom pharmacy” drawer that holds most of these things but I’d much rather have it better organized in something like this. Thanks for the idea!

That’s such a good idea! Out bathroom is cluttered.

Thanks for sharing. I’m going to try this in my linen closet.

That’s a wonderful idea! We should do this with our medicine cabinet and bathrooms. It would totally cut down on the amount of time hunting for a single item during critical times.
