According to Barbara Brock, founder and CEO of Barbara Brock Inc, if everything has a place, then keeping it organized and clean is simpler.

She says, 'The best way to manage your space is to group like items together – in other words – categorize. Categorizing shows you what you have (or don’t have) and what is important to you. By grouping things together, you can see what kind of storage you need and it’s easier to see what product to buy to house your items. The bonus is, it’s easier to keep the bathroom clean if you and everyone in the household know where to put an item.'

'A great reason to declutter in a day is because guests or family are coming to visit,' says Barbara Brock, founder and CEO of Barbara Brock Inc., a professional organizing and staging company. Brock is also the past president of the National Association of Productivity & Organizing Professionals. She adds, 'Perhaps there is a last-minute meeting at your house, and it is a mess.'

One thing the most organized people have in their bathrooms is a trash bin. While this doesn't stand out as a straight-up vanity organizer, it helps to make the most of your vanity space by ensuring that empty packaging and skincare products go straight in the trash, rather than lingering in drawers or on the counter says Barbara Brock, organizer.

'Always have a trash can either in the vanity cabinet or nearby,' she says.
