The cupboard under your sink and sink is an ideal place to store everyday items, cleaning supplies and much more. To make the most of this space, consider adding a few simple additions and smart containers that will add organization and convenience. Use these under sink and sink storage ideas to optimize your bathroom and kitchen. We'll tell you below how you can organize your cupboard under the sink!
Take out everything – cleaning supplies, bottles, sponges, etc.
Since you'll be taking everything out of the base cabinet, you'll want to make sure the countertop and floor around the sink or sink are clear so you can sort everything.
This is the moment when you take it all out and look at it in the light of day. Go through any cleaning supplies, sponges, and scrub brushes that have accumulated behind locked drawers. Throw away anything that is old, broken, or simply shouldn't be stored there.
Measure and arrange your closet
Use a tape measure to measure the width, depth and height of the space under the sink. Don't forget to measure the actual opening of your closet door.
Organize the cabinet under the sink: Remove packaging
Remove as much packaging as possible to save space and make everything more uniform. For example, you can put some dishwasher tabs in a transparent container under the sink, the remaining tabs can stay in the large packaging in the basement. Simply remove all packaging from sponges and other cleaning products so they are ready to use.
Organize easily with baskets
Drawers and baskets offer more potential for organization than open cupboards. Attach storage units to accommodate the itemsthe sinkcan separate. For example, on one side of this cabinet, two drawers can store excess toilet paper, extra soap, and shaving products. Stacked mesh baskets on the other side sort cleaning supplies.
Use cupboard doors creatively
If your closet just isn't big enough to fit everything, use the closet doors! Utilize every inch of space under your sink with additional sink area elements.

Make the most of the upper half of the cabinet. Stacked storage fills the space under the sink, allowing some items to fit underneath and others to fit above. Tightly sealed plastic containers prevent sponges from drying out, while airtight containers protect dish soap from moisture.

Consider how you can use the organization systems designed for other areas for under-the-sink storage. These refrigerator wine containers, for example, are just the right size for trash bag rolls. Stackable design maximizes space and accessibility.
Organize Cabinet Under the Sink: Add Lighting
In low light conditions, it can be difficult to find items in a base cabinet, adding to the clutter. In small or dimly lit closets, we recommend installing inexpensive motion sensor lighting for better visibility. Self-adhesive LED motion detectors are available in battery-operated and rechargeable versions. Lighting this area may feel frivolous at first, but when your favorite bottle of hand soap goes missing, you'll be thankful.
