Episode 683: Declutter Your Bathroom Sink Space (Even With Zero Storage!)
Tired of opening your bathroom cabinets only to find chaos staring back at you? You’re not alone. In this episode of Clutter Free Academy, Kathi teams up with decluttering expert Tonya Kubo to tackle one of the most frustrating spaces in many homes: the bathroom sink area.
Whether you’re blessed with ample storage or struggling with a pedestal sink and four family members sharing one bathroom (like Tonya!), this episode offers hope and practical solutions. You’ll discover why taking everything out might be the best first step, how to make smart decisions about duplicates and expired products, and creative storage hacks that will transform your space.
Kathi shares her game-changing discovery about medicine cabinets in unexpected places, while Tonya offers wisdom from working with Clutter Free for Life members on their bathroom transformations. From stackable organizers to tension rods for spray bottles, you’ll walk away with actionable strategies you can implement today.
Remember: the goal isn’t perfection—it’s creating systems that work for your family’s current season of life. As Tonya beautifully puts it, “Maybe not forever, but for now.”
- Decluttering the bathroom sink space: take everything out, sort, purge expired products and trash, and consolidate duplicates.
- Tips for organizing with little to no storage (pedestal sinks, small bathrooms, family sharing space).
- Advice on not over-stocking products, only keeping backups you truly use, and giving away unused items.
- Creative under-sink storage: stackable organizers, tension rods for spray bottles, removable caddies, waterproof mats, and personal touches like wallpaper lining drawers.
- Maintaining systems for your current life stage — it’s okay to experiment until you find what works for your family now.
