Optimum drawer organisation: our bathroom furniture from the inside
Find out how our bathroom furniture keeps things tidy with well thought-out drawer organisation. Practical tips and inspiration for a perfectly organised bathroom.
Where care products, towels and toiletries need to be organised, order is essential. Well thought-out drawer organisation in the bathroom is therefore particularly important. It ensures clarity and contributes to a feel-good atmosphere. Our bathroom furniture offers smart storage solutions: Whether it’s a drawer organiser, vanity unit or sideboard – we’ll tell you how they provide more structure in the bathroom.
The importance of drawer organisation in the bathroom

Cluttered drawers in which products are jumbled up create chaos and make everyday use more difficult. A cleverly organised drawer provides a remedy – and guarantees that all important utensils are within easy reach at all times.
Our expert tip: drawer organisers. Thanks to various compartments and inserts, they make it easier to organise small and large items. Equally practical are pieces of furniture such as a cabinet with drawers or a sideboard with several drawers. Because while everything is neatly stowed away, the outside remains organised.
Vanity unit with drawers: The hero of the bathroom

A vanity unit with drawers is a real storage space hero, especially in small bathrooms. With its integrated drawers, it offers sufficient space for cleaning, care or hygiene products and creates a stylish, tidy atmosphere.
How do I choose the right vanity unit with drawers?
Considering the following questions can help you find the perfect vanity unit with drawers for your bathroom:
How big is the room?
- How much space is available underneath the washbasin? For smaller bathrooms, compact cabinets with two drawers offer a practical solution.
- What material should the desired vanity unit be made of? Water-resistant surfaces are suitable for humid bathroom environments.
- Which drawer system do you want? Some vanity unit drawers feature a convenient soft-close function, for example.
Examples for small and large rooms
Narrow vanity units with deep drawers and space for the essentials are the top choice for small bathrooms. Larger rooms, on the other hand, can accommodate wider models with more drawers.
Drawer organisation in the vanity unit
A drawer organiser optimally divides the compartments in the vanity unit and makes it possible to store small items (e.g. cotton buds or tubes of cream). Larger items such as towels can be stored in deeper compartments.
Drawer organiser: order made easy

Drawer organisers are a useful tool for keeping things tidy. There are different types that help to organise everyday items such as cosmetics, dental care products or hair accessories.
- Flexible dividers: Ideal for dividing large drawers into compartments.
- Baskets and boxes: Perfect for small items that would otherwise roll around loose in the drawer.
- Multi-tier inserts: Practical for optimising the use of available storage space.
What’s the best way to organise drawers in the bathroom?
The be-all and end-all of organisation is a clever system. It is advisable to start by categorising the various items to be stored (cosmetics, hair care, hygiene products, etc.). In the next step, drawer organisers allow you to separate these categories.
Examples of storage for cosmetics, dental care products and hair accessories
- Cosmetics: Lipsticks and lip shadows can be sorted in flat boxes; make-up brushes in narrow, elongated compartments.
- Dental care: Toothpaste, floss and brushes should be kept in separate compartments to ensure hygiene.
- Hair accessories: Hair clips, elastics and brushes are perfectly stored in small boxes or baskets.
Creative tips for using drawer organisers throughout the home
Drawer organisers are not only useful in the bathroom – so here are tips for using them throughout the house.
- Living room: Organisers in the sideboard with drawers allow you to store remote controls, cables or small items.
- Bedroom: Jewellery, charging cables or books can be stored in the bedside cabinet with the help of boxes or dividers.
- Kitchen: Cutlery, spices and other kitchen utensils are neatly organised with the help of organisers.
Bathroom furniture with drawers: Functionality and style combined

Modern bathroom furniture with drawers is proof that functionality and stylish design can go hand in hand. Thanks to their clean look, they are the perfect eye-catcher in modern bathrooms. They also create order with plenty of storage space.
How do I combine different pieces of furniture?
Die geschickte Kombination verschiedener Möbelstücke mit Schubladen kreiert einen harmonischen Look im Badezimmer. Ein Waschbeckenunterschrank mit Schubladen kann ideal mit einem Sideboard oder Schrank mit Schubladen verbunden werden, um zusätzlichen Stauraum zu schaffen.
- Furniture with similar shapes and proportions creates a harmonious overall look.
- Materials and colours should match. A wooden vanity unit, for example, is the perfect match for a sideboard made of the same material.
- Furniture should be adapted to the size of the room. Compact furniture works well in smaller bathrooms, while larger rooms can be more voluminous.
Materials and colours for bathroom furniture
Depending on the bathroom style, bathroom furniture can be integrated in a wide variety of materials and colours. Wood makes the room appear warm and natural. Easy-care plastic, on the other hand, is particularly hard-wearing. Accents such as chrome or stainless steel handles and elements enhance the look. We also show you which bathrooms will be bang on trend in 2025 in this article.
The colour scheme of the bathroom is a matter of taste. However, the following guidelines can provide orientation:
- Light shades such as white, beige or light grey create a timeless elegance.
- Darker colours such as anthracite or deep green create a luxurious ambience.
Sideboards and cabinets with drawers: More storage space for your bathroom

A sideboard with drawers is the perfect addition, especially in bathrooms where lots of things need to be stored. Everything can be systematically stored in it so that important items are always to hand.
A sideboard offers various advantages in the bathroom:
- Sufficient storage space for towels, cleaning products or toiletries thanks to a combination of drawers and shelves.
- Flexible application options in small and large rooms.
If you also want to make the most of small, unused corners in the bathroom, a cabinet with drawers is a good choice. It also offers enough space for a wide variety of items. Thanks to their sleek and modern design, many models blend seamlessly into a wide variety of bathroom styles. Some cabinets also stand out thanks to their height – ideal for rooms with limited floor space.
The optimum drawer arrangement
To make the best possible use of the available storage space, the arrangement of the drawers is crucial. Here are a few tips:
- Upper drawers are suitable for smaller items that are frequently used in everyday life, such as dental care products or cosmetics.
- Medium drawers have space for medium-sized products such as hairdryers, hairbrushes or larger toiletries.
Bottom drawers are the perfect choice for bulky items such as towels or cleaning products.
Care and maintenance of bathroom furniture with drawers

If bathroom furniture with drawers is to remain in good condition, proper care is crucial. This is because wear and tear damage can occur quickly, especially when the humidity is high.
We have collected some care tips for you:
- Drawers and drawer organisers: Clean out regularly and wipe out with a gentle cleaning agent.
- Surfaces: Depending on the material, special cleaners (e.g. for wood or metal) or an all-purpose cleaner and slightly damp cloth (e.g. for plastic) are sufficient.
Regular ventilation, drying of standing water residues and closed drawers also help to prevent moisture damage.
Tips for buying bathroom furniture with drawers

There are factors that you should keep in mind when buying bathroom furniture with drawers:
- Size: Measure the space available and make sure you don’t clutter the room.
- Number of drawers: Small bathrooms benefit from compact models with two to three drawers, while larger ones can handle more storage space.
