This month’s focus is all about Primary Suite Organization. When your bedroom, bathroom, and closet are calm and functional, the whole day tends to go smoother. We're starting with two key areas that can easily fall into chaos: bathrooms and closets. These high-use spaces can either support your routines or slow you down. A few smart organizing tools (and some realistic systems) can make all the difference.


Let’s Start with the Bathroom

The bathroom is one of the smallest spaces in the house, but it holds a surprising amount of stuff. Daily routines require easy access to skincare, makeup, hair tools, cleaning products, and more. That’s why we love using clear storage products. They help you see what you have, which cuts down on overbuying and digging around in drawers.

Our top picks for bathroom organization:

  • Small clear drawer bins for inside vanity drawers. Perfect for hair ties, nail clippers, flossers, and makeup.

  • Clear stackable drawers for under the sink. These work well for taller bottles, backup supplies, or anything you don’t use daily.

  • Clear lazy susan that sits neatly on top of the drawer unit. Great for skincare or cleaning sprays you reach for often.

Add some simple categories and a habit of tossing expired or unused items every few months, and your bathroom becomes a space that’s easier to use (and easier to clean).


Now the Closet

Your primary closet sees daily traffic, but it’s also a spot that can get overlooked. When it’s organized, your mornings run smoother, your clothes last longer, and getting dressed is less stressful.

Here are a few favorites we use in client closets:

  • Jewelry organizer to keep necklaces untangled and earrings easy to grab.

  • Clear shoe boxes. These stack neatly and let you see everything without having to dig.

  • Clear shelf dividers. These help separate sweaters, bags, pants, or anything else you want to store upright without piles tipping over.

We also recommend grouping your clothes by type and color. It may sound small, but it makes a big impact when you’re picking out outfits.
