Nightstand Organization Project

Happy organization month! Being organized just makes me happy. I love to open a cabinet or a drawer and see order. It is a huge bonus if the organized area looks beautiful too! 

After packing away all of our Christmas decorations in the most organized way possible, I always feel inspired to organize a few additional spots. First on my list, my nightstand organization project. 

Since my nightstand can end up becoming a gathering place for random items, I knew I needed a better system. I think I came up with a good one and I want to share it with you today.

I am a huge fan of using clear bins for organizing. There is no better way to keep your items neat, tidy, and easily accessible. I previously had a few small bins in my nightstand, but the sizes were wrong and they were too shallow. 

For this project, I purchased The Home Edit 10 Piece Bath Edit. It is a collection of modular clear plastic containers that are perfect for drawers. The containers are incredibly versatile and priced at only $24.98 for the whole set. Yes, it is called “the bath edit set” and it would definitely work well in a bathroom, but it is ideal for your nightstand. 

I started by emptying my drawer. You really can’t properly proceed with an organization project without clearing everything out first. Of course, organizing and cleaning go hand in hand, so I wiped down the drawer while it was empty.

Next, I sorted the contents. Boy, were there a lot of things in there that shouldn’t have been! I made a few piles (bathroom things, office things, kitchen things, etc.) to put away. I then discarded the items that were no longer needed.

Next, I put the clear containers into the drawer. The set I bought is sturdy and I love the depth. FYI, they are stackable too, which is great for other uses. 

Finally, I added my nighttime necessities. 

Let’s recap…… 

1. Empty
2. Sort
3. Add clear containers
4. Fill

The set includes:

• 3 Large Insert Bins – 9.37” x 4.68” x 2.95”
• 4 Medium Insert Bins – 6.24” x 4.68” x 2.95”
• 3 Small Insert Bins – 9.37” x 4.68” x 2.95”

I filled my bins with these essentials:

• Lip balm
• Reading glasses
• Trinket dish
• Silk sleep masks
• Makeup wipes
• Pens
• Small candles
• Melatonin
• Pain relievers
• Silk hair ties
• Hair clips
• AirPods
• Phone charger

And now I don’t mind if my drawer gets left open!

Here is the set I used filled with bathroom items:
