Build out a wall. If you don’t have the option of recessed shelves, or if you want a larger shelf, you could have your installer construct a low false wall, in which the top surface serves as a ledge. The one here is at the perfect height for easy access, and the white tiles allow it to blend into the wall behind.
Completing your tool drawer with a built-in power source will keep cords from cluttering your look. These are most easily added during initial construction and installation of the vanity, but sometimes they can be added retroactively by opening the wall behind the drawer or rerouting power from a nearby outlet, depending on your electrical layout and the accessibility of your vanity interior.
Tool slots. This is another option that requires a custom installation but can be a DIY project if you’re handy. By creating a space specifically designed to hold a commonly used tool like a blowdryer, you can keep it upright and ready to grab, adding a little convenience to your daily routine. You can achieve this by adding a fitted box with a hole in the top to fit the nozzle, with or without a removable cup to catch debris.
To truly maximize the use of small compartments and dividers, consider taking your small products out of the packaging so you can pack them in much more tightly. Individually wrapped items — Q-tips and the like — will take up much less space unboxed. This may seem like extra work, but the boxes will have to be disposed of at some point anyway, so you might as well go ahead and have the products out where they’re easy to grab and you’ll enjoy the extra space.
Reconfigurable bins. For a similar result at a lower price, use individual plastic mini-bins to break up your drawer into compartments. Unless you find a set of bins perfectly sized for your drawer, there likely will be slivers of wasted space, but it can be more than worth it to have a specific place for everything. You’ll avoid losing items and know exactly where to find anything you need during a busy morning.
Semi-adjustable compartments. Either a new or existing drawer can be fitted with a semi-fixed divider system like this one, which will stay rigidly in place during daily use but can be adjusted to hold different products over time as needed. A built-in system like this will create the most elegant look, but you can find similar systems from various companies that use springs or adjustable parts to fit to your drawer interior tightly.
Vertical pull outs. It’s quite common in small to average-size baths to have slivers of space on either side of the sink. Rather than breaking this area into many small drawers, consider using a vertical pullout like this one that has a single compartment broken into many interior shelves. This works on the same principle as a kitchen spice rack, presenting all your small products in a way that’s easy to browse
Double drawers. Not all bathroom products can fit in slim little 5-inch drawers. But sometimes a super-deep drawer won’t fit with your look, especially in more traditional styles with many drawers and somewhat ornate drawer fronts. In these situations, consider having a double-depth drawer fitted with two smaller fronts to blend in better, with an extra handle or knob on the second drawer front to complete the illusion.
Thin drawers. Thin drawers (around 5 inches) are also helpful for working around a sink. They also have the advantage of holding small items like makeup and razors without any of them sinking to the bottom and getting lost in the mix. Again, using many thin drawers will cost more than a few larger drawers, but the trade-off in added organization can be well worth the investment.

Feature wall. Most of the previous solutions are optimal in bathrooms lacking in wall space. If you do have a free surface, you could easily incorporate your towel racks as part of a feature wall. Here, a wood-paneled alcove features five towel bars that the bather can easily reach from the tub
Towel hanger with a shower enclosure ? Barring a door mount, a tiled half wall may be the next best thing. You’ll barely have to open the door to access your towel.
