My Sister Uses Wine Glasses for Bedroom Storage, So I Had to Copy Her
When I visit my sister Divya’s home, I always keep an eye out for her unconventional storage hacks. She often uses items she already has to organize her apartment, and on my last visit, I noticed that instead of traditional storage bins, she had a much smarter trick.
In her bedroom, she uses a few mismatched, short-stemmed wine glasses to store small items inside her vanity. I couldn’t believe how well it worked — and how chic it looked.
Why You Should Use Wine Glasses for Bedroom Storage
The round bowls of the wine glasses are the perfect size for grouping small, easily lost items like hair ties, beauty sponges, and lipsticks. Because the glass is transparent, she can see exactly what’s inside at a glance, and the stems keep the vessels firmly weighted so they don’t slide when a drawer shuts beneath them. If a powder breaks or a lip gloss leaks, she takes the single glass and rinses it in the sink. No need to clean the entire vanity!
To incorporate this easy storage trick, all you have to do is place one or several short-stemmed wine glasses on top of your vanity or inside a drawer, then place your items inside. Since I had an extremely messy vanity myself, I decided to put her storage hack to the test.
What Happened When I Put Wine Glasses on My Bedroom Vanity
I love my sister’s wine glass storage hack because it’s so functional and easy. This shockingly simple storage hack instantly transformed my vanity: I placed the small items in the glasses, eliminating the clutter on the top surface, and it actually looked quite luxurious. I organized my items based on how often I use them, but you could also divide the glasses by type of item, like chapsticks or hair accessories. Plus, it’s totally free if you already have some wine glasses you aren’t using. Just keep in mind that if you’re placing the glasses on top of your vanity to keep them at a safe distance from the edge so they won’t fall off.
If your bedroom storage looks anything like mine did, give my sister’s trick a try. Who knew raiding your glassware cabinet might help you find your new favorite vanity organizer?
