This Chic 2-in-1 Organizer Instantly Decluttered My Bathroom Counter (It Has an Ingenious Feature!)

As an Apartment Therapy editor, one of my favorite perks of the job is learning about the many different methods and products that cleverly help to keep your space organized. Over the years I’ve lived in homes of varying sizes, from a single-bedroom apartment to a three-bedroom house in the suburbs. One thing they’ve all had in common is a need for smart and space-saving storage solutions. For me, an organizer doesn’t necessarily have to be little to be small-space-friendly. If it can perform more than one function, that also does the trick (think: storage ottomans, lift-top coffee tables, and bed frames with built-in drawers). However, dual-purpose storage goes beyond furniture.

Countertop organizers can get creative, too. When I had the chance to try out Umbra’s Moona Storage Box for AT’s Best List for editor-tested makeup organizers, I couldn’t let the opportunity go by. And I got so much more out of it than I expected.

Putting a unique spin on the rotating organizer, the Moona Storage Box is a dual-purpose storage solution for countertops, vanities, dressers, and tables. Measuring 10.75” x 6” x 7.25″, the roomy find is made up of three large drawers housed in a wooden outer shell that’s shaped like a semi-circle. On top, there’s a spacious display tray, and underneath the drawers are conspicuously set on a rod that allows them to rotate 360 degrees. When closed, the drawers give the organizer a sleek and stylish appearance with all of your belongings smartly hidden inside. The upper tray can be used for accessories, toiletries, and smaller decor, such as plants, pictures, or collectibles. Available in two colors that match other Umbra organizers, the Moona Storage Box can be used for jewelry, makeup, and a variety of accessories. Each box varies in its wood-grain variation, making it a modern and one-of-a-kind storage piece.

When I first caught a glimpse of the Moona Storage Box online, I was immediately intrigued. Rotating organizers are some of my favorites because they’re convenient, conserve space, and can hold a lot if you’re mindful about what you’re storing in them. However, when this organizer was delivered to my house (fully assembled, might I add), I fell in love with it right away. I like its clean look and how the tray puts all of my perfume on display for easy access. In fact, before ultimately deciding to put my fragrances on top of it, I considered placing small succulents there or the scented diffuser I keep in my bathroom. And who knows? Maybe someday I will — but I simply enjoy having the choice. It seems like no matter what you put on top of the Moona Storage Box, it automatically looks like a showroom piece. It’s just that stylish!

The functionality of the drawers is an ingenious detail in this organizer’s design. Rather than create a container that turns completely, only the drawers spin. So I never have to worry about the organizer being turned the “wrong way” or looking out of place — because as long as the drawers are closed, it always looks the same. All of my cosmetics are tucked inside, and even if they’re cluttered in a drawer (fortunately, they aren’t), you’d never be able to tell just by looking at it. I love that the Moona Storage Box maintains its chic and tidy appearance through and through. Umbra consistently impresses me with forward-thinking storage solutions that combine function and style, and this organizer is another offering from the brand that knocks it out of the park.
