the bathroom drawer
Learn the tricks to a serene bathroom.
✢ Need more storage? swap your pedestal basin for a vanity unit with drawers – a shallow one for make-up bits and a deeper one for spare towels. ✢ Turn your bathroom into a spa and remove those lotions and potions from overstuffed drawers to a freestanding caddy (it will look much calmer).
✢ Plastic or Perspex trays and small tubs that can sit inside drawers will keep smaller bits together. try the interDesign range from theholdingcompany.co.uk. ✢ Make the most of windowsill space, with metal baskets for facecloths and hand towels, decluttering drawers.
✢ If your cabinet is bursting with bottles, then sort! start by binning any past their use-by date, then pop any unopened ones in a Really useful box and store elsewhere
(the garage or bottom of wardrobe), and only bring in once those halfstarted ones are empty.
✢ Give each family member a drawer, tub or shelf in the cabinet and insist that anything not put back will be binned.
