Is your lippy collection littering the window ledge? Leaning tower of toilet paper forming an unsightly centrepiece? From bath toys to bog roll, we expect our bathrooms to work incredibly hard in the storage department - but many of them fall woefully short. Without knocking through into a neighbouring room, how can we overcome the logistical problem of a bathroom sans storage?
CULL HARD
First up, declutter. Bathrooms tend to make hoarders out of the best of us, so it's time to bid those make-up samples and hotel shampoos goodbye. Sort through medicines as well - anything unwanted or expired can be taken back to your local pharmacy for responsible disposal.
Take the opportunity to assess what needs to remain in the bathroom and what can be stored elsewhere - first aid might be better in the pantry, haircare products in the bedroom if that's where you blow dry.
