Turn your bathroom into the sanctuary you deserve with these storage tips from Sir Terence Conran, author of ‘Storage – Get Organized’. He shares expert ideas on how best to hang, shelve, stack and store your bathroom contents.
Bathroom storage specifics –
1. Bathrooms are not necessarily the best place to keep all your bath towels and linen, as conditions may be damp and steamy. If the bathroom is small, you are unlikely to have sufficient room in any case. Try to keep the bulk of your towels elsewhere, in an airing or warm linen cupboard; alternatively, store them away from wet areas within the bathroom itself.
2. Wall cabinets that combine storage space with a mirrored surface and integral lighting make a good use of available space.
3. Keep toothbrushes by the sink, suspended in a wall–mounted toothbrush holder or similar, so that they can drain after use. Standing toothbrushes upright in containers, such as mugs or glasses, is unhygienic and will result in a foul sludge collecting at the bottom.
