The first key for being right about you bathroom decoration is choosing the right furniture, specially if your bathroom is not to wide. You can’t choose a huge sink that takes up all the space available, on the contrary you should opt for pieces of furniture that go with your bathroom’s size. Luckily, you’ll be able to find lots of options on the market among which you can find the one that better fit your bathroom.

There are many things that have to be stored in the bathroom: towels, WC paper, hair dryer, body lotions, soap, etc.

This is a great idea for keeping your objects well organised at the same time the you clearly define every part of the bathroom. It’s better than having a big drawer or cupboard for keeping everything, since you avoid that all the small stuff mix up. If you have a big drawer, you can use dividing boxes or baskets for making it more practical.

If you don’t have space enough for placing a towel rail, you can use hooks for hanging them on one side of the sink or, even better, behind the door. This will save you a lot of space and you’ll find adhesive hooks that will save you making holes on the walls too.
