The bathroom is a necessity of life as much as being a refuge. We will teach you how to make it a room that is both functional and pleasing. The bathroom, like the kitchen calls for well-organized storage compartments and shelves to accommodate things both large and small. And while you could store such items as cleaning tools and supplies, the hairdryer, as well as the extra bars of soap, it is handy to have everything you need in the bathroom at your fingertips. But remember to never store electrical appliances such as a hair dryer or shaver near the sink, shower or bathtub. Bear in mind that the humidity and moisture in a bathroom limit what you can safely keep there. For example, it may not be the place to put extra or guest towels unless you are expecting company.

Nearly every bath has a medicine cabinet over the sink. This shallow compartment is misnamed for it is the last place you should store medications because the humidity can harm the contents. A better spot for medicines is high in the linen closet which is a dark, dry, cool place that is out of reach of children. The medicine cabinet is traditionally a place where out-of-date sundries such as cough medicines and eyedrops are kept. Make it a policy to inventory these shelves every month or so and throw out old bottles and jars. You will find the extra space you have created is very useful for the new sundries that you have collected.
