• Add a vintage look to your bathroom by bringing in an old, unused night stand. Paint the stand in funky colours and use it to store towels, hair tools and toiletries. You can also keep your mp3 player handy and listen to soft music while soaking in the tub.

• Collect rustic fruit baskets, string them together vertically and place all your bath accessories in them. The string can be suspended from a hook near your shower. This will help you save on space and add a unique look.

• Old, mismatched plastic and ceramic containers from your kitchen can occupy the hanging slabs in your bathroom and be used to store cotton balls, ear buds, bath salts and nail cutters/filers.
