5 You can never have too many towel bars. Install at least one on the back of the door; consider doubling them up and draping the top row of towels decoratively over the lower one. Or use towel rings; place one on either side of a pedestal sink, and another just outside the shower.
6 Many bath stores offer a host of specially designed trays and organizers, in a range of styles. One popular type is a toilet tray, which fits on the back of the toilet and can be used to store tissues or breakable items without fear of them falling off.
7 Wicker baskets and trays are great for organizing small items on counters, another idea borrowed from hotels. Use them for everything from rolled-up washcloths to small soaps or toiletries, or even potpourri. Store toilet tissue in a larger basket on the floor.
8 Shower caddies can be pressed into use elsewhere in the bathroom. Screw a pair of matching ones on the wall on either side of the medicine cabinet, or place them on the insides of vanity doors.
9 Corner cupboards, if you have the room, are a useful alternative to regular shelves, and if you find an antique one, a beautiful option as well.
10 If your bathroom is truly miniscule, rethink what needs and does not need to be kept in there. Put a laundry hamper in each family member's bedroom; create a linen closet, perhaps in an armoire, outside the bathroom. And do you really need all those half-empty bottles of shampoo, cosmetic potions and beauty jars?
