Organize your bathroom
Avoid corner shelving units: they're dated and an open invitation to put clutter on display. Umbra's Pivo storage tray in white acrylic hides unsightlies and looks good closed. Use clear Ikea's acrylic boxes or white Lidan baskets to organize cosmetics in the medicine cabinet.
Everyone reads in the bathroom, admit it. Umbra's sleek silver Illuzine magazine rack appears to float on the wall.
Affix a wall-mounted organizer on the inside door under the sink (good for straightening irons). Instead of the expected wicker basket, get a sleek faux-leather covered box designed for home offices (Winners is good source) to store rolled towels and tissue.
