    • Install a wide built-in niche with shelves in the shower to store large shampoo and body wash containers, soap and other essentials. This built-in niche will also shield these items from excessive water. Accent the niche with complementing, yet different tiles.
    • Take advantage of every nook and cranny in your undersink cabinet with curved storage options and stackable bins that hold bathroom essentials from toilet paper to blowdryers and extra loofahs.
    • Consider a stock cabinet from a store like Restoration Hardware or Pottery Barn which provides optimal storage for washcloths, cotton balls, bath salts and other accessories for you or your guests.
