6 ways to declutter your bathroom

Opting for a vessel sink – one that sits on top the vanity rather than integrated within – frees up space beneath for more storage. Some drawers have cutouts to accommodate plumbing too, so you can still use the space around pipework for small items.

Recessing an above-basin cabinet into the wall cavity helps use every inch of space, not only helpful in small bathrooms, but also less obtrusive in a large room.

Using the height of the room is essential in a relatively compact space. A tall towel ladder looks great, and it can fit several towels at once – just ensure they have enough room to air properly.

Using internal drawer organisers such as a cutlery tray will help corral small items such as cosmetics, spare toothbrushes and soap to keep clutter under control.

Beautiful though they are, freestanding baths are notorious for being a storage desert. A simple solution is a stool set nearby – it’s handy for bathtime items and can also be moved easily if required.

A recess is another display option, and also provides an opportunity for a decorative highlight, as in this sparkling mosaic-lined space.
