Small Bathroom

Pick And Choose: You need to prioritize the list of essentials for your bathroom. You cannot wish to have every thing in your bathroom as it will get stuffy. Make a list of what is absolutely essential for your bathroom. For example, you cannot do with a towel stand, racks to hold the toilettes etc. But you can manage without a telephone.

You need to improvise your bathroom decor when you have less space. For example, instead of fixing a normal mirror, get a bathroom cabinet with a mirror on its door and storage space behind.
