Posted on 19th March 2021

Lotions and potions, shampoos and conditioners, sprays, wipes, pastes – I’m not sure we could fit many more bottles or tubes into our bathroom cabinet and it’s all essential (right?!) It’s rare to have the luxury of lots of room for cupboards and storage units, so great planning and clever ideas are essential to maximise your space.
