Storage is key to a neat and tidy home, not least in the bathroom.
Ironically, the place where you get yourself ready for the day ahead, or unwind with a pre-bed ritual before lights out can be the room that sees the most mess.
Toothbrushes left on the sink side, toiletries dotted around the bath or shower, towels piled in a corner, and nowhere for grooming kit like tweezers, cotton buds and razors to call home can mean that, more often than not, your bathroom looks like a Tasmanian devil has rampaged right through it.
The key to regaining control? A sleek, Tardis-like bathroom cabinet.
Whether its wall-mounted or freestanding on the floor, there’s a world of bathroom cabinets just waiting to bring order to your space. From closed door designs to hide various lotions and potions, to mirrored versions that double up as storage as well as undersink cupboards to keep your cleaning products where you need them, there are plenty to choose from.
We’ve rounded up some of the best ideas across various budgets to help you find the right one.
