Organizing Your Bathroom with Baskets
Baskets provide storage, and are an easy, inexpensive way to add eye appeal to any room, especially the bathroom. This article discusses how one woman used baskets to organize her busy bathroom. The top shelf contains a medium-sized basket with rolled-up washcloths standing up in it. A small basket next to it contains my foot scrub and lotion and cuticle cream. The second shelf has folded towels stacked on one side and a basket next to it with several kinds of lotions. The bottom shelf has a large basket with several rolls of toilet paper (in easy reach). If you have room, a large basket on the floor is a great place to store all of your bathroom reading material.

All About Bathroom Lighting
Like the rest of the house, the bathroom reflects consumer's changing lifestyles. More spacious and multifunctional, these once utilitarian water closets have become glamour havens—private retreats designed for relaxation, escape and self-indulgence. Whether built new or recently remodeled, today's more complex bathrooms demand intricate lighting solutions. Task lighting must be bright enough to do its job, but work well with indirect accent lighting designed to soften the room's ambience by providing a warm glow. Lighting fixtures and finishes must complement, rather than compete with plumbing accessories, tile, paint and wallpaper. Currently, nickel owns the top spot in bathroom finishes, followed closely by chrome and brass. New technology has added options as well. Fiber optics, with its remote light source, can create twinkling star effects when inset into bathroom ceilings. Halogen bulbs with their variety of sizes allow manufacturers to design more ornate light fixtures. Unusual light sources like wall sconces, skylights, and lamps perched on a table, vanity or bathroom island provide an unexpected touch. Shower lights brighten up enclosed stalls. Reading lamps by the toilet provide more focused light. Single sconces on either side of the mirror remain popular.
