- hooks;
- dowels with self-tapping screws;
- twine.
If the hooks are metal with holes, then first drill holes in the wall, insert dowels into them, screw in the screws. If the hooks are without holes, for example plastic ones, then glue them. Tie a rope on the 2 extreme hooks, pass it through the central hook and you can hang towels, admire the order in the bath.
There are hooks on sale that screw into a hard surface, this idea for storing towels will certainly come in handy. Screw them into the wooden plank and you can hang textiles so that they are always at hand.
If you have a finished board, stick it to the wall. Glass jars will come in handy. Wash them, remove labels. Put on metal clamps, which must first be attached to the board with self-tapping screws on one side.
Here you can store glasses, cotton pads, cotton swabs, cosmetic brushes and other little things that will never get lost.
If you have small metal baskets, they will also create a convenient storage section. They can be put one on top of the other, if this is not provided, then each is attached to the wall. Roll up the towel, tie the tissue napkins with tape, put the toilet paper in another basket. This is the order in the bath you will achieve.
If the two-story vase for storing fruit is already fed up with the order, let it play a different role. On the lower tier, you will put glass jars in which you will place cotton wool, discs, sticks. Above there is a place for microfiber cloths, with which cleaning will be quick and easy.
To keep the storeroom soap and sea salt bath also available, place these hygiene products in glass jars with metal lids. It is good to store sponges in the same container, but first they must be thoroughly dried.
To keep the glass jars free of streaks, wash them with water and dish detergent. Wipe metal covers with a cloth to a shine.

Even plant pots will help you clean up your bathtub. Pre-paint them in a color that will be in harmony with the tone of the room. You can attach a stencil here to apply an intricate pattern or simple flowers.
For the following storage idea, prepare:
- small, clean, dry glass jars;
- screw caps for them;
- handles for pot lids;
- drill with a thin drill.
If the household does not have a drill with a thin drill, then make a hole in the center of each cover, attaching a nail here, knocking on it with a hammer.
In the resulting holes, you need to thread a pin from the handle for the cover, fix it at the bottom with a bolt, screwing it on. Put various small hygiene items in these containers, close the lids and admire the order. Now cotton swabs will not fly in all directions, cotton pads will not have to look, everything that is in glass jars is clearly visible.
