How to Curate the Perfect Bathroom Shelf

It’s the space you use first thing after waking up and right before bed. Here’s the expert Liberty guide to creating a beautiful (and functional) bathroom shelf.

Storage and Style

Finding the balance between a beautifully stocked bathroom shelf and a messy one is key. If you’re not an organised person by nature, there’s nothing worse than an open shelf because you’ll get overwhelmed by it and the mess will drive you mad. But if you’re the type of person who will dust it down every week, you can incorporate decorative displays and keep your skincare routine on there. Small vases can play a great role here, whether you use for added storage or to simply to hold candles at bathtime, Anna & Nina’s Shell of Secrets Glass Candle Holder is dainty enough to sit atop a glass shelf.
