So, for example, soap trays, supports for toothbrushes, holders have to be suitable for toilet paper and the brush to each other. It is better to buy them by uniform set.
- Blinds for the bathroom, textiles (dressing gowns and towels) and other trifles in the form of sponges and basts have to be combined with each other. Otherwise you risk to spoil interior, having deprived of it presentableness. As a result the typical Soviet bathroom in which lies will turn out and everything that managed to be got hardly in the conditions of deficiency hangs.
