" Three quick add-ons to max out a small space Get bottles off the sides of the tub with a toiletries organizer. Oxo&amp;#039;s Bathtub Corner Shelf ($6, oxo.com) is a plastic triangle that suctions to a bathtub&amp;#039;s corner (and can go right in the dishwasher). Hang towels where you need them with stylish metal-look adhesive hooks, like the Command line by 3M (from about $6). Expand elbow room: Install a curved shower-curtain rod. A double-rod style like Polder&amp;#039;s ($45 and $50, polder.com) lets you dry towels or hand-washables out of sight. Little changes, big impact Swap out the toilet seat. Having a pristine seat in place is just...nice (and inexpensive, too \u2014 as little as $15). Unbolt the old one from the rear of the bowl and attach a new one; some have nuts that can be tightened with your fingers. Replace your showerhead. WaterSense-labeled ones, as in the multi-spray Moen Nurture line ($29 to $39, lowes.com), could save your home 2,300 gallons of water a year. To replace: unscrew the old showerhead (you may need pliers or a pipe wrench), remove the plumber&amp;#039;s tape, apply new tape (available at hardware stores) to the threads, and twist on the new showerhead. Done! Re-caulk the tub or sink. Discolored caulk makes a bathroom look dirty even when it&amp;#039;s not. Remove the old caulk with a scraper (with any luck, it&amp;#039;ll peel right off), then wash and dry surfaces. Mind your &amp;quot;45s&amp;quot;: Snip the tube&amp;#039;s tip at a 45-degree angle, then apply to seams at a 45-degree angle. GE Silicone II Kitchen and Bath caulk ($6, caulk yourhome.com) sets in three hours and has a five-year no-mold guarantee. Ambitious, but still easy Put down a new floor. It&amp;#039;s easier than you&amp;#039;d think. Armstrong self-adhesive vinyl floor tiles (starting at $1 a square foot, armstrong.com) can be cut to fit with a utility knife. Peel off the backing and stick right atop the existing floor (linoleum, tiles, etc.). Tip: A faux-stone pattern like granite is almost foolproof \u2014 geometric styles can be tricky to align. Dress up the mirror. Add a frame from MirrorMate ($135 to $235, mirrormate.com). Unlike others, these are precut and have adhesive backing so they&amp;#039;ll stick around your existing mirror. Or, if you have a medicine cabinet, consider replacing it. Robern makes handsome cabinets that are mirrored inside and out ($190 to $468, robern.com). Not a handy-woman? Leave the tools in the box and try one of these chic, simple trade-ups: \u2022 A NEW SHOWER CURTAIN The vivid stripes of Kate Spade&amp;#039;s latest ($40, Bed Bath &amp;amp;amp; Beyond) add a splash of color to a neutral space. Not so bold? The graphic-yet-subtle patterns of West Elm&amp;#039;s spring styles ($40 each, West Elm) are eye-catching, but not overwhelming. \u2022 LUXE TOWELS Who doesn&amp;#039;t love to cuddle up in a fresh set? Pottery Barn&amp;#039;s plush Hydro Cotton ($6 to $19, Pottery Barn) shrank little in GHRI tests and can be monogrammed. Swank! \u2022 A FRESH BATH MAT For secure footing \u2014 and a spa-like look \u2014 splurge on a wooden mat, like a teak one ($69, VivaTerra). Prefer a softer style? Pick a cotton mat (it&amp;#039;ll be superabsorbent) that&amp;#039;s machine-washable and reversible so you can clean it less often. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
