    Arrange lotions and perfumes in an aesthetic yet functional way. Arrange perfumes and lotions artfully together on decorative mirrors and trays in places where you start your day or get ready to go out, like on a dresser or bathroom counter. Then, keep backup stock and less visually appealing options tucked away out of sight in drawers or a medicine cabinet.
