If you dare to close your eyes, you might just be able to convince yourself, if only for a split second, that the plants that line the shower, the soft towels, and the candles that are lining the edge of the bath are all yours. That the warm and inviting bathrooms that you have been looking at on Pinterest for the past several minutes are actually yours. The following are some easy methods by that you can step up your game in the bathroom.
Invest in towels that are both stylish and comfortable.
One of the best things I’ve ever done for myself was to purchase some towels that were not only plush but also highly absorbent and aesthetically pleasing. Whether you’ve just gotten out of the shower or the tub, having a cozy place to curl up in makes the entire process more enjoyable.
Determine the best shelving arrangement for your space.
There is no need to be concerned about the limited space in your bathroom because you have many different choices. I always buy an over-the-toilet storage system (like the ones seen in the photos on the top right and the photograph on the bottom right), but other options are just as effective if you have room for them.
Raise your curtain.
Cloth shower curtains provide a touch of refinement and glitz to any bathroom. In a tiny area, take advantage of this by hanging an extra-tall curtain close to the ceiling. The cloth tumbling from ceiling to floor will lengthen the walls and add elegance to the space.
Experiment with various towel and washcloth display possibilities.
I honestly don’t know where you’d put your towels and washcloths otherwise. Plus, if they’re cute, why not show them off? Fold, roll, or stack them on a shelf. You simply can’t go wrong—and you’ll be grateful for the towel and washcloth accessibility later.
Turn little pieces of furniture into end tables to repurpose them.
If you have a small piece of furniture that you don’t know what to do with, try using it as an end table next to your bathtub. (Alternatively, go a step further and purchase a tiny piece of furniture for this purpose.) There, you can use it to store anything you want near you when taking a bath, such as candles, books, wine, washcloths, plants, and anything else that would fit.
Find a mirror that you can’t take your eyes off of.
If you’re tired of looking in the mirror that came with your bathroom, you might want to think about changing it with one that better suits your needs. It’s never a bad idea to have a mirror that also has built-in storage space, but it’s an even better idea to have a mirror that’s adorable and goes with the vibe of your bathroom.
Plants should be placed wherever possible.
I’m obsessed with plants, and I wish my bathroom had enough natural light to be transformed into a mini-garden. Consider placing plants in your window sills, along the edges of your tub, and on virtually whatever flat surface you can find if you’re one of the lucky ones who has hella bathroom windows. You may even hang a couple in the corner of your shower—just make sure they’re not too close to your head.
Lighten the mood.
Neutral colors are a classic way to instantly brighten up a bathroom. A light oak vanity stands out against the gleaming white walls, while cane trimming on the cabinet’s face adds interest.
Make sure you have something (or a few things) to keep your bathroom smelling nice.
Let’s face it: restrooms may smell in a variety of ways. Grab an oil diffuser, some incense, or some Poo-Pourri created exclusively for the bathroom to keep yours aromatic in the best way possible.
Toss old towels into a basket.
Hampers are a fundamental need, but that does not mean they have to have an industrial look. These aren’t just pretty things to look at, but they’re also practical ways to get rid of dirty towels.
Display art on your walls, on your shelves, and in your windows.
Do you have a wall that is completely empty? Put on display some works of art. One of my close friends, Caroline, recently said to me that she had improved the overall appearance of her bathroom by hanging some of her most treasured paintings and illustrations. There is also the possibility of using typography, drawings, and photographs.
Aside from our bedroom, the bathroom serves as our privacy and we all know that staying there somehow gives us the comfort that we need. Levelling it up, like other parts of our home, won’t hurt and it can actually be worth your while. Try the few hacks and tips mentioned above to level up your bathroom gaming. The possibility is limitless. Who knows? You can even put a television inside your bathroom and just stay there for the whole day.
