Tips for creating a comfortable bathroom

Hanging furniture or shelves

The very first thing you should pay attention to is a well-thought-out storage system. And the first thing you should start with is hanging shelves. This is not only modern, but also very convenient.

You can place things on them according to this principle: the further from the eyes, the less important items we put there. You can put jars that you rarely use very high.

But this option is categorically not suitable for large families or families with children, since there will be much more items on the shelves and it will lose its aesthetic appearance. Moreover, when trying to get another bottle of shampoo, the rest of the items will probably fall.

Therefore, the best solution would be to purchase hanging closed storage systems, such as a cabinet with hinged doors or sliding-door wardrobes.

The only thing you need to consider is that all hanging structures should be located so as not to interfere with people, but so that they can be easily reached.

Mirror cabinets

Instead of a regular mirror, you can hang a cabinet with a mirrored front above the sink. This will solve several problems at once:

• get another place for storage;
• expand the space;
• fill the bathroom with light.

Zone lighting

There is no such thing as too much light, especially in the bathroom. Additional sources usually include spotlights, candles, and decorative LED lighting, which has become very popular.

Be sure to check out how to properly organize lighting in the bathroom.

By combining different types of lighting, you can make your bathroom more ergonomic. For example, bright lamps on the mirror next to the sink will make cosmetic procedures much more comfortable.

You can also install LED lighting with subdued diffused light and turn it on at night. If you have small children, then this function will definitely come in handy.

Additional storage systems for the cabinet

Small items are most conveniently stored in a cabinet with doors. And if you attach various drawers and stands to the inside of the cabinet door, you will get additional space for many small accessories.

This way they will always be “at hand”, but will not clutter the room, lying around anywhere. Organizers are sold in any hardware store and you can always find exactly what you need.

Additional storage space above the door

As a rule, everyone constantly forgets about the space above their heads. Meanwhile, you can use the free space above the door to the maximum and hang a small shelf there. This placement has many advantages:

• the design will fit perfectly into the design of the room;
• will not attract attention;
• it is very convenient to store things that you do not use very often on such a shelf.

Space under the sink

Many people still buy a sink “on “leg”, which is absolutely not ergonomic. The space under the sink should not be empty. Install the sink at a height of at least 90 cm from the floor and put a classic rectangular washing machine there. This way you will “kill two birds with one stone”.

Firstly, you will not have to bend over much when using the sink, and secondly, you will have a special place for washing.

If the area of the room does not allow you to squeeze the machine, then just install a cabinet under the sink. There is always a use for such a cabinet, as you can put all your household chemicals in it, hide rags and brushes for cleaning, or put a basket with spare towels.

If there is enough space, then make one large countertop for the sink, under which you can put both a washing machine and a small cabinet. Then you will get a small ensemble that will not only fit into the design, but will also be very functional. In addition, a cabinet or a washing machine will serve as a kind of screen, behind which the pipes will not be visible.

A special hanger for the door

This useful accessory can be used not only in the bathroom, but this is where it will come in handy the most. Since the hanger is mobile, you can always change its location, depending on where it is needed most.

It is best to place it next to the shower stall. This way, you will always have access to a towel or robe, which you will agree is very convenient.

Let’s tidy up the “army of shampoos”

Apart from everything else, the bathroom is a repository for various jars, bottles and tubes. Try to arrange these items so that they are easy to reach without leaving the warm water.

And to prevent your bathroom from turning into an “Alibaba” shop, consisting of many bottles, you need to use a small life hack. Buy several identical bottles with a dispenser and pour the gels and shampoos you use regularly into them.

Sort the rest of the products. Just throw away old, expired or long-unused products, and hide the rest in the closet. This way, you will have only the necessary items at hand, and the bathroom will look much neater.

Use the side walls of cabinets

Place towel hooks on the side walls of the cabinet or hang a vertical organizer. This useful accessory will always come in handy for storing small items.

Removing the bathtub

Recently, many people have been abandoning bathtubs in favor of shower cabins. By installing a compact shower cabin, you will make your bathroom much more convenient, because:

1. It is easier to maintain such a cabin.
2. It is convenient to clean, because it can be closed and water will not get on the floor, in addition, the plastic walls are very easy to wash.
3. Many models have the option of installing a baby bath or a basin for washing.

In addition, with a shower cabin, water consumption will be significantly reduced, and this is another plus, only this time of an economic nature.

Whichever of these tips you choose chosen, always focus primarily on your preferences, since design ideas are one thing, and the real picture is completely different. And sometimes you can sacrifice beauty in favor of functionality, and sometimes vice versa. The main condition is to observe the measure in everything and not overload your bathroom with unnecessary elements.
