6 Simple Ways to Level-Up Your Bathroom in 2021
Have you ever been to someone else’s home before and tried using their bathroom? This is quite a curious question because whenever we use other people’s bathrooms, we usually marvel at how clean, comfortable, and organized they are. The big question is, how mindful are you at keeping your bathroom neat and stylish? Any bathroom should be a haven that gives more comfort than stress. So, stick around as we show how you can level up your bathroom in six simple yet effective ways. Let’s start!
1. Optimize Your Space
Some bathrooms can be huge but if you live in a condo or apartment, chances are, your bathroom may not be all-too spacious. Even if you enjoy the luxury of having a big bathroom space, it can still seem a bit cramped if your toiletries and bathroom essentials are not organized properly. They can be placed somewhere near or under the sink; however, such corners can sometimes get a little crowded or a bit hard to reach.
Thankfully, there are elegant pieces of over toilet storage furniture that can help optimize your bathroom space. They are made in simple, sturdy, and color-neutral designs that are perfect for holding your frequently-used toiletries, bathroom essentials, and even house plants! They are a huge life-saver that is excellent at maximizing the space for any bathroom.
2. Choose New Lighting
Lighting one thing that is sometimes neglected when revamping bathrooms. Just as in any room of the house, lighting plays a vital role in setting the aura that you want to achieve. Bright fluorescent lights are the default choice for some people, but if you want to try something new, consider replacing or adding light bulbs that give off a warm candlelight color. Warm light helps bring out the natural colors of your skin tone and surroundings compared to harsh bright light that tends to give the opposite effect. What’s fun about this is you can be creative and choose from a variety of bulb shapes and sizes to style-up your bathroom.
3. Spruce Up the Walls
No budget for a renovation? No problem! One trendy way to spruce up your walls is to apply bathroom tile stickers. It is a practical alternative to score a refreshing look for your bathroom because it is cheap, easy to install, and–thanks to its safe adhesives–it is easy to remove. Don’t worry about them being “stickers” because these stickers are made to be waterproof. This option is perfect for those renting an apartment who want to up their bathroom game without leaving any marks or signs of damage to their original bathroom walls.
4. Declutter Your Stash
Sometimes, there is just no better way to tidy your bathroom than to declutter your stash. Don’t make room for bathroom products and toiletries that you do not use very often. These also include cleaning products and items like mops, detergent, toilet brushes, and other stuff that merely add bulk to your bathroom space. Since you presumably don’t use them every day, you can simply put them away in a storage room or your garage.
5. Try Effective Smell Hacks
Here are cool and fun ways that you can try to keep your bathroom always smelling amazingly fresh.
Used coffee grounds
Love coffee? Instead of throwing out those used coffee grounds, discard them in your trashcan to deodorize the bin and leave a nice coffee scent in your bathroom.
Scented trash bags
Next time you go grocery shopping, go for scented trash bags instead of the regular ones to keep those noxious odors away!
Cotton balls graced with essentials oils
Spray or leave a few drops of your favorite essential oils onto some cotton balls and place them in a decorative jar or bowl. This will keep your bathroom smelling fresh all day or even all week.
Scented candles
This is the classic choice for long showers and bubble baths after a tiring day.
Humidifiers/diffusers
Humidifiers are usually bigger because they also hold water to maintain room humidity, but they function much like diffusers. Both are great for misting your bathroom with your favorite scents and essential oil flavors.
6. Bring in some Bluetooth
Bluetooth nowadays is enjoyed in a lot of smart home devices. Some of these devices include smart lights, bathroom speakers, or the standard Bluetooth wall plug which you can dedicate to your diffuser or humidifier. These devices can also be controlled over WiFi. That means while you’re still on the way home, you can prepare the bathroom by controlling the music and lighting, and by activating your humidifier. A relaxing bath would then be ready just in time for your arrival.
The Bottom Line
Today, recreating your bathroom no longer requires an expensive renovation. All it takes is a little creativity, imagination, and knowing where to find the perfect items and furniture to level up your bathroom experience.
