Some Important Elements every Modern (and Comfortable) Bathroom should Have
Whether your bathroom is old or new or large or small, there are some things a modern and comfortable bathroom simply can?t go without. We?re not talking about the basics here ? of course a bathroom needs a toilet, a sink, a bath, or a shower. We?re talking about some simple elements that are often neglected or simply forgotten, but which can make a big difference in the comfort of your life and the guests that'sometimes arrive. Here is a small list of important elements every modern (and comfortable) bathroom should have.
Clean storage space
Regardless of the size of your bathroom, you?ll want to create space ? and this is even truer when your bathroom is on the smaller side. Finding creative ways to store all the bathroom necessities ? if possible out of sight ? goes a long way to making your bathroom look cleaner, and therefore more open. Use the vertical space to its fullest extent, and hide unsightly bottles and other items (such as for cleaning) under the sink in a small cabinet near the toilet.
Ample lighting
When we say ample lighting, we don't necessarily mean that the lighting needs to be so bright that every single bottle of cream or container of liquid casts a clear shadow. In fact, often, subdued lighting fits the bathroom better as it creates a more relaxed atmosphere. However, have different lights available ? one for taking a shower or using the toilet, one for using the sink and vanity, and one for maintenance.
The all-important mirror
You may have a mirror in the bathroom already ? and especially if you are renting, you may be reluctant to change it. However, a good bathroom (especially a smaller one) needs a big mirror. It's not only practical for your personal hygiene; it also livens up the room and makes it look bigger by making it appear more spacious.
Matching towels
Yes, match your towels. In fact, don't just match your towels to each other, but also match the colour of the towels to the general d?cor of your bathroom. It makes a big difference. You may even want to embroider your initials on them for that luxurious touch.
Good cleaning supplies
Be practical. Get sensible cleaning supplies. But hide them somewhere.
Get these five essentials sorted out and you?ll notice your bathroom liven up in no time. Not only does it create a cleaner and more spacious atmosphere, the matching design and colour scheme creates a comfort level that can usually only be found in high-priced hotels and private clubs. It's really not that hard to do, when you think about it ? a little creativity and some practical matching, and you've got yourself a whole new bathroom.
