In most homes, the bathroom is the smallest room. When you also consider that many people use it throughout the day, and the long list of tools and products that are used there, it’s easy to understand why bathrooms sometimes become cluttered and disorganized. At Mission West Kitchen & Bath we understand that the clutter can feel inevitable but today we are here to offer some practical tips to help you improve your bathroom.
- Get rid of what you don’t need
- Give everything its place
- Keep everything off the floor
- Clean your shower / bath regularly
- Make use of hooks
The first step in a well-organized bathroom is to be honest about what you truly need. Are you really going to use that medication that expired three years ago? Do you need to store extra toilet paper and soap in the bathroom or can you free up that room by storing it elsewhere? The goal is to only keep what you actually use on a regular basis.
As the saying goes, “A place for everything and everything in its place.” It is impossible a bathroom picked up if there are items that have no permanent home. Inevitably, you will just end up moving items form one counter to another over and over again. A new vanity can improve storage space by taking advantage of every spare inch. A new bathroom countertop can give you more room for storage accessories.
Bathroom floors are known for harboring moisture and dirt and when you add storage boxes or baskets to the mix, you could end up with mold or mildew. What you will certainly find is that your home is not a beautiful, organized space if you have anything stacked on the floor. Instead, put a small shelf in its place and put those items in a new home.
The bottom line is that no matter how organized and uncluttered your bathroom is, if you have a dirty shower or bath it is going to make the bathroom look more cluttered. Choose a shower door that is clear and free from busy patterns to help continue the uncluttered look.
When it comes to getting rid of clutter and ensuring that everything in the bathroom has its place, nothing may be as helpful as a few wisely placed hooks. They can be a spot to put towels, they can hold a robe, or they can even be used to keep your hair dryer in its own place. You do not want your walls covered in hooks but a few here and there are a great organizational tool.
If you want to create a bathroom that is a true sanctuary, away from the uncluttered life you may live, then we welcome you to contact Mission West Kitchen & Bath at (626) 799-3503 for help designing that perfect bathroom.
