Top 10 Tips on How to Make Your Bathroom Practical and Comfortable

Our bathrooms are one of the most used rooms in our homes, but more often than not, they are just seen as a necessity. However, making this space just a little bit more pleasant will make a big difference in your day-to-day life. It’s important to enjoy ourselves as we go through our day, and you don’t have to completely renovate your bathroom to be able to reap the benefits. Here are 10 tips that will help you make your bathroom practical and comfortable.

Surprise yourself with new mats

A small thing that can nevertheless boost the comfort of your bathroom is a new bath mat. They are a necessity, but at the same time, they also function as a design element and can make your bathroom look cozier. Go for a fluffy one to make stepping out of the shower extra comfy.

Add more storage

Storage is often a problem in bathrooms. Not having enough shelves and cabinets will clutter your space, which will make your bathroom unattractive and impractical. So, keep storage in mind from the get-go and implement more than you think you will need. Use the space under the sink if you don’t have much room.

Introduce seating

Seating is truly a game-changer in a bathroom. Why stand in uncomfortable positions while grooming yourself if you could be sitting in a comfy chair? It doesn’t even have to be anything grand; even a small stool will make your bathroom sessions infinitely more convenient.

Get a walk-in shower

Putting ease of cleaning as a priority when designing your bathroom will pay off in the long run. And a walk-in shower is by far the easiest to clean. Coat the glass door with a special coating that will prevent grime buildup and your shower will always look sleek and polished.

Choose a nice shower curtain

Even if you don’t have a walk-in shower, you can make your shower more practical. Make sure you choose your shower curtain well, as it not only has an important function but it also sets the tone for your entire bathroom. It’s important that it’s machine-washable.

Go for larger tiles

As we already mentioned, it’s crucial that your bathroom is easy to clean and doesn’t get dirty as fast. You can “cheat” a bit here and cut back on the amount of time you will need to clean grout by simply going for larger tiles.

Think about sustainability

If any of your faucets are leaky, dripping water is not only annoying but also wasteful. In this case, a plumbing repair is in order. However, you can also go the extra mile and make your bathroom a bit more sustainable overall, which will save you a lot of money in the long run. A low-flow showerhead and a low-flush toilet are a great start.

Install a bidet

To make your bathroom practical and comfortable, you need to think about your needs and daily routine. While bidets are still not too common in countries like the US or Australia, everyone who uses them swears by them. This addition would take your bathroom experience and personal hygiene to the next level.

Improve the lighting situation

Admittedly, most bathrooms don’t boast the best lighting ever. However, squinting in front of the mirror is everything but comfortable. Fixing your bathroom lighting doesn’t take much: call a professional to install you a few more lights.

Add some decoration

Finally, this is not something that is necessary but adding a bit of decor to your bathroom space will make it so much more pleasant and comfortable to spend time in. If you want your bathroom to lift your spirits instead of making you feel depressed, add one or two potted plants and you’ll see the difference.

 

Every bathroom is different, but hopefully, you can still find some of the aforementioned tips useful. You don’t have to go over your budget to make your bathroom practical and comfortable, but feel free to upgrade some of your fittings if that will improve the quality of your life.
