A well-organized storage space is at the top of most homeowners’ wish lists. Even in homes without closets or with tiny ones, there are plenty of creative solutions to maximize your storage space.
Look for nooks and crannies that you can fill with shelves, bins, and drawers. Decorative baskets are an attractive way to make stackable bins look stylish.
Lighting
Many homeowners need more storage space before they even realize it. It’s a common problem that’s easy to solve with ingenuity and creativity.
Use recessed space in your bathroom with shelves that blend seamlessly with your room. These smart options are ideal for storing frequently used items like extra toilet paper or beauty products.
Vary the types of storage you incorporate in your bathroom remodel to reduce clutter and make the most out of every square foot. Cleverly designed pieces like hairdryer holders that mount inside cabinet doors or a mesh file for essential kitchen rolls keep everyday essentials stylishly contained and within reach.
Triple-measure your planned storage spaces before purchasing bins, trays, or racks to ensure they fit snugly and don’t cut off areas that could be utilized for another purpose. For example, consider adding a small shelf behind your shower for toiletries or towels.
Paint
A bathroom remodel provides a perfect opportunity to maximize storage spaces, keeping essentials within reach while maintaining a functional layout. Careful planning and customized solutions will provide a visually appealing design that enhances efficiency and style. Creative storage ideas allow you to use unused wall space, whether installing shelves and floating cabinets for toiletries, towels, or other necessities or keeping your room free of clutter. Before beginning any remodeling work, mark the location of existing utilities, such as electrical outlets and switches, pipes, and ventilation ducts. Lastly, choose the right paint for the project to avoid damage from humidity and moisture that can lead to unwanted texture, bubbling, and peeling. Be sure to select water-resistant latex or urethane paint.
Mirrors
Mirrors are a bathroom staple, and for good reason: They reflect light and make spaces feel bigger. But the best bathroom mirror ideas go far beyond simply hanging a framed mirror on your wall.
For instance, try a layered mirror style with one or smaller mirrors atop larger ones. It adds a unique textured look while also increasing the reflective surface in your room.
Another creative option is to install a custom mirrored medicine cabinet that provides storage and keeps items out of sight. A professional typically custom-built and installed these, but a stock model might also work.
Consider a simple, lighted LED version if you want to update a plain bathroom mirror without committing to a full frame. These are sleek and stylish; some come with smart lighting options to create the perfect ambiance for your space. They work well in any modern, contemporary, or eclectic bathroom.
Tiles
Tiles are a staple in many bathrooms but can provide more creative solutions than adding color or pattern. For example, ceramic tiles can be used as a backsplash or to cover a wall that is too small for a painting. For example, the light blue squares in this bathroom provide a clean, minimalist look and are also a subtle accent to the white penny tile on the floor. Tile can be cold on bare feet, but this problem is best solved with throw rugs or radiant heating on the floor or subfloor.
Wood can add beauty to a bathroom, but it isn’t practical in a wet area because water softens wood fibers and allows mold to grow.
