Reorganize or Remodel Your Bathroom?
New year… new bathroom! It’s that time of the year to go through your house and get rid of the “extras.” Starting with the bathroom (a famous place for clutter) as multiple people tend to be in and out of them every day. Decluttering and organizing can be daunting (and spendy). Whether you’re thinking of reorganizing or remodeling, follow these tips for your bathroom makeover.
Before you tackle the task, consider the organizational issues in your bathroom. After you identify the problem (piles of towels, not enough space) you’ll know where to spend your money. Focus on a few quality fixtures when shopping. For example, decorative baskets, shelving, and towel bars all have function and form.
Control the clutter
Spice racks in the bathroom?! Although they’re commonly used in the kitchen, they’re a great organization tool for multiple places. Spice racks are an ideal way to store nail polish and cosmetics and can usually fit in a vanity cupboard.
Decorative baskets and containers are a great way to store towels and toilet paper. You don’t have to splurge on the most expensive options to create a serene design.
Go vertical for bigger space solutions. Find storage on the wall as well as in the pre-existing cabinets that come with the sink. Consider an over-the-toilet shelf unit- these can range from affordable options for $30 to designer versions in the hundreds.
Clear your countertop for a tidy bathroom. It is best to keep as few items on your countertop as possible. This makes the counter easier to clean and reduces the chance of items accumulating and becoming clutter.
Drawer organizers can help keep items classified and within easy reach. Every drawer should have a designated purpose and remember you don’t have to fill every drawer.
Youtube, Pinterest, and Google have multiple resources to inspire and guide you through organizing your bathroom. However, even the best resources can’t solve the issue of minimal storage or space. If you’ve come to the conclusion that no organizational tactics will work and it is time for a bathroom remodel-- don’t start without a professional plumber.
Remodels can be very exciting, but it’s important that they’re conducted correctly so you don’t have issues later on. A plumber can ensure the water flows where it’s supposed to, and can save you a lot of time if you were planning to do it yourself. Check out how a plumber can help you out here.
