Growing up, I envisioned never having to share a bathroom again once I hit adulthood. Well, that age came and a personal bathroom did not. In college, we are most likely sharing a community style restroom or dealing with roommates. It is a part of life I suppose.
On the off-chance that you have your own bathroom, you want to not only make it your own, but actually use it to the best of your advantage. In other words, make it appear larger than it realistically is and use all of the space that you can muster out of it.
To maximize the space in your small bathroom, read below and take notes. They actually make a large difference.
Bins are your friends.
The problem with having any small area is that you can easily be overwhelmed. You can have piles stacking to the ceiling, trash covering the floor, and nonessentials taking up precious counter space. This is not okay. You need to at least attempt to be somewhat organized.
To solve this very serious issue, you should go to a local Walmart or Marshalls and purchase bins. And do not worry, cute ones actually exist if you care about those sort of things. Plus, they are decently cheap in comparison to larger sized bins. Go figure. Baskets are also an easy fix and can literally house anything. There are your hair things, makeup musts, and the superfluous items such as face cream and bath soaps.
The bins can simply stack in the linen closet or under the sink. Or if there is enough space, you can have a storage unit on the wall. Adding shelves can open up the room especially if lacking a window. This way, you are storing away the must haves and keeping it appearing clean. Did I mention that they stack? Definitely giving bonus points for that one.
Décor is everything.
Even if you are not the most stylish person in the universe per se, you can still have your own style that defines you. Portrayal matters, even if it is only your bathroom. Regardless, you probably spend a lot of time in your bathroom, what with showering and getting ready and whatnot, so might as well make it shed light and a positive vibe. Always down for positive vibes.
Paintings can easily mask the walls, and little knick knacks can align the sink. Instead of a grunge cup as your toothbrush holder, there is always the possibility of using a different grunge cup. Just kidding, but they actually make these things whose intent is for holding toothbrushes in a safe manner. Crazy, I know.
Décor includes other items besides pictures and such. It also includes rugs, shower curtains and hand towels. Hand towels sound so adult by the way. Add that on your Pinterest. There can be a matching theme in your bathroom as a whole, or just super random altogether. Regardless, it definitely opens up the room and grants you believing there is more space, even if that is a lie.
Cleanliness is key.
Most of us strive to be clean and organized, but it is hard work and is not meant for everyone. However, you should still try because it honestly matters. A clean life is a happy life, or something along those lines.
To be clean is to obviously clean up after yourself and when you create a mess, but also to be clean below the surface. Ya know, like dusting, washing the shower tiles, and keeping the sink close to spotless. This is a lot to be asking of you, but I promise it honestly helps make the bathroom appear larger than it is.
When you are clean, you are able to locate your things faster, even if you think that is false. Just put the item back where it goes, and keep things simple. Easier said than done, I know. Having your things organized allows you to utilize your cabinet and counter space, all while actually allowing yourself space to breathe and dance in front of the mirror if you feel like it. You know you do it. Do not lie.
Having a small bathroom is super unfortunate but not rare. We cannot all have a mansion style shower space and that is perfectly okay, for now. We just have to be smart about using all of the space that is available to us. This may seem harder than it is in theory, but it is actually possible.
You can start by purchasing bins or neat containers that can easily store your items, and then stack them if need be. Then make sure you decorate because you should only be giving off good vibes. Lastly, focus on being clean. I know you have it in you. Plus, your bathroom will thank you.
