The Making of a Minimalist Bathroom
If you are planning a minimalist bathroom or looking for easy ways to modernize your bathroom, here are some tips and ways to create a minimal bathroom.
Is your cluttered bathroom stressing you out? I get it. You don’t seem to ever have enough space, cleaning is a chore, and you’re embarrassed when guests ask to use it.
I personally have been practicing minimalism before I even knew it was a “thing”. The idea of minimalism can help you not only reduce clutter, but also the stress that comes along with having a messy space. Often times, this is the exact reason my clients come to me for a new bathroom remodel. When I begin a bathroom design, I always request that my clients take inventory of what they have, need and what items can be hidden away or rid of all together. We then talk about how they want the space to feel. In return, I am able to share a few tips, tricks and design essentials that can make their new space beautiful and joyful.
Bathroom Organization
One way to combat clutter is proper organization by having a specific place for everything. Once your space is designed for your specific needs, it’s easy to ensure that you don’t spend time rifling through drawers because everything you use on a daily basis is at hand. To start this process and begin to create a minimalist bathroom, begin in your bathroom by removing all of those little items that you haven’t used in a long time and probably won’t need again. Keep only those things that you use on a regular basis. You will have more room on your countertops, in your drawers, and in your cabinetry to put things where they properly belong.
Bathroom Countertops
After you’ve removed everything that is non-essential, you should have open space on your countertop. Try to keep only a couple things there, if at all. Toothbrushes and hand soap are fine, but everything else should find a home in a drawer, pullout or closet. The countertop is for things that you will use at least once a day, and that’s it. Planning the proper material for your bathroom countertop is also essential, it will save time on cleaning and maintenance.
Bathroom Cabinetry
Designing your custom cabinetry to hold everything that you need in an accessible place is a must. Including accessories like metal cups to hold hot irons and pull outs for toiletries and hair accessories. These simple but essential design details will make all the difference day-to-day.
Towels
Towels are a big cause of clutter in the bathroom. Try to keep only one towel per person at any time. A built in linen closet or drawers can be the perfect place to store fresh towels for guests or daily use. Perfectly placed hooks or heated towel bars are the perfect accessories to create organization (save water) and decrease clutter, which can make the space look dirty and overwhelming.
Designing your new bathroom with a minimalist eye can help you not just reduce clutter, but the stress that comes along with having a messy space.
