Tips For Making Sure Your Bathroom Is Fully Stocked
Whether you have just moved out from your old home or whether you just took the first steps to independence by renting out an apartment, it can take some time to get everything in the right place at first. Not only does our brain need some time to properly register the exact location of every item anew, but it also tends to expect the presence of everyday essentials from past experiences in a previous home (except that you only did not actually buy the said thing for your new home).There is no other place where this can become so big a headache than in the bathroom (just imagine running out of toilet paper or a similar necessity!). Therefore, to help you out, here is a list of the things you should be having in your bathroom:
- Storage – do not be under the impression that storage refers to only the vanity in the bathroom! From the commercial toilet paper dispenser to the other cabinets and cupboards in the bathroom, there is never enough space in a bathroom. And so, avoid the mistake of being light on adding storage space to the room. There are so many things that need to be stored in a bathroom – from personal care items, beauty and makeup items and hygiene products to cleaning supplies. Discreet storage solutions that make effective use of space are a win-win solution in that they provide extra storage while seemingly not taking up any.
- Mats – the bathroom definitely needs mats, and durable ones at that. There is nothing worse than a bathroom with a wet floor because you simply did not place a good rug. If you want to show off the beautiful floor of your bathroom, you might not be too keen on the idea, but even then, make it a point to include a small rug in front of the tub or shower, and small mats by the sink and toilet. On the other hand, if the floor is not the strong point of the bathroom, you can indulge in large, fluffy mats or several small rugs.
- Trash can – if you still did not buy a trash can for your bathroom, then by all means, get to it right now. There are plenty of options and designs, but it is a good idea to stick to covered trash cans that you can open with your foot. Using trash bags is also ideal, as this makes the removal of trash an easy job.
- Hooks – door or wall hooks are yet another important addition to a bathroom. From clothes to jewellery to other items, there are just so many things that we remove when in a bathroom. Having a space to hang these items on is always helpful.
