6 Items That Bring Out the Best in Your Bathroom

With the right kind of imagination, you can turn a generic bathroom into an idyllic spa resort. No, that’s not a typo. You can indeed bring out that type of feeling within your own restroom, no matter how big or small it may be. Here are a couple of bathroom touchup ideas that you can try for yourself:

1. Artwork

Art is more than just color, it has the ability to transmit your own feelings, personality and interests to you and anyone who wishes to “help themselves.”

The existing space of your space can be used to your advantage. With just the right amount of room, you can make a gallery wall. You can even use items you bought from a vintage thrift store to give it a one-of-a-kind look.

And if there isn’t enough wall space, you can use statement pieces to create a bigger impact out of something so small. Ensure that your artwork is framed and is kept under the glass to protect it from moisture and steam.

2. Candles

Candles can certainly bring out a romantic kind of atmosphere in your bathroom. Not only does it look beat, but it also keeps the bathroom smelling fresh, especially if you use scented candles. They also add a very lovely appearance around a bathtub. If you find one that comes in a pretty glass container, you’re already good to go. We recommend keeping a couple of spare candles with you so you don’t run out. Also, be sure to keep matches around in case guests come over.

3. Greenery

Adding some of mother nature’s plants is another great way to make your bathroom stand out. A windowsill is an ideal place to place your plant. And if you don’t have any counter space to place your little green friend, then you can settle for a small succulent on top of your toilet or on your shelf.

4. Lighting

A little brightness can certainly ‘lighten’ one’s mood when done right. Lighting can especially give your bathroom that serene, spa-like vibe.

If you use fluorescent lighting, we suggest you get rid of it as it gives your hair and skin an odd color. Instead, use softer lights that make your features flatter and creates a more pleasant environment. To give your bathroom the proper ambiance it needs, go for a layered lighting approach that utilizes overhead light fixtures that include lamps and sconces.
5. Countertop Organization

Organization isn’t just to help your bathroom look good, it’s also important for its functionality as well. Trays can help keep all the items in your bathroom you have stored in one place, helping your vanity look both organized and polished. And because trays come in a variety of shapes and sizes, you will surely find the one that’s most suitable for putting your clutter together.

You can keep all your odds and ends such as nail clippers and bobby pins in a tiny, decorative box. If you’re lacking in counter space, install a floating shelf between the vanity and mirror so you can keep all essentials like bathroom accessories.

5. Storage Containers

Another way to store your essentials and keep them neatly organized is to buy a pretty storage container for yourself. Your cotton balls and swabs will look pristine in glass containers, hand soaps can be stored in jars and makeup can be kept in acrylic boxes. You can also opt for something unorthodox such as cake stands to hold your items in one place.

6.Unique Rugs

Standard rugs may provide a soft spot for your feet to land on, but they aren’t always the most ones you can keep around for cosmetic reasons. Instead, think outside the box like a bamboo or sisal rug to give your bathroom some texture and warmth. They are also quite durable and capable of withstanding moisture and water, which makes them practical as well.
