5 ways to make your bathroom more efficient

The average person spends a significant portion of his or her week in the bathroom. An inefficient bathroom can make this amount of time even longer. If you find yourself competing with your husband for sink time or bumping into the shelving every time you try to blow dry your hair, it may be time to think about a bathroom remodel. Below are some suggestions as to how you can make sure the remodel leaves you with an efficient bathroom space. 

1. Have enough storage space
Nothing shrinks a space faster than clutter. Hairbrushes, cosmetics and linens are all necessary elements of the bathroom, but they take up precious counter space. Consider adding cabinetry to the walls or above the vanity for added storage. 

These beautiful cabinets provide extra storage space and add style to the bathroom.

2. Upgrade your vanity
The vanity is an important element of the bathroom. It houses the sink, provides extra storage and adds style to the room. By installing a new vanity, you have the opportunity to add a sink to your bathroom, which may make it easier for your household to get ready in the morning.

3. Expand
Perhaps you’ve done everything you can to make your bathroom bigger, but it’s still not enough. It may be time to remodel to a bigger space. Consider hiring a reliable home improvement specialist to help you design a larger custom bathroom. 

4. Get creative
There are plenty of creative solutions to make your bathroom more efficient. One of the most popular ways to increase efficiency is to take advantage of empty space. You can do this by adding over-the-toilet shelving or installing towel racks on the wall. These elements not only add style, but they provide additional space in the room. For added counter space, get rid of bulky boxes and replace them with glass apothecary jars. These are more attractive and don’t take up as much room.

5. Light it up
An essential element in making a room look bigger is the lighting. Wall sconces are advantageous for bathrooms, as they provide adequate illumination and are an attractive design feature. Have a design specialist help you decide what type of lighting would be most beneficial to your space.

Because it’s a room where you have to spend so much time, you want your bathroom to look its best and provide a comfortable, inviting atmosphere. To achieve a bathroom that lives up to your standards, consult a home improvement specialist today.
