If you're currently living in a property that you rent, chances are you're pretty unhappy with your bathroom - especially if you're in a small apartment. Maybe the bath isn't as pristine as it should be, maybe there is little to no storage space, or maybe the walls are a gross color. Fear not! We have 10 ways to alter your bathroom to make it feel cleaner, brighter and all-around not nasty.
1. Add color. If you're not allowed to paint your walls, buy a new shower curtain and hand towels in bright, happiness-inducing colors like green, turquoise or orange, says Better Homes & Gardens.
2. Put a small shelf on top of your sink if you do not have counter space. You can put all of your everyday items on it, says Apartment Therapy.
3. Use drawers inside your cabinets. It'll keep your things more organized, and you'll maximize the space, says Apartment Therapy.
4. If you've got a window, open it every once in a while. Even if it's winter, the ventilation and fresh air will help a tiny bathroom feel less claustrophobic.
5. Put in a cabinet or shelves above the toilet, says HGTV. But beware of things falling into the throne by make sure to only keep items that don't roll in there.
6. Don't go nuts with decor, says HGTV, because small spaces can get stuffy with too many doodads. A vase filled with flowers or a basket with magazines, along with your nicely-colored shower curtain and towels, is all you need.
7. Replace your bath mat every few months. Wash them often, and toss them as soon as they look less than fresh. You get to switch up the color too! (And you don't even want to know how much nastiness hides in them!)
8. Buy good cleaning products and don't hide them away. Keep cleaning products in a basket on top of the toilet or just next to it. You'll be more inclined to clean if your tools are in sight, and a cleaner bathroom always feels better.
9. Speaking of cleaning - do it. A lot. If you're dealing with a small space, smells, mildew and gross pools of dusty water accumulate faster than you can say "ew." One way to minimize mess is a new bidet toilet seat, with the right one you can rid of the space, aesthetic, and mess of toilet paper forever. with a streamline design A consistently clean bathroom just feels better, and it's a room where, like it or not, everyone spends quite a bit of time in.
10. Buy toilet paper en masse and always refill before you need it. Though it's not a design tip, it's the most crucial factor in deciding if a bathroom is lovely or truly terrible. Don't make guests scrimp on TP!
