A bathroom that’s practical, functional, and efficient can ease your life in many different ways. Your bathroom, after all, is one of the most used rooms in your home, and if it’s organised in a highly-efficient and practical manner, you and your household will be more comfortable using it, and, what’s more, it will be cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing as well. If you’re wondering how you can transform your bathroom into an efficient and practical space, here’s how to do it.
Open shelving
Open shelving can do wonders for your bathroom, especially if your storage space is fairly limited. Open shelves can actually give your bathroom a brighter and airier look, and they allow you to incorporate certain design elements such as vases, picture frames, potted plants, and so on. But not only does open shelving make your bathroom like more open and spacious – it also provides you with easy access to toiletries, linen, and other bathroom essentials.
Under-floor heating
Under-floor heating, also known as radiant heating, could well be one of the most useful features any bathroom could have. If you’ve ever stepped out onto a cold bathroom floor after a warm shower or bath, then you will definitely be interested in under-floor heating. Under-floor heating makes your bathroom a more practical and efficient space, a space where you can easily do grooming tasks such as shaving or applying makeup. Under-floor heating has improved a lot in recent years, and if you’re looking for an efficient upgrade, this one’s for you.
More lighting
Natural light can give your bathroom a big, practical boost since it allows you to perform tasks more easily. But if you lack natural light in your bathroom and cannot install a new window, the best solution would be to install more lighting fixtures in different forms, such as spotlights, downlights, under-cabinet lights, LED strip lights, and so on. There is a range of options for better lighting in your bathroom; by adding different levels of lighting (task lighting and accent lighting, for instance), your bathroom will be more efficient or more relaxing as you prefer.
Modular shower enclosures
If you really want to make your bathroom a practical haven for the entire family, then a modular shower enclosure may also be a good idea. Modular or pre-made shower cubicles are all the rage, since they are available in many sizes and shapes, and include everything you may need (and then some). All units come with shower heads, for example, and there are those which come with extra hydro jets, seating, shelves, lights, and more.
Other practical and efficient elements include towel warmers, non-stick or non-slip surfaces, and cleverly hidden areas for additional storage, such as corner storage.
