Typically, the bathroom is a small area in the house. Therefore, arranging the bathroom space to be convenient in daily activities and keep its aesthetics is what many people aim for.

According to Homes and Gardens, below are some decorating suggestions to help you make the most of this space without wasting it.

Use a sink cabinet

The first suggestion to make the bathroom more convenient and smart is to install a sink cabinet.

Many homeowners overlook or only use small cabinets with limited space for their belongings.

However, Adam Molsey, Director of the luxury bathroom design company Thomas Crapper, said that using a large sink cabinet would help optimize storage space while still making the bathroom luxurious and beautiful.

Avoid placing cabinets too high

In addition to expanding storage space, the location of the cabinet is also important.

Many people optimize bathroom space by installing shelves and cabinets in empty areas of the room, such as the wall.

However, homeowners will have difficulty and inconvenience in retrieving their belongings if the cabinet is hung too high to make use of the empty space on the wall.

“You should install cabinets and mirrors according to your own height, not the installer’s,” Molsey shared.

Arrange items properly

Another issue to pay attention to when storing items in the bathroom is arranging them in the cabinet.

Juliette Thomas, Director of the luxury furniture company Juliettes Interiors, suggests that you should divide the items into separate groups based on their purpose, such as skincare products, makeup, or shower products.

“You should only leave essential items that you use daily on the countertop,” she added.

This action helps to make the bathroom more organized, airy, and easy to find items.

Moreover, because the shower area is a high humidity area, storing items incorrectly in the bathroom can affect the quality of the products. For example, razors can rust, and shower bombs can expand when kept in this space.

Make use of “dead space”

Not everyone has a spacious bathroom. In case your bathroom has a small area, any empty space in the room can be useful.

According to Ann Marie Cousins, founder of the interior design company AMC Design, if your bathroom does not have enough space to place a sink cabinet or a vanity table, try placing a shelf cabinet in the empty space above the toilet or bathtub.
