The bathroom is a room in the house that has potential to not only be functional but also be tidy, organized, and visually appealing to your friends and family. Here are a few tips on how to take full advantage of your bathroom space.

Optimize Your Storage Space

Regardless of the size or layout of your bathroom, there are many spaces that can be used for storage that is often overlooked. Shelving over the toilet offers a perfect spot for storing extra items like toilet paper and hand towels, and makes it easier for your guests to find the items they may need during their stay. If your bathroom has a toilet paper rack on the wall, a small shelf over top like one from this article by DIY ideas.com  is perfect for accents like fresh flowers, or air freshener. Using these spaces will eliminate clutter, and keep your bathroom organized and tidy.

Use Classy Storage Options

A bathroom with ample counter space is perfect for adding a bit of style and class. A trendy and useful way for storing and displaying your essential items is apothecary style jars like the ones pictured above. Using jars of different sizes and shapes is visually appealing, and according to Better Homes and Gardens, coordinating the colours of your bathroom with the items you store in the jars is a perfect way to customize and accessorize the room.

Display Your Towels

Towels are an essential item in the bathroom, and when properly displayed, they can add an extra flare and brighten the room up. Instead of storing towels in a drawer, choose colours that compliment the colour scheme of the room, and display them on a rack, or in baskets that hang on the wall. This will not only make your bathroom visually appealing, but it will also increase the floor space, and create ease of access for anyone staying with you. For the guest bathroom, add extra hooks so overnight visitors have a place to hang wet towels after showering.

Organize the Drawers

Clutter in drawers can lead to frustration and difficulty finding the items you need. Instead of randomly filling the drawers in the bathroom, create a customized organizer like the one in this tutorial from Keys to Inspiration. For your guest bathroom, organize the drawers with everyday items that they can use, like toothpaste, extra toothbrushes, and hair products. Providing these items for them will make them more comfortable, and will eliminate the stress of forgetting something at home,

Next time your guests come to stay overnight, impress them using these tips on optimizing your bathroom space. Whether you make use of the storage space above the toilet or display your towels to accent the colour scheme of the room, these tips will assist you in making the bathroom a place you can enjoy.
