How We Turn the Bathroom into a Laundry and Washing Area and How to Avoid It

When planning a bathroom, many people don't think about comfort, and often they want a multi-functional space where you can wash yourself, do laundry, and hang towels. That's why this room doesn't become a source of inspiration. But even in the bathroom, you can create a cozy atmosphere and enjoy spending time there. Here are several life hacks!

Hygiene Products

Bottles, tubes, and small containers placed along the edge of the bathtub are often found in our bathrooms. More often than not, it's due to lack of space for storage rather than a conscious choice by the homeowner. These products spoil the aesthetic look and create a sense of clutter, and over time they collect dust on surfaces.

There are options for small two-level shelves that can be installed next to the bathtub. Place hygiene products on the upper shelf, hidden in a decorative basket, and store towels on the lower shelf.

If there is a cabinet or shelves next to the mirror, store brushes, toothpaste, cosmetics, and rarely used products there. With such organization, the room will already transform.

Cleanliness and Order

It's not necessary to clean the entire room every day, but keep visible surfaces like the sink and mirror clean. When choosing materials for the bathroom, focus on high moisture resistance and quality.

Ceramic tiles are especially preferred because they look attractive, last long, and are easy to clean. Glass items look great and clean well from dirt. We often visit this room throughout the day to wash our hands or take a shower, so tidiness in this space is essential.

Limited Space

In a small bathroom, you can create a cozy atmosphere without cluttering the space. Plan every free area and, based on that, choose furniture and accessories. Hang elegant hooks for robes and towels on the door, and combine the cabinet above the sink with a mirror. You'll have storage space for hygiene products.

If you use a glass shower curtain for the bathroom, the room won't visually shrink. Instead of a regular toilet, install a fixture hidden behind a false wall. You can make niches on it for storing various tools. If a washing machine is installed in the bathroom, you can hide it with a panel or sliding doors that match the overall interior.

Decoration

If there's a free surface, place candles of different heights, candlesticks, or a small vase with flowers. These elements create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

Lighting should be sufficiently rich: a mirror with backlight or an unusual chandelier, provided there is good ventilation. Choose a neat laundry basket. There are interesting options like woven baskets that bring warmth to the design. A soft and fluffy mat for feet will be an additional touch in the interior.
