Does your bathroom seem like a nightmare to you? Try these 11 tips to make it look neater

The bathroom is usually the first room we go to as soon as we get up in the morning. This is why it is important to feel comfortable in it, so that our day begins on the right foot. Sometimes, however, our bathrooms do not seem perfect, like when they have a film of dust on all the surfaces.

We may not realize it, but there are many things that can be arranged better in the bathroom to immediately improve the environment. We have made a list here to help you get started:

1. A discolored radiator

Radiators are essential to keep us warm during winter and in the bathroom, we use them to warm our bathrodes or towels to make us feel cosy. But like all things, they need regular maintenance. Clean them regularly from any dust and renew their paint from time to time to keep the white bright and not to turn yellow with age.

2. The toothbrush holder

The toothbrush holder is subject to having stagnant water in it and this can cause mold. In turn, this mold can settle on the handles of the toothbrushes, giving them a scruffy appearance and making them unhygienic. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to wash this object regularly - at least once a week. Additionally, you can use wall-mounted toothbrush holders: in this way the toothbrushes will be kept tidier and cleaner.

3. Bathrobes hanging on the door

Creativo

The most useful place for bathrobes is near the shower, close to hand. But comfort does not always align with aethetics or, above all, with hygiene. The bathroom is a very humid place and if we leave our bathrobes hanging in the bathroom - on the door or on a hook near the shower - they will inevitably get damp and will probably start to smell. It is much better to keep them elsewhere, along with your clean towels. You will notice that the bathroom atmosphere will benefit from this.

4. Sponges hanging from the taps

Sponges and loofahs hanging from the shower taps make the bathroom look messay; it is best to keep them in a container, on a shelf or hanging from hooks near the shower or bathtub.

5. Chromed shelving

Chrome storage shelves are found in many showers because they are cheap, but the chrome coating wears off easily and the metal underneath rusts. The effect will be unsightly: the shower will seem neglected. It is better to opt for plastic, glass, stainless steel or brass shelving units; they will look better and last longer over time.

6. The liquid soap bottles

Having many different bottles on the sink has a strong visual impact and can look messy: it is better to pour the soap into bottles that are in tune with the design of the bathroom (or use automatic soap dispensers). Your bathroom will immediately look more elegant and tidy!

7. Cosmetics and cleaning products on top of the washing machine

Creativo

If you have a washing machine in the bathroom, you probably use it as an additional shelf for your detergents or cosmetics. The products stored in this way, however, makes the bathroom look messy. It is much better to store them elsewhere and leave the top of the washing machine free.

8. Open shelves

Creativo

Like the washing machine, many open shelves filled with bottles and other clutter can also contribute to making the bathroom look messy. The ideal solution is to eliminate them completely and replace them with closeable cabinets. If this is not possible, reduce the number of open shelves to a minimum and use them to store the bare essentials. You will see immediately how everything will look more orderly.

9. Toilet paper in its packaging

Creativo

Keeping toilet paper in its original packaging will not contribute to order in your bathroom - if anything, it will create more chaos. If you don't have a cabinet to store the rolls in, you can opt to use baskets or holders which can be hung on the walls. They will look much more refined than sitting in their packaging on the shelf.

10. Soap-holding kitchen sponge

Creativo

In an emergency, a kitchen sponge can be an excellent stand-in as a soap holder. But if you need a long-term solution, perhaps you should invest in a specific product, which is more aesthetically pleasing. In fact, over time, the sponge absorbs soap and water and becomes slimy, as well as making the soap soft.

11. Hanging up laundry

When you need to dry cleaning cloths or rags it is fine to put them on the radiator: but once they are dry, remove them and put them back in their proper place.
