Transform your bathroom into a spa: 10 items you should always have in your bathroom
We usually try to organize our bathroom as best a possible, ensuring it is functional and the vitals are always present: towels, toilet paper, beauty products and more. However, a functional, bland bathroom can easily be transformed into a place of pleasant relaxation, where we can indulge in some extra pampering by recreating a spa atmosphere within it.
Incurring a small expense or by using some creative recycling will be enough to help transform our bathrooms. Here's a list of 10 items you can consider buying/creating for your bathroom:
1. Elegant storage containers
For a perfectly organized bathroom - where we don't waste time searching for what we need - it is important to consider getting containers for all our toiletries such as make-up, brushes, soaps, creams, towels. Choose containers that are also pleasant to look at, as well as being functional: you are going for an elegant look!
2. Hooks and towel rails
Is there anything worse than stepping out of the shower and realizing you've forgotten your bathrobe? Or to reach for a towel, only to find it damp? In a bathroom it is essential that there is enough space to hang up our towels comfortably, and that they can get air-dry properly. So, put up wall or door hooks, tracking/shelves and towel rails: essential next to the sink and the shower or tub. You'll soon see it's worth it!
3. Bath mats
To feel warm and pampered, it is essential to cover the floor with a soft bath mat. Useful for when getting out of the shower (to avoid wetting the floor and getting cold feet), the bath mat is also a warm cuddle for our feet when we use the sink in the mornings. Some mats also have nice art on them, which also helps.
4. Trash can
There are many occasions in which we need to throw waste into the garbage in the bathroom: from dental floss to cotton swabs or cotton balls, we use many disposable products every day and stepping out to use the kitchen's trash can is a big waste of time. So, get yourself a nice trash can for the bathroom, preferably with a lid. It will be beautiful and useful!
5. Toilet brush holder
The toilet brush holder is another essential element in our bathrooms, even if it is not always that attractive. Today there are minimalist models available, with basic, clean lines; and then, there are others that are more artistic, so to speak. Try getting a more elegant-looking model to enhance your bathroom.
6. Soap dish
Another way to turn your bathroom into a spa, is to pay particular attention to the choice of accessories: buy a set of matching soap dishes, toothbrush holders and liquid soap dispensers: the effect will be more harmonious and more beautiful to look at. There are many models available on the market, so choose the set that comes closest to matching you personal tastes!
7. Storage cabinets
In the bathroom it is essential to have a wall-mounted cabinet where you can keep shaving cream, oral hygiene products, cotton balls, cotton swabs, medicines and more. Choose one with a mirrored door if you want to save space: this will then serve a double function.
8. Containers for cotton wool products
How about getting some cute containers for your cotton balls and swabs? You can find many different models on the market, and you will certainly also find one that suits your taste: but you can also choose to make them with a bit of creative recycling, for example, by reusing old glass candle jars or decorating empty jars for vegetable preserves or jam.
9. Snug bathrobe
How about wrapping yourself in the soft and warm embrace of a bathrobe while you take care of your body? Even in an old, dull bathroom, you will feel pampered in a soft, snug bathrobe!
10. Towels
Last but not least, we come to towels: essential in any self-respecting bathroom, they too can become guardians of our well-being. Throw away those that are worn out and treat yourself to a set of soft towels in beautiful, captivating colors. Make sure they are always enough for all the family members and, above all, that they are always clean and dry. You won't regret it.
