Washroom wonders: 5 ways to reinvigorate your bathroom

We don’t want to stress you out, but you know the feeling: waking up at 8:20 for that 9am meeting, freaking out, fumbling around the clutter-full washroom for your toothbrush, your deodorant, your clothes…

Sometimes life has a way of stressing us out (like waking up late for important engagements), but there are certain ways we can mitigate those stresses. The washroom, for example, is a place that should instil a sense of calm and worry-free getting ready, even if you are set to be reprimanded for rocking up 20 minutes late!

With this in mind, here are five ways to reinvigorate your washroom and make it such a space!

 

1. Install a glass shower door

 

The most reputable bathroom builders Melbourne has will start with telling you this: to make the washroom a calming space it should be one that appears super spacious!

The greatest inhibitor to this feeling of space: that rank old shower curtain! Yes, who cares if it has a print of the world map or a cute jungle display - it’s making your washroom look smaller which, in turn, instils a greater feeling of stress when you’re trying to get ready for an important day ahead!

So, the first place to start to reinvigorate your washroom is, of course, replacing the old shower curtain with something elegantly stunning!

 

2. Make it clutter-free friendly

 

Because having your clothes and towels strewn across the floor is another great way to make you feel downright stressed when you probably already have a few other things on your mind. No one wants to be that person who has to rummage through old socks and jocks just to find the pairs they threw on the ground entering space: it really makes one feel like they are not living their best life!

Instead, why not work towards making it a clutter-free friendly space, one in which you can easily organise your new clothes, old clothes (think the classic hamper), towels (towel hooks - go on!) and other essentials (containers for your hygiene essentials etc.) so that you can get ready without any unnecessary hassle.

 

3. Install a new vanity

 

Because bathroom vanities have come a long way in recent years, and if yours is looking like a worn out piece from the daggy days of the 90s then perhaps it’s time to take it up a notch. If you in a process of bathroom renovation, think about it.

This is not for aesthetic purposes: the right vanity can be a great storage unit and one that allows you to do all your essentials (hair, makeup, shaving etc.) with everything right in front of you, whereas one that is too small, for example, greatly inhibits your ability to prepare yourself with proper efficiency!

 

4. Mirrors do the trick

 

Another one of the ultimate ways to ensure your bathroom looks more spacious - and therefore makes a more relaxing space - is to install a large feature mirror. Why? Because a large mirror can make your space look like it's going on for infinity, which in turn creates a less claustrophobic feeling and one that is far more comfortable for getting ready for the day ahead.

 

5. Heated towel racks

 

Just a cheeky little touch for finishing off your bathroom wonder: heated towel racks. The joy of getting out of the shower on a cold day and wrapping yourself in a warm towel is unparalleled in this space, especially when it’s suuuper cold Melbourne-style and all you want is to stay as warm and cosy as possible at all times!
