It’s not as if any homeowner is going to start entertaining their guests in the bathroom anytime soon. But it’s true to say that this space deserves our care like any other. Our bathrooms tend to be areas where we greet our day as we wake up. Perhaps, enjoying a warm shower on a cold morning, and the place we wash and prepare ourselves for bed each night. Let’s make it a pleasant space.
So, a room that bookends our daily experience is worth focusing on, especially because it’s a space that even our guests are sure to occupy at one time or another, unlike our garage spaces, utility rooms, and even private bedrooms.
But with a family to take care of and a household to run, it’s not as if you have much time to clean every space through and through daily. Nor would that be a useful way of spending your time. For this reason, keeping your bathroom a pleasant space to occupy will be aided by the following investments and provisions:
Odour Defeaters & Ventilation
Odour defeaters can, of course, keep the bathroom smelling fresh and nice. This can be especially important in ground-floor bathrooms where open windows or ventilation may not be as easy to ensure at all hours of the day. That said, ventilation locks on your windows, ventilation bricks, extraction fans, and more can ensure that the airflow in such a space is properly handled, so that the moisture isn’t trapped and won’t turn damp. Ventilation will also ensure the bathroom is a pleasant, clear-headed space to occupy.
Comforting Floor Mats
A pedestal mat and a thin floor rug can be a good way to help you avoid foot stains when someone is leaving the shower and is a comfortable means of greeting your feet instead of the cold tile on a winter’s morning. A comforting floor mat also adds some nice aesthetic value to the space which can be invaluable as you try to decorate with limited room to do so. On top of that, keeping your bathroom a pleasant space to occupy is often defined by the small furnishings that tend to make all the difference. A few trimmings can change the character of the space anew.
Towel Warmers
Towel racks can be a nice addition to the space and help you remain organized. But some of these can also be tied to your central heating so they heat up in the midst of the colder seasons. Sure, getting out of the warm shower on a freezing morning can be incredibly uncomfortable, but the feeling is diminished greatly if we’re met with a warm towel we can use to get dry and make it back to our bedrooms while getting dressed. As they can be switched on and off at your discretion, you don’t have to worry about these radiating elements adding too much of a cost to your heating bill at the end of the month.
With this advice, you’re certain to keep your bathroom a pleasant space to occupy, as caring for the smaller rooms in our homes can be more impactful than you think.
Great suggestions! I’d really like to give my bathroom a proper upgrade soon. I think towel warmers are such an amazing idea and perfect now that the end of summer is in sight! Thank you so much for sharing x
Hopefully, you will get to do it soon. We have towel rails and they are so useful for drying out towels and odd items of clothing. There is nothing better than nice warm towels on a winter morning.
