Bathroom design tactics for a cleaner 2021

As our lifestyles become busier, cleaning often takes a backseat to work and family responsibilities.

But, there are things you can do to keep your bathroom clean and tidy, even if you do not have time to scrub it every week. If you organize it the right way, your bathroom will look better and stay cleaner.

Below, we will discuss some innovative bathroom design ideas that will help you stay organized. These tips combine style, efficiency, and hygiene to create the perfect bathroom setup.

1. Add Texture 

We often think of texture as a tactile quality. But it is a visual trait, as well. There are the textures you can feel, but also some you can see.

When it comes to emphasizing your bathroom’s design with texture, stick to the visual types. Rigid, bumpy and porous surfaces are breeding grounds for bacteria, particularly in moist and humid bathrooms.

Visual textures add more than just style. They also make the bathroom feel more inviting. A robust visual texture will have a much greater impact on your bathroom’s “feel” than a tactile surface could.

Examples of visual textures include:

You do not have to be a professional designer to use visual texture.

Just be sure to limit your decor to surfaces that are easily cleaned. Otherwise, you might end up with mold and mildew in between the cracks.

2. Get Yourself Organized

There are many ways to organize your bathroom!

Regardless of how clean you keep your bathroom is, without an organizational system, you will always be spinning your wheels to keep up.

There never seems to be enough room in small bathrooms, so if you think yours could use some extra storage space, it is time to get creative.

That does not mean that you need to knock down walls. Instead, add counter space and shelving where you can. Your walls are the canvas for your storage solutions.

Cannot drill screws into the wall?

That’s okay! There are other options for you:

Standalone bath ladders give you a place to keep your supplies in baskets and bins. When space is extremely limited, small bath shelves can be squeezed into tight corners.

Placing a ladder shelf over your toilet is a clever way to use that awkward space above the latrine, and caddies can be used to organize your shower supplies.

3. Learn the Dos and Don’ts of Bathroom Cleaning

It might sound like common sense, but not everyone was taught how to clean a bathroom. Knowing the proper way to keep your bathroom clean will also guide you in your overall design.

5. Keep It Zen

The term “Zen” gets a bad rap. Many people think it is a passing trend. But Zen is a design philosophy that has been around for centuries, so it’s far from a fad.

In the home, Zen can be used to design minimal, clutter free spaces. It’s essentially a “less is more” policy to decorating.

Zen bathrooms look similar to the decor you would see in a spa. With this design scheme in mind, you should try to cut back on furnishings and leave as much empty space as possible.

Here are a few ideas to help you create a Zen-like environment in your bathroom:
