How To Organize Your Bathroom To Eliminate Clutter

Picture walking into a bathroom where it feels open and airy. Not because it’s so huge that you could get lost in it, but because everything has a place and it isn’t filled with clutter. Whether your current bathroom is bursting at the seams or you just want to get a bit more organized, we’ve got some tips to help you out.

The first step is to clear the shelves that you already have. Instead of stuffing them with towels, try hanging them on the back of the door or have a towel bar installed. Then use the empty shelf space to store the items on the counter.

Then group items together. For example, use a lunchbox to store your toiletries, bandages and miscellaneous first aid items. This way you’ll know exactly where everything is when you need it and you can keep it stored underneath the sink.

Another way to make your bathroom look tidy is to have shelving installed in the shower. Rather than having shampoo and conditioner bottles sprawled out across the shower pan or tub, store them neatly on a rack or shelf. Not only will it make your shower feel more spacious, it can eliminate the danger of slipping and falling.

There are lots of additional ways to take control of the bathroom and keep it organized. Contact the experts at Re-Bath of Richmond to find out how we can help and don’t forget to connect with us on Facebook to learn more!

Decorate Your Bathroom in 7 Simple Steps

Unless you’re constantly changing the hand towels, switching up the pictures on the wall or updating the fixtures chances are your bathroom could use a little refresher. Take our word for it when we tell you that even something as simple as a decorative organza bag can bring your bathroom the flair and decor that it’s missing. Read below to find out how you can create your own in 7 simple steps below:

For this project, you’re going to need to a few items. We recommend starting out with a 6 inch organza gift bag, a pencil, rosemary, lavender, chamomile, an embroidery needle and some herbs and spices.


Now follow these steps:
  1. Draw the position of the stems for the rosemary and lavender and draw the pattern of your choice.
  2. Slip the pattern into the bad and trace it with the pencil.
  3. For the rosemary pattern, thread a strand each of cotton beige, light fern green and avocado green threads (three strands in all) and embroider the stems with long stitches on top of the pencil line, moving backwards to fix each stitch.
    For the leaves, thread two strands of light fern green and four of avocado green (six strands in total) and sew a series of stitches forwards to form a downward angle on each side of the stem.
  4. To make the lavender design, thread two strands of fern green cotton and embroider the stems, using two or three long stitches on top of the pencil line, moving backwards to fix each stitch. Then thread two strands of each color (six strands in all) and sew flowers with small forward stitches on each side of the stems, following your drawing.
  5. For the chamomile bag, carefully arrange the buttons on the front of the bag and mark their position with a pencil, without pressing hard. Using two white threads, embroider daisies around these marks, leaving room in the center to place the buttons.
  6. Now that you’ve got the majority of the work completed, sew a button in the center of each flower.
  7. Fill the bags and pull the cords, just remember not to overfill.

Voila! You’ve just created your very own bathroom decorations! Web source: http://www.yellowpages.ca/tips/make-a-decorative-bathroom-bag-in-7-easy-steps/

5 Hot Bathroom Flooring Trends

You’re ready to remodel your old bathroom and you’ve got the sink, the toilet and the rest of the fixtures picked out. But have you taken any time to think about the floor? Bathroom floors are a major part of the renovation project but are often overlooked. So before you make all final decisions, consider these 5 hot bathroom flooring trends:

  1. Ceramic Tile: if you’re looking for a flooring option that will stand up to water and humidity and last for years to come, ceramic tile is the choice for you. Not only is it visually appealing, it won’t go out of style and if for any reason a tile should crack or break, replacing it shouldn’t be an issue. With lots of color and design options, there’s a style for everybody.
  2. Heated Floors: hate waking up to cold feet? Heated tile floors will become your new best friend. And prices have come down over the last couple of years so don’t hesitate to look into the heating options.
  3. Wood-Looking Tile: you may have been to a friend or family member’s house and noticed what looked like wood floors in their bathroom. While it could have actually been real wood, chances are it was tile that looks like wood. This new trend requires very little maintenance and is virtually unscratchable.
  4. Clean Look: if you like look of a pristine bathroom, you can’t go wrong with white tile. Subway patterns have been a hit this year and has been for a few years now.
  5. Customize Your Oasis: you spend lots of time in the bathroom each day, whether you realize it or not, so why not make it your own? Don’t be afraid to experiment with unique designs, arrangements, and surfaces. You can even mix and match if you’re feeling extra creative!

Choose A Neutral Color PaletteYou might love bright, bold colors. It is important to remember that you are not remodeling the bathroom to suit your own taste. Instead, it is meant to appeal to a majority of potential home buyers. To do this, stick with a neutral color palette. 

Stage Your BathroomBefore you show your home to buyers or have an open house, be sure to stage your bathroom. Add bathroom accessories such as nice towels and wall decor. Remember to hide your personal hygiene products and cosmetics from plain sight. 

Add The "Wow Factor"Potential buyers are always looking for that "wow factor" when looking at homes. It is something that makes your home stand out among the rest. Investing in a rainfall shower head or radiant heat flooring can make all the difference.
There is no doubt that upgrading your bathroom can result in a higher ROI for your home. So what are you waiting for? Give us a call today at 804-591-1621 to request a free in-home consultation.
