Suddenly you face the abundance of stuff accumulated in your bathroom and with fresh energy attack the project.
Whoa! Take a deep breath and learn about style and storage trends as they relate to today's bathrooms.
New vanity and medicine cabinet designs unite form and function with beautiful, functional options.
In a continuation of the tendency to add our personality to our home spaces, the bathroom emerges with stylish cabinetry designed from the inside out and a more furniture-like appearance.
Instead of the box that has been the mainstay in bathrooms for decades; new solutions which express and relate to furniture throughout the home abound and include improved storage too.
It's the difference between wall-to-wall cabinetry, and furniture or storage pieces that are freestanding.
For example, in the dining room, it's the difference between built-in storage on the wall and a hutch or in the kitchen, a freestanding island.
Some years ago consumers began sourcing antiques for use as vanities.
Requiring extensive modification for plumbing, these pieces were also unsuited to a wet location.
Soon, the plumbing industry recognized an opportunity and quickly offered numerous styles, wood finishes and sizes of cabinets.
The designs also share a common purpose to organize the abundance of personal grooming products, present a clean visual appearance and maintain the bathroom as a retreat and refuge.
Mirrored cabinets, inside and out, extend the medicine cabinet use.
Products are readily seen and the large reflected surface permits easy grooming for men and women.
Another feature is a small magnifying mirror that is adjustable.
Applying makeup, eyeliner and blush is more accurate using this add-on.
Some manufacturers offer integrated electrical outlets for the proliferation of electronics like hairdryers, curling irons, electric razors and electric toothbrushes.
This source of power can also be used to charge cell phones.
Use these five tips to organize the clutter in your bathrooms: 1.
Using two empty containers for sorting and proceed to remove everything from cabinet shelves and vanity drawers.
One containeris for disposal; the other for items that stay.
2.
Eliminate duplicates, makeup and perfume samples, dated prescriptions, almost empty toothpaste, hair products, and such.
Place old and used items in the disposal box; keep only the items used daily in the second box.
3.
Consider his and her drawer organizers for nail products, hair and makeup brushes.
4.
Under the sink, separate cleaning products from towels, toilet paper and extra shampoo or soap.
5.
Remember, "When in doubt, throw it out!"
