Easy Bathroom Design Ideas

Discover the value of easy bathroom design ideas. When it comes to bathroom design ideas and implementation, remember that less is more. 

The busy bathroom is the perfect place to take advantage of the many tools and gadgets designed to organize your home's tight spaces, offering you a more efficient and organized living space. 

While most bathrooms are not designed with ample storage, don't underestimate the power of minor changes. These tweaks can significantly transform these cramped quarters into efficient and organized spaces, inspiring you to make the most of your bathroom. 

Space is a luxury in the bathroom, so your design must be both functional and attractive. These decor ideas are not just about aesthetics; they're about decluttering and making the most of your space, ensuring that every element serves a practical purpose.

Easy Bathroom Design Ideas for Spiffing Up Storage

If the bathroom is without windows, these design ideas can brighten things up: add mirrors to the walls and choose bright, cheery colors for the bath and hand towels to give the room an airier, more spacious feel.

No matter how luxurious your bathroom is, the under-the-sink cabinet and medicine chest may need more storage space.

Make the most of every inch of powder room space with these easy bathroom design ideas. They can dramatically increase your bathroom's storage power:

• Use a wicker or wrought-iron wine rack to store rolled washcloths and towels. This is not only a way to put extra storage and spare towels at the ready, but rolled towels can also provide a colorful accent, especially in a child's bathroom. Coordinate the towels with your decor.
  

• Add over- and above-toilet shelving. Put wooden shelves along one wall or buy over-the-commode unit shelves. Here, you can place those little knickknacks you can't live without and a small clock to keep you and the kids on schedule in the morning.

• Add near-sink shelving. If you're short on space or have a small bathroom, single shelves hung near the sink provide perfect resting spots for soap, toothbrushes, and other daily essentials.

• Towel bars with built-in shelving over the top. You can hang used towels on the bar and stack new replacements on shelves for easy use, or you can forgo the traditional towel bars altogether in favor of antique or whimsical drawer pulls. Connect them to the wall with screws. Two or three together give a collected look. Hang a towel through each of the pulls for a finished look.
  

• Wicker storage units are an excellent bath choice because they withstand humidity well. And most pieces come with drawers for more bathroom storage for you and the kids.
  

• Even antiques can add storage to bathrooms. Do you need to recycle a few pieces from the other rooms in your home? An antique armoire, cupboard, chest, or table gives a bathroom more space and a delightfully elegant touch. 

Bathroom Design Ideas for a Brighter Space

• Control countertop chaos by corralling personal hygiene items into containers, baskets, or boxes. Nothing makes a small bathroom seem smaller than spilling items from every surface.
  

• Remove that little throw rug on the bathroom floor to give the illusion of more space in a small bathroom. Strip the commode of its furry cover to keep it from becoming the room's focal point. Why dress up the fixture you least want to call attention to?
  

• To make the powder room appear less utilitarian, bring in a wooden chest or a few stacking wicker or rattan boxes to add character and storage space.

• If you have a folding screen languishing in a closet, place it between the sink and toilet to add style and privacy.

Final easy bathroom design ideas: If your bathroom has exposed pipes, paint them the same color as the walls or apply a faux finish in complementary colors.

Since you can't get rid of the pipes, make the most of them!
