Storage Ideas For Small Bathrooms

Is your bathroom small? It’s the worst, isn’t it? Well, unfortunately, small bathrooms are very common, and are usually the smallest rooms in the house. I can almost bet that it almost always feels cramped and tight in there. Although the square footage doesn’t change, a change of organization and storage space can make a drastic change to how your bathroom feels. Here are a few tips and tricks to make your bathroom space feel more functional and spacious.

Medicine Cabinet
If you have a regular mirror, replacing it with one that includes a medicine cabinet and provide further storage space.
Shelving
If you have free space above your toilet, vanity, or other another empty part of the wall, install shelving units. Purchase a few decorative baskets to maximize shelf space.
Hooks
With a few decorative hooks, in a style of your preference, you can declutter by placing a couple on the back of the door to hang towels or robes. Perhaps one or two right next to each end of the shelving unit you just installed.
Towel Racks
A rack installed inside of you shower can save you space and convenience, also adding an additional shower bar above the original will work nicely. Another idea is installing a few racks a couple of feet above each other or right next on another. If you have an excessive amount of towels, store some of them away in the bedroom closet.
Vanity with Cabinet
I have come across plenty of pedestal sinks in small bathrooms, but if you want save some space, add some storage, and upgrade the look of your bathroom at the same time, a vanity cabinet will definitely do the trick.

First Time Home Buyers

If you are a first time home buyer and don't know where to start, take a deep breathe. Buying your first home can be a very rewarding experience.

Contact a lender for a pre-qualification. There are loan programs designed specifically for you. If you are in a rural area, I suggest working with a local lender versus an online giant. Local lenders are familiar with the area and can possibly offer better loan options. Start with your bank or contact a local real estate agent for suggestions. The lender will gather your information and tell you a price range for a home you can afford. Go Shopping! This is the fun part! Contact a real estate agent and tell them your wants and needs.
