The bathroom can be more than just a place for bathing and dealing with roughage deficiency. With proper space planning, organizing and decorating, your bathroom can be a relaxing venue for meditation in the morning or a restful respite after a grueling day at the office. Bathrooms, just like other rooms in city homes, also suffer from limited spaces. This, however, is not a problem as long as bathroom fixtures and furniture are properly designed and positioned. Don't try to overload it with colors, fittings, fixtures and accessories. To avoid clutter, invest on a good shower caddy where you can organize toiletries and other bath essentials like sponges and scrubs. Install towel rack near the shower area for easy reach and if space permits have a hamper for laundry. If you are dreaming of a beautiful and serene bathroom, avoid using too many colors on your palette. Use light or neutral colors, like greens and blues, for your bathroom to make it look more spacious and create a relaxing atmosphere. Be wise on using paint effects on the walls especially those that were popular in the nineties as they can be more stressful than relaxing. Bring in some live plants to freshen up the room even more. Plants can be especially aromatic or good oxygen providers. A well-placed window in the bathroom is also advisable to allow air circulation and discourage growth of mold and bacteria. Always remember that simple designs and fewer colors in your bathroom can clearly wash away your tension and worries and emerge rejuvenated.About the Author:
