From the morning rush to peaceful nights, the bathroom is the ultimate collaboration in function, organization, and design.
Whether you’re looking for a high-quality vanity, striking lighting, or accessories to bring your space to life, learn how to outfit your bathroom with all the essentials with our buying guide.
Before diving into all the furniture and decor you want to outfit your bathroom with, assess your space and determine what exactly you need in your bathroom. Consider the following three points:
1.
Assess Your Space
When situating cabinets, vanities, decor, and more in your bathroom, consider the available space. Bathrooms tend to be long and narrow, meaning the size of your furniture impacts walkways and your ability to maneuver through the space. Your bathroom furniture should be aligned to your available size, whether a master bath or a small powder room.
2.
Determine Your Storage Needs
If you share a bathroom or have a lot of products or other essentials, consider the space-saving
storage solutions you need. Think about what extra pieces you need, such as an over-the-toilet cabinet or a freestanding storage cabinet.
3.
Consider Your Design Preferences
From lights and mirrors to vanities and linens, the bathroom is the place to let your design preferences shine. Consider hardware, lighting finishes, and the color and style of your furnishings.
Essential Bathroom Features
Bathroom Vanities
Bathroom vanities provide counter space, storage, and an elegant design appeal as the main attraction in your bathroom. They’re available in various finishes, styles, colors, and sizes, designed to meet your space specifications and aesthetics. Vanities typically come with single or dual sinks, cabinets, and drawers.
Your bathroom vanity should leave room for swinging entrance and shower doors.
Consider placement
Whether against the back wall or a small vanity in a side corner, the placement of your bathroom vanity impacts your decision.
Consider size
Your vanity should not impact the flow of traffic in your bathroom. Leave room for maneuvering throughout the space.
Bathroom Lighting
A well-lit bathroom is an essential part of your home. Consider the type of lighting you need and the styles you prefer before purchasing lights.
Here are some common lighting fixtures for your bathroom:
Wall sconces are placed on either side of a mirror and keep light out of your eyes with directional shades.
Ceiling lighting
Ceiling or overhead lighting gives ample brightness for you to perform your tasks.
Bathroom Vanity Lighting
Bathroom vanity lights are located directly above the mirror and include a bank of two or more lights.
Bathroom Storage
Your bathroom has a lot of storage needs that a vanity alone may not be able to fulfill. Towels, linens, hygiene products, and cleaning supplies are just some items you may want to stow away in your bathroom. These space-saving storage solutions are perfect for just about any bathroom:
Freestanding cabinets offer additional storage for cleaning supplies, extra linens, or more.
Over-Toilet Bathroom Storage Cabinet
Over-the-toilet cabinets or shelves make the most of your wall space to house extra towels, candles, or other essentials.
Medicine Cabinet
Wall-mounted medicine cabinets are a great space-saving solution, providing extra storage and a reflective surface.
Bathroom Accessories
Put the finishing touch on your bathroom with various decorative accessories that elevate the utility and design of your space. Here are a few unique accessory ideas to help brighten your space.
Bathroom Hardware
Hardware, like towel hooks and toilet paper holders, is necessary for every bathroom. They generally come in sets and have different finishes and styles to match your design.
Bathroom Faucets & Shower Heads
Shower heads and faucets are an opportunity to let your style shine. Match the faucet finish with your hardware finish for a put-together look, or let them stand out with a different finish type.
Mirror
Mirrors are available in a range of styles and sizes. Place one above your vanity for a traditional look, or accent different parts of your bathroom with additional mirrors for the illusion of space.
Bathroom Decor
There are plenty of opportunities to add bathroom decor into your space to create a complete look. Bath mats, shower curtains, wall art, and candles are inexpensive ways to bring your bathroom to life.
