Discover Which Are The Objects That Make Your Bathroom Look Cheap
And get rid of them.
Next to the kitchen, the bathroom is the distinctive room of your house. Although you spend much less time there than in other rooms, a comfortable and functional bathroom can change your mood for the whole day.
After all, the first thing you do in the morning is gone in there to wash, before starting a new day, and end the evening there with the usual ritual.
You have to appreciate the comfort and decor of your home, and the bathroom is no exception. Certain items make the room look bad and make it look untidy and cheap.
Glossy tiles
Glossy tile is the most unfortunate choice for the bathroom. It gets slightly dirty and you can see any stain. But the most important thing is that it is slippery and insecure.
Yes, the gloss can visually enlarge the room, but interior designers recommend choosing matte tiles because they are not slippery and look elegant.
Scattered containers
It can be difficult to keep order in the bathroom, especially when it comes to personal care products. It is not at all pleasant to see containers lined up on the edge of the tub.
It is best to store them all in the closet and choose your favorite product from there before each bath.
There is no support for toilet paper
This problem is quite familiar to you. Either you are too busy hanging the toilet paper in the holder, or the people you live with leaving it where it belongs.
Toilet paper placed on a shelf or the toilet tank makes the room look messy. If you choose to put the roll of toilet paper in the holder, it will not get dirty or damp and you can avoid slipping on the floor.
Linen for laundry
The ropes stretched across the bathroom with dry clothes are a dubious decoration for the bathroom. And there is a lot of moisture inside the room, so the clothes will not dry too quickly.
If the apartment does not have a balcony or you do not have a washing machine with a drying function, you can choose the drying rack that comes in a variety of shapes and colors.
Worn shower curtain
A worn shower curtain not only looks horrible from an aesthetic point of view, but it is also disgusting. Therefore, you mustn't forget to wash it regularly.
It is not at all difficult to do this. Use a laundry detergent cap, baking soda, and a few drops of tea tree tea to machine wash.
Also, when buying a shower curtain, make sure it has weights at the base. This way it will not wrinkle and you will not splash water on the floor when bathing.
PVC folder
These rugs are usually very cheap and can be found in large rolls, so you can cut them the way you want.
However, the PVC material does not absorb water and the mold can appear quickly. So choose a bamboo or cotton rug because they look stylish and are wear-resistant.
Plastic panel
The access panels are mostly made of plastic and painted in a bright white. Unfortunately, this makes it stand out in the bathroom and attract attention.
It can be repainted, but it will not be possible to make it "disappear" completely. And the white color of the panel often turns into an unpleasant yellowish color over time.
How do you solve this problem? You can find other models in construction supplies stores. For example, some panels can be covered with paint or that looks like a tile, with hinged or sliding doors.
They do not look like the ones we are used to, but they are functional and look as neutral as possible.
The edges of the tub are plastic
The combination of the wall and the bathtub is an extremely problematic place and everyone who enters the bathroom can see that area. Many people are accustomed to using plastic corners to protect their bathrooms from moisture and dirt.
They are cheap and very easy to use. But these corners are good only at the beginning, because in time they change color, peel off and fall off. And if water seeps into the holes, a fungus can easily form and an unpleasant odor can appear.
An alternative is to use a sealing material or a ceramic liner (marble or granite).
Bright colors for ceramic wall and floor tiles
When you buy tiles, it is very easy to be influenced and choose bright colors.
It can be difficult to combine a bright color on the walls with the rest of the bathroom interior, and sometimes the abundance of color in a small room is bothersome at first glance. We advise you to choose tiles that mimic natural materials, such as wood or stone.
