Minimalism may seem like a daunting task, but with the right tips you can craft a cozy sanctuary that’ll make your bathroom feel more spa-like than ever!
Get ready to pamper yourself as we explore seven ways to turn any restroom into an ideal relaxation spot.
The bathroom is a mysterious place, where the mundane and grandiose can intersect.
It’s one of those domestic spaces that serves so many roles — single-handedly catering to family needs all in its own!
Whether you prefer sleek modernity or rustic charm, styling your restroom with luxurious details could merely be as simple as picking out decorations at your favorite store…or call up some pros if you want something extraordinary.
Minimalist bathroom tips
Keep the bathroom clean
Who said cleaning had to be boring?
For minimalists, it’s the perfect way to add some calm and harmony into their lives.
The bathroom might seem like a pain point – after all, it gets used daily so dirt can build up fast!
Do yourself a favour and set aside time each day for quick maintenance: clean your mirrors with white vinegar or give your sink & vanity top an extra shine.
And don’t forget about those showers & bathtubs that need regular attention too!
In no time at all you’ll have achieved ‘clean-topia’ but only if you make sure not keep procrastinating on what matters most…
Fewer products and objects
Before minimalism, I was guilty of hoarding excessive amounts of personal hygiene products – body wash being top on the list.
Needless to say, this obsessive shopping habit created a massive money-waster for me – especially as my taking baths doubled or even tripled in duration due to using up all those soaps and potions
My advice?
Take an honest inventory of your cabinets by categorizing items like shampoo, soap etc., then check expiration dates and get rid off anything past its prime.
No more wasting time (or money!).
Not familiar with the shelf life of your beauty products?
Don’t worry, you can just give them a sniff test!
If that jar or bottle smells ‘off’ (or feels funny!), it’s time to toss it – better safe than sorry.
Beauty isn’t worth risking an unpleasant dermatologist visit!
Browsing the aisles of your favorite store in search for bathroom goodies can be tempting, but beware!
You don’t want to invest too much into material goods that will eventually go down the drain.
Instead, only buy items like body wash and shampoo when you’re on empty – no need to stockpile these little luxuries until they take over yours shelves.
Improve your organization
Whether your bathroom is big or small, it always pays to be organized!
With some clever storage solutions such as rectangular baskets and retractable shelves for maximum verticality – you should have no problem creating a Pinterest-worthy space.
Not forgetting towels of course – store them in drawers or linen closets if necessary; the most important thing when tidying up?
Ensuring everything has its place!
Transparent glass jars to decorate
When decorating your bathroom, steer clear of over-the-top adornments as they’re only destined to end up damp and dusty.
Instead, treat yourself with glass storage jars where you can keep all the necessary toiletries like cotton balls or gauze pads – just think how cool it would look!
You can even add a touch of glamour by opting for liquid soap dispensers in gorgeous colors.
Glass is truly great when it comes to bathrooms since humidity won’t destroy its beauty and wiping off dirt will be super quick too!
Bathroom plants
Add some life to your bathroom with plants!
But before you get ready for a jungle theme, consider the type of light and humidity in the space.
Depending on those components, there’s something that’ll work just right.
If it’s mood lighting that fills up most of your restroom then opt for lucky bamboo while a larger area can take big steps with snake plant grandeur.

Big mirrors
With their expansive reflections, big mirrors are the secret to unlocking your bathroom’s potential.
Illuminating small spaces while creating an open atmosphere – they’re perfect for apartment living! The only trade-off?
That added surface area means more intensive weekly cleaning sessions.
But with state-of-the art lighting like white LED, you’ll be able to see it all and make that bright sparkle last longer than ever before!
Lighter colors
No need to be a purist – give your minimalist bathroom some personality!
White doesn’t always have to mean boring and sterile.
Why not try mixing it up?
Contrast white walls with light grey floors, or consider giving the accents like vanity an eye-catching wood finish, for instance Fresca’s deep rich option that never fails at bringing warmth.
