No matter how in love you are in any other room of the house, sometimes, when it comes to the bathroom, couples can quickly turn from cutesy to competitive.
So, don’t let the drama continue! Whether you’re working with a small space or you’ve got plenty of room for improvement, read on for top tips on how to make the most of your space so that bathroom bickering becomes a thing of the past.
his + her sinks = Peace of mind
When you’re in a rush to get ready for work or you’ve got plans to meet the in-laws and are running behind, there’s nothing worse than waiting with a mouthful of toothpaste while your other half has got shaving cream all over the countertop.
Save yourself from the stress by installing ‘his + hers’ sinks. This simple solution will make a world of a difference in those crunch-time moments, and will create a sense of ease and harmony that is sure to eliminate all future (bathroom-related) arguments.
If you’ve got room to play with, consider installing separate units, which gives you the added luxury of your own storage. Alternatively, if you’re looking to make the most of a smaller bathroom, a double basin provides the same piece of mind without overwhelming your space.
Double Vision
Instead of bending awkwardly or balancing on your toes in order to get a glimpse of yourself in the sliver of mirror that your partner is not commandeering, why not take the separate sinks concept one step further and add another mirror to your bathroom?
Whether you opt for matching styles placed over your separate basins or you indulge your inner celebrity with an illuminated option, a second mirror is a simple and immediate way to relieve the frustration that can arise when competing for bathroom time.
For those who want to maximize a small room, a mirrored cabinet has the perk of providing both an extra reflection and more storage. Alternatively, placing a mirror on the back of the door is a space-saving trick that works to make a bathroom seem larger – double benefits!
Get organized!
A bathroom should be a place where you can feel relaxed, even if you’re in a bit of a rush. However, it’s hard to be calm when you’re tripping over towels or knocking toothbrushes on the floor.
Simple additions can make a huge difference in a small, shared space by helping to keep things organized.
Storage features, such as a double robe hook or dual tooth brush holders, mean there’s a place for everything in the bathroom – and no excuses for when everything isn’t in its place!
Sharing is caring
While it’s a vital room when it’s time to get ready to leave the house, a bathroom is also a great place to unwind – and it can be romantic too.
In addition to arranging your space so that it’s as functional as possible, don’t miss out on the chance to incorporate features so you can also enjoy your bathroom with your special someone! When it’s time to get ready to leave the house, a bathroom is also a great place to unwind – and it can be romantic too.
A freestanding bath is a luxury item that couples can appreciate together. Because the taps are located in the middle of the bath, a head can rest at either end, making it a perfect place to take a leisurely soak with your loved one.
Alternatively, you can continue to embrace the ‘his and hers bathroom’ approach and integrate two shower heads into a walk-through shower, creating a contemporary sense of design while also keeping things practical.
With a range of space saving and sharing tips, arguments with your partner about the bathroom can become a thing of the past.
Whether you choose to incorporate simple accessories to control the chaos, or you decide to revamp a major feature, you can make the most of your bathroom and turn competitive time into quality time.
