How To: Level Up Your Bathroom
Does anyone else think it’s weird how much time we spend in our bathrooms but how little effort we put into designing them? Hopefully it’s not just us, because we’re here to help with some easy hacks to level up your bathroom!
1. ADD SOME GREENERY
You’d be surprised how dramatically a few plants can brighten up a room. Consider adding some greenery in your shower, around your sink, and anywhere and everywhere else you feel inspired to put it. You do you.
If you need us, we’ll be busy drooling over this dream bathtub.
For those of us who don’t fall into the “responsible plant mom” category, we’ve got your back. This easy DIY creates the same greenery effect without the care requirement. Hanging eucalyptus from your showerhead will make your bathroom smell like heaven and transform your shower into a steam shower. The best part? You can pick up these bad boys for only $2.99 at Trader Joe’s. We know you needed another excuse to go, you’re welcome.
2. INVEST IN YOUR SHOWER EXPERIENCE
We see no reason showers can’t be one of your daily highlights. Showers are YOU time and nothing else can get to you in there. So you should be living your best life, right? Consider investing in a waterproof speaker so you can have a true dance party while washing your hair. We recommend a shampoo microphone. While you’re at it, check out these glass holders. If you want to enjoy your favorite beverage in the bath… we won’t tell.
3. PURGE
Have a million beauty samples under your sink, in your drawers, or simply scattered everywhere? You’re not alone. They feel impossible to get rid of because we never know when the perfect occasion to spoil that tiny lipstick sample or one-use shampoo will arise. Take it from us, it’ll never be the right time… so let that sh*t go! Donate it, recycle it, whatever you need to do. Clearing out that space is a game-changer and will create room for new and exciting things.
4. UPGRADE YOUR MATS AND CURTAINS
If you’ve got the cash, this is your sign to treat yourself to a new shower curtain, bathmats, or towels. Go for a bold pattern with neutral colors to balance, or decide on a color scheme. This is a great way to express your style and make your bathroom feel more like your space.
5. ACCESSORIZE YOUR WALLS
To pull together the room, throw some art up on those walls. Think photos, quotes, things that make you feel happy… surround yourself with that energy as you’re getting ready first thing in the morning. If you want to go a step further, get a stick on backsplash or wallpaper. This will take your bathroom (and mirror selfie game) truly to the next level, like aesthetic Instagram bathroom good, without upsetting your landlord.
6. COORDINATE YOUR STORAGE
Coordinating your bathroom storage can be so pleasing to the eye. Plus there are countless options to express your personal style or aesthetic. If you need a starting point, consider going with an all-glass vibe for a more classic, minimalist look or finding storage that fits in your color scheme.
7. FINISHING TOUCHES
A quick deep clean will do wonders for your bathroom experience. Wipe down your counters, shower, and mirrors… they’ve been through it. With the cleaning out of the way, you’re free to add some finishing touches. Our personal favorite is topping off your new look with your favorite scent. There’s nothing better than a candlelit bath to wind down at the end of the day.
Obsessed with these vibes.
