Tips to Simplify Your Bathroom Storage

Trying to find storage in your bathroom can be a chore in itself. If you don’t have a large bathroom, disorganization can make your bathroom look messy and unpleasant. Fortunately, we have some storage tips to help you simplify your bathroom storage

Tame the Drawers

An organized drawer means you have space for more stuff. An organized drawer is a simple and practical way to improve your bathroom. An easy solution to organizing bathroom drawers is to use an organizer tray. Organizer trays and similar containers can easily keep small items like brushes, combs, contacts, and similar items, keeping them organized and visible in the drawer.

Contain the Clutter

Use baskets, bins and trays to keep your bathroom organized. Decorative baskets can be used to store neatly folded towels, trays and bins can be used to hold and organize beauty supplies. Plastic boxes are great storage solution for toiletries like lotions, ointments, deodorants and the like. You can also make simple and affordable renovations to your bathroom such as adding overhead cabinets, drawers, and other storage solutions to solve your bathroom storage problems.

Adding Shelves, Hooks and Cubes

Another simple storage solution to improve your bathroom is installing shelves and hooks as well as adding stackable cubes and cubbies. A small overhead shelf can be utilized to store extra towels, cleaning supplies and similar items. Similarly, hooks can be used to keep bathrobes and towels off the floor and hair dryers off the counter. You can also utilize waterproof hooks in the shower to keep bath sponges, loofahs and shower brushes out of the way. Stackable cubes can be used if extra storage space is required.

3 Essential Elements of a Farmhouse Kitchen

Your kitchen is the most used room in your house and your dream kitchen should be a representation of you and your family. Because of this, it’s no surprise that farmhouse kitchens are one of the most popular styles for kitchen this year. These country-inspired kitchens combine elements of a traditional country style kitchen and combines a modern, personal touch. Here are three essentials every farmhouse kitchen should have:

Large Farmhouse Sink and Faucet

A major element that set farmhouse and country-style kitchens apart is the farmhouse sink and faucet. Compared to their traditional counterparts, farmhouse sinks are deeper and wider. Not only are farmhouse sinks attractive, they are also practical to have for large families that have large pans and an abundance of dishes as well.

Simple and Basic Cabinets 

When it comes to farmhouse style kitchens, there’s a philosophy of “less is more” when it comes to design. One of the best places to practice this philosophy is with the cabinets. To best create a rustic feel, opt for simple, neutral tones when picking out kitchen cabinet doors. Natural finishes and white finishes are your best bet for invoking that authentic farmhouse look.

A Touch of Nature

Incorporating natural textiles can do a lot in helping you achieve that authentic farmhouse look. If you want to make a statement, then a rustic wood island is perfect for adding style and utility to your kitchen. Additionally you can incorporate open wood shelving for ingredients and hang decorative wicker baskets to add even more natural textures to your kitchen.

Benefits of an Open-Concept Kitchen

Tired of your kitchen looking small and cramped? Then an open-concept kitchen might be for you! An open-concept kitchen is similar to an open-concept office in that walls and barriers are removed. An open concept often incorporates the dining room in order to make the shared space appear bigger. Here are some reasons you should consider an open-concept kitchen.

Make the Space Look Bigger

The biggest reason people choose to convert to an open-concept kitchen is because it makes the space look much larger. In traditional homes, walls and barriers block your line of sight, making the space look smaller than it actually is.

Increase Accessibility

Another reason that open-concept kitchens are so popular is that the space is much more accessible. Open-concept kitchens allow for seamless transitions between your kitchen and dining room, meaning that you don’t have to worry about accidentally bumping against walls when carrying food from the kitchen to the dining room table.

Brings the Family Together

A kitchen isn’t just a place for preparing meals, but a place for families to share moments as well. It’s where kids do homework, families play games, guests are entertained and long talks happen. An open-concept kitchen is perfect for situations when you need to cook, but don’t want to miss a beat.

Tips for Transforming Your Kitchen

Do you have a drab kitchen, but are planning on having people over for parties this summer? Here are some things to liven up your home with transformations that will have your guests oohing and aahing.

Light Up Cabinets

Install LED ribbon lights inside and low voltage lights underneath your kitchen cabinets. This is a great way to have your favorite China shine and it also helps illuminate your kitchen and countertops.

Glass Cabinets

Add style to your kitchen with glass insert cabinets. You can display china, crystal or fun-looking dinnerware in one of the most popular areas of the house. During a non-eventful week, it is also an easy way to help recall what goes where when putting away the dishes.

New Light Fixtures

Make your kitchen stand out with pendant lamps. Choose energy-efficient lighting that will not only brighten up the kitchen, but also help you save money on your utility bill.

Update Your Backsplash

If you’re feeling creative consider placing a kitchen backsplash of mosaic tile, subway tile, or even decorative ceramic tile. A kitchen backsplash is both beautiful and function because it protects walls from cooking oils and messes. You can even continue around the sink window and on other walls.

Stainless Steel Appliances

Add a crisp, clean look to your kitchen with stainless steel appliances. These kitchen items are easy to clean off fingerprints or food-related goop.

New Countertops

Get rid of old, damaged countertops with new ones that will withstand even weekly entertaining. There are many unique and durable materials that will be great for party food prep or family meals. Plus, new counters will also add beauty and style to your kitchen.

Hanging Plants

For a natural element, consider having flowers and plants hanging in your kitchen. Place hanging plants near windows so they can grow properly and add color to the space.
