A room without enough storage space may look quite messy, when clutter is left behind. Your bathroom should be seen as a space that is able to effectively store all your items and equipment, such as hair products, hair dryer, makeup and other personal supplies. 

• You may use vanity drawers for accessible storage of toiletries and medicines instead of using doors
• Cleaning supplies may be stored in doors under the sink which will also keep them out of sight
• Open shelves with wicker baskets are not only a decorative statement, it is also a good place to store your towels
• Make use of off floor storage where it is possible

• Use open cabinetry where the plumbing is exposed and wall mounted sinks to visually open up small bathrooms
• Expand the room with the use of a lighter colour pallet, you can stick with neutral colours and natural minerals for a classic look
• Make the room look wider by having mirror reflect the longest wall
• For a bathroom to look bigger and feel cleaner, opt to use a curb-less shower
• The toilet should not always be the first thing you see in the bathroom

• Soggy damp towels can be hanged using stylish electric towel rails
• To avoid cold floor tiles, have heating installed before you get the floors tiled

• It is a great idea to have a smaller master and separate en suites
• It is more functional to have a separate toilet room, sink and shower if you only have little space available
• Avoid having the toilet in your direct line of sight if you bathroom connects with a shared space such as your living room or kitchen

• It is important to have a ventilation fan if you do not have a window that is directed outside
• The more that the bathroom is used for long hot showers is a cause of poor ventilation. This would often result to high humidity, damp towels, swelling vanity cupboards, as well as mould and mildew problems.
• The vent should be directed outside the building. Take extra precautions if the steam vents into the attic space.
• Use a single switch for the light and ventilation fan by wiring them into one
• Use materials that are moisture-resistant instead of porous materials for your cabinets and vanity to reduce expansion, rot, or discolouration over time.
• When using porous stone like travertine marble and hardwood be sure that they are sealed. Also be careful of soft-wood, non-waterproof MDF, particle board and fabric.

• You may consider using non-slip tiles and mats
• You may choose to have invisible non-slip coating applied to go along the smooth ceramic and stone tiles.

• Personal hygiene such as shaving, waxing, applying of makeup and hair styling will require a good light source
• For an ambient light you may use pot lighting in the ceiling
• Lighten up your face evenly, and remove shadows, by installing task lights on either side of the mirror
• Show-off you bathroom features by adding an accent lighting
• You can still maintain your privacy while capturing natural light by using a skylight
