Space Saving Series Part 2: The Bathroom

Continuing with our SPACE SAVING SERIES,

We bring you ... the BATHROOM.

Many bathroom spaces can easily become cramped, but there are plenty of times that they "seem" cramped solely because of the materials used.

See below TIPS we've decided are the best!

1. Wall Mounted Toilets and Faucets :

This saves countertop space and provides for a seamless look!

2. A Toilet/Sink Combo:

This one just cracks us up. I mean, how do you use this sink? Do you stand to the side, or straddle the toilet? Let us know in the comment section what YOU think!

3. The Floating Vanity:

Lifting the vanity off the floor doesn't "save" much real space but visually gives off a more open and airy feel which makes the rooms seem more spacious

4. Clear Glass Shower Surround:

Similar to the floating vanity, a clear glass surround helps the room not to feel closed in or cut off.

One thing we always seem to need more of is storage.

The bedroom is one of the places that always seems to attract clutter, but one of the places that you least WANT clutter.

Here are a few tips we've found that come in handy when clearing the clutter from your bedroom.

Best Space Saving Tricks

The biggest question everyone always has ... how can I make more space in my home?

What tips and tricks do we have, you ask??

Well we have a few tricks up our sleeves that utilize our creative brains ;)

1. Utilize multifunctional furniture: There are so many options on the market today. From integrated wine storage, to retractable desks and dining tables, using one piece of furniture for multiple purposes will always help to save space in the end.

2. Put your items on display: Like we designed in this french style kitchen, this open shelving concept encourages you to keep things tidy and organized, which in the end helps to not accumulate clutter.

link

3. Construct storage wherever you can: Do you have a blank wall or open space that is unused? Add built in bookcases or chests for storage and shelving.

link

4. Change spaces you normally overlook: Turn your world upside down and look at places in a different manner. You might see an opportunity for a strange shaped cabinet or a new design that helps save you space in the long run.

link

5. Add a loft: This requires a bit more planning and money, but if you are really looking to add space to your home, adding a loft can be a unique, and purposeful.

Good luck as you begin your space saving venture!!
