Moving into a new house can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. You get to design and decorate your new place from scratch, transforming it into a home. However, this requires that you either have all of the necessary stuff to turn your house into a home or that you purchase the necessary items so that they are ready for move-in day!

The restroom is one of the most frequently overlooked and overlooked areas. It’s critical to have everything you need to make your bathroom efficient, clean, and stylish for your family and visitors. Not sure where to start? I’ve made a checklist for your bathroom supplies-related wants and needs.

First Things First: Assess Your Bathroom Needs

Begin by considering who will be using the bathroom, since this will have a significant impact on the design you ultimately select and how you plan the space layout. Is it going to be a two-person en-suite shower room? Or perhaps a family bathroom with a bath and plenty of toy storage?

Next, consider the type of space you want to create. Are you looking for a haven to retreat to, or are you looking for a basic bathroom for your family’s needs? Answering this will have an impact on the fixtures, fittings, and colour scheme you select. A spa-style retreat will require a large list of specs and fittings, such as a bath, separate shower, double basins, and plenty of storage, including a towel rack or rail, but a guest bathroom may only necessitate a shower and toilet.

Instead of only focusing on how you presently use your bathroom, consider how you would like to use it. Draw on your experiences visiting wonderful spas, for example, and imagine how you want your new plan to work. And whatever the plan is, your hygienic needs are still a priority, so here goes the list with the basics you can buy online at your bathroom supplies store:

Get Your Towel Bundle

The number of towels you require is determined by the number of bathrooms in your home, as well as the number of people who live there, how frequently you do washing, and whether you want to have overnight guests. In general, you should have two bath sheets per person and at least two hand towels per bathroom.

With towel bundles, you can save money on your new home buying. It’s simple to find sets that include four or six bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths. You will not only have enough bath linens, but you will also save money by purchasing them from the bathroom supply store in a set. The perfect solution for shopping smarter!

Choose the Shower Curtain

A shower curtain for each bathroom is required in every new home. Shower curtains are available in a variety of designs that complement the classic neutral tones seen in the towel line. There’s something for everyone, from textured stripes and hand-knotted fringe to speckles, cloud cotton, and waffle weave. Shower liners and rings are also required for the complete look.

Pick a Bath Mat and Rug Combo

Bath mats should be replaced every two to three years. Bath rugs may give a new aesthetic that lasts even after your bath mat is gone for washup and maintenance. Look for sturdy bath mats and rugs made of quality material such as Turkish cotton, which is ultra-soft, absorbent, and luxurious underfoot.

Make a Statement with Bathroom Accessories

Aside from toilet paper, make sure your bathroom includes soap, hand towels, a toilet brush, and a trash can. Shop at the bathroom supplies store for hand soap and hand cream, as well as self-care items like makeup cloths and aromatherapy bath salts, when looking for the perfect bath accessories. And if you like to go above and beyond, there are ways to create a luxurious bathroom experience.

Don’t Overlook the Mirrors

You can use single or numerous mirrors if you have enough space and a wide vanity, such as a double vanity. How many mirrors should you hang above your vanity in the bathroom? If you want to give your room a vertical feel (especially if you have high ceilings and want to emphasise the vertical area), use two vertically long mirrors. Choose a single, broad mirror to accentuate the breadth of your room or to create the appearance of space in a small bathroom. Even if there is only one sink, you can use many mirrors to make the space look bigger.

Innovative Storage Solutions

Consider little tables, compact cosmetic shelves, and etageres with baskets for added storage in your bathroom. Don’t forget about the space behind the toilet and above your mirror vanity. Another innovative solution for a room that lacks built-in storage: wrap the sink in a pleated fabric skirt. It adds a softer dimension, colour, and pattern, and, most importantly, it conceals unsightly items like plastic storage containers without costing a fortune.

Create a Mood with Lightning

Good bathroom lighting ideas can make a small bathroom appear larger and a large bathroom feel more private, whether it’s your ultimate spa-like hideaway or a busy family bathroom with a fresh, clean atmosphere.

As with any design project, the best place to start is with an analysis of the space, its qualities, and how it will be used. Most bathrooms are readily divided into three zones: the vanity, the bath, and the shower.

Task lighting is typically focused around the vanity. Here, intense light is required, but consider putting spots or LEDs in vertical rows along the side of mirrors rather than above to provide a more appealing light with fewer shadows. Mirrored cabinets with incorporated lighting are a simple yet efficient solution for small spaces.
