Which idea would you like to try in your bathroom?

Neutral shades are a popular pick for bathrooms, but that shouldn’t mean that adding color is totally off limits. In such a small space, color might seem risky — but it’s just the opposite. On a small scale it’s easy to go bold without going overboard.

Here are 10 easy ways to add color into your bathroom design, while still leaving the space feeling clean and put together.

1. Paint first

Practically speaking, paint is the simplest and most affordable way to add a large punch of color to a space. We recommend selecting the shade you want first and then building the rest of the room’s color scheme around it.

2. Opt for an accent wall

If the idea of adding color to the entire room seems a bit too much for your tastes, try doing just one. The key here is to pick the right wall to be your showpiece — you want one with a strong focal point or the one that’s directly across from the door.

3. Play With Colorful Tile

Where tile is concerned, the phrase “less is more” rings true. Gone are the days of covering the entire room in saturated tile. Rather modern bathrooms use colorful tiles to draw attention to a focal point. Use it in a spa-like rainforest shower or as an eye-catching backsplash behind your vanity.

4. Try The Tub

A modern option sure to make an impact is adding a shaded tub. You can choose from a variety of materials such as copper or painted porcelain, but whichever you choose be sure to select hue that you’ll be happy with for a long time to come.

5. Make Your Vanity Pop

When it comes to adding color to a vanity, you have two options: add color to the top or the base. Consider picking one and keeping the other surface neutral for balance. Colorful bases can often be a DIY project and work best on large vanities with cabinet space or shelving. For the countertops, your best bet is to select a colored marble or granite.

6. Use Colorful Towels

Why are towels such a great choice when it comes to adding color: they’re available in every shade imaginable, are relatively inexpensive and super easy to swap out if you change your mind.

7. Focus on Floor Coverings

A bath mat or area rug can infuse color into the space and also has a functional purpose in bathrooms that include a tub or shower. Choose a color that ties into with the rest of your accent shades for a truly cohesive look.

8. Don’t Forget the Decor

One common misconception is that since bathrooms are often smaller than the other spaces in your home, you don’t need to worry about decor items. The opposite is true. A few well-placed decor items are the secret to making this space feel truly pulled together. Consider using candles, baskets or decorative display shelves to really drive your design home.

9. Hang Vibrant Wall Art

A well-placed piece of wall art is an easy way to add a pop of color. Keep in mind when finding wall art for the bathroom, it’s important to take moisture into consideration. Be sure to either choose a water resistant material or add a frame for protection.

10. Bring In Some Greenery

If all else fails to pique your interest, incorporate a little color from nature. Whether they’re real or synthetic, colorful or simply green, a few plants can go a long way to add that pop of color into your bathroom.

Home Organization Ideas

If your home always seems to be cluttered and messy, then you’ve got a problem — and would likely benefit from some home organization ideas.

Perhaps you have too much stuff, or you don’t have anywhere to put all of your stuff away. Most homes don’t come with all the organizational tools you need, so often you’ll have to get creative and find out what works for both your storage needs and for your space.

Start by taking a walk around your house. What types of items are on your floors and counters, or slung on the backs of chairs and across tables? You may have a system of organized chaos going on, but it’s likely that in addition to having unkempt living quarters, you’re also robbing yourself of space that could be used for purposes other than makeshift storage.

Have you been avoiding hosting that dinner party because your dining room is full of all your belongings that have no other place to go? When was the last time that chair acted like a chair rather than a coat rack?

You want to create storage that you’ll actually use, so make your storage system intentional. From unexpected storage in small spaces to smart and innovative ideas, we liked these organization tips for taking advantage of potentially unused or underused storage spaces.

Here are our top home organization ideas.

Under the Bed

 

Under the Bed

You might already be using the foot or so of space under your bed to store belongings, but you may not be taking full advantage of it. Some beds and headboards come with drawers and shelves, but if yours doesn’t, then there are many ways to create your own.

Store seasonal items, such as bulky winter sweaters or rarely used belongings, in deep sliding under-bed drawers.

Under the Stairs

Under the Stairs

There are two ways to look at under-stair storage: You can use the stairs themselves as functional drawers, or use the nooks and awkward spaces created by a staircase to customize your storage. The first option can be expensive, but it offers a huge amount of storage potential.

Integrated in Furniture

Integrated in Furniture

If your space is small, then it’s a good idea to look into furniture pieces that can serve multiple purposes, whether it’s an ottoman that doubles as blanket storage or a couch that keeps remotes and other coffee table clutter out of the way.

On the Walls

On the Walls

Not every home comes with built-ins for turnkey storage systems, which means you’ll need to create your own. If floor space is limited, one option is to take over a wall (or a portion of it) to create floor-to-ceiling shelves, either by configuring them yourself or buying a unit.

Perhaps it’s just a matter of getting your bike out of the entryway by using a wall mount. Whatever you need, there’s typically a lot of wall space in your home that can be taken advantage of for adding things like hanging shelves, hooks or entire storage units.

Closets

Closets

Not every bedroom has a closet. Even if yours does, it might not be designed in the most effective way. If your bedroom floor is covered with piles of laundry, perhaps it’s time to re-imagine how to arrange your closet, whether that means adding another bar for hanging clothes or integrating a system of shelves and drawers.
