Step 1: Solve the real problems first (layout + daily routine)
Most bathrooms feel bad for a reason:
- Not enough counter space
- Storage that doesn’t fit real products
- A shower that’s cramped or dark
- A door that fights the vanity
- Lighting that makes everyone look exhausted
Start by mapping your routine:
- Two people getting ready at the same time? Consider dual sinks or separate prep zones.
- Need better flow? Repositioning the shower or toilet can create breathing room.
- Want a calmer space? Reduce visual clutter with recessed storage and clean lines.
Even a small layout change can make the bathroom feel twice as functional.
