Ugh!  Sharing a bathroom can be a sticky situation, overflowing with controversies, like “who’s toothbrush is this?!”  Need help clearing the air?  We found simple solutions, all at O.co!

 

1.     Reverse it!  You can’t always tell which towel is his and which is hers, but with this patterned, reversible bath set, you can keep the white side up for you and the dark side up for him.

 

 

2.     Divide and Hide! Keep it closed when it comes to storing bathroom essentials.  This cabinet duo takes up little wall space over the toilet and has two separate compartments for his and her toiletries, holding all those hair gels, razors and essentials.  It’s stylish, separate and concealed.

 

 

3.     Step on it!  Small wool rugs are soft, absorbent and colorful in a bathroom and cost effective too, keeping floors dry and warm underfoot- any foot!

 

 

4.     Separate but equal!  Nothing looks better in the shower than a wire basket attached conveniently to the wall, keeping his and her razors, shampoos, and soaps within easy reach.  You’ll need two!

 

Updating Your Powder Room

Updating your powder room is extremely fun and simple. Due to the uniquely small nature of powder rooms, you can add big effect with minimal time and money. A coat of paint can make a huge difference. Even if the rest of your house is painted classic neutrals, consider color with punch for your powder room. The small size gives you plenty of leeway to play with fun colors that you may not want on a larger scale in bigger rooms in your home.

Another simple fix is the hardware. Quality hardware can be relatively inexpensive and extremely simple to install. Updating the handles on drawers and vanities can make a tremendous difference when updating. And all you need is a screwdriver and a little elbow grease to install!

Another fun way to create a new look for your powder room is to establish a theme. Again, the unique size of this room creates the opportunity to play with motifs that you ordinarily would not want to use on a larger scale.  To create a fun theme use “found objects” creatively. For example if you choose a garden theme for your bathroom, use a pretty garden pail for a trash can, a little watering can to hold fresh or silk flowers, or a toy metal wheelbarrow as a soap dish.
