It makes no difference whether you live in a tiny studio apartment, in a ready for occupancy condo, or possess a sprawling mansion. Every home has at least one bathroom with a toilet, a sink, and a shower or tub. While the bathroom may not be the most spectacular or private area in one's home, it is one that you will undoubtedly use on a frequent basis. It will also be used by your visitors. As soon as you move into your new place, make sure it's fully supplied with bathroom essentials.
Functional Items for Your Bathroom
Mirror
A mirror is a bathroom must-have for more reasons than admiring yourself and marveling at how lovely you are, or to complete your condo design. It's essential so you can inspect yourself after brushing your teeth to make sure you don't have toothpaste running down your chin, or to make sure that you fully cleansed your face.
Trash Can
It's crucial to have a trash can next to your toilet or sink, no matter how little it is. You may not generate a lot of waste in your bathroom, but if you have visitors, make sure they have a place to dispose of tissues and feminine items. Make it easier on yourself by using a garbage can liner to keep the interior from becoming filthy.
Plunger
A plunger is required in every bathroom. Pipes clog, toilets stop working, and water occasionally floods. In case of a toilet emergency, keep a plunger on hand to make you hassle-free and have a better condo living (if you happen to live at one.)
Toilet Paper
It's not enjoyable to go to the bathroom only to discover there's no toilet paper handy. Toilet paper is one of those items in the bathroom that you can never have enough of. It never goes bad, it never goes out of style, and it will always be used.
Toilet Paper Holder
Toilet paper can be stored in a variety of ways, including a floor basket, a wall-mounted dispenser, and a freestanding paper hanging. If you prefer to store yours somewhere else, keep a replacement roll close in case you run out.
Toothbrush Holder
If you use an electronic toothbrush, you don't need a toothbrush holder, but if you use a manual toothbrush, you'll need one. Place it on your sink or vanity, inside your medicine chest, or in a cupboard next to the sink —that is always available in a ready for occupancy condo. There's no excuse to leave your toothbrush flat on the sink's edge when there are so many small and affordable toothbrush holders available.
Bathroom Basics
Shower curtain and liner
If you have an unattractive shower or tub, choose an opaque curtain that glides easily for instant cover. Consider a sheer curtain to provide some light into the shower cubicle if your shower is acceptable.
Hand towels
You may be as inventive as you want with these. Install a looped towel hook to remind guests to use the hand towel instead of the bath towel! Use a freestanding towel stand instead of drilling into the walls if you don't want to drill into the walls to make your condo design more pleasing.
Bath towels
A set of bath towels is required in every bathroom. A set of 6-10 towels is an excellent place to begin. Bath towels/sheets, hand towels, and washcloths should all be included. Ever plush towels are wonderful for preventing odor and mildew since they dry quickly. They have the feel of cotton but the performance of microfiber and dry rapidly. They also last longer than traditional cotton towels.
Hand soap
You'll need soap for washing your hands on your bathroom counter. You may choose a soap dispenser that matches your condo design, a seasonal aroma, or even a battery-operated or rechargeable soap dispenser. Instead of keeping one guest towel, utilize disposable guest towels that you can throw away if you're sharing a bathroom with visitors.
Bathroom Cleaning Supplies
Toilet Brush.
Toilets have to be washed from time to time, there's no way around it. Get a toilet brush with a stand that you can keep behind or beside your toilet.
Toilet Bowl Cleaner
You can clean several surfaces with different cleaning solutions, but a toilet bowl cleaner makes the work a little simpler. Look for one with an angled neck to make it easier to get up and under the bowl.
Tub And Tile Cleaner
Soap scum isn't going away on its own. Indeed, the longer you wait to clean it, the more it will accumulate and become more difficult to remove. After a few uses, spray down your shower or tub with a tub and tile cleaner.
Glass Cleaner
To make your condo living stain-free, maintain streak-free windows and mirrors! Keep a bottle of glass cleaner under the bathroom sink so it's easy to find when you need it. Keep a roll of paper towels accessible if you have spare cabinet space!
Rubber Gloves
Do you dread the prospect of cleaning a toilet or scrubbing a tub? To make it a bit easier, have a couple pairs of rubber gloves on hand. Gloves are also a wonderful method to protect your skin and hands from harsh chemicals found in some cleansers.
What You Should Skip Buying for Your Bathroom
Lots of decorations
The bathroom is not the place for your next gallery wall or collection, but a few items of decor here and there won't harm you. In general, opting for a more minimalist look in your bathroom is a wise decision especially for a ready for occupancy condo. Stick to basic colors, clean lines, and a minimal amount of clutter.
Unnecessary storage
There are many various storage alternatives for your bathroom that you can purchase - but that doesn't mean you need them. Instead, resist the temptation to acquire multiple containers, buckets, baskets, and bags to put your belongings within. Do you really need the over-the-toilet shelving station unless you don't have enough under-the-sink storage? Most likely not.
