Wondering what a designer would think of yourbathroom?

“A shelving system with framed family photos seems unnecessary,” she says.

Instead, the designer recommends sticking with one nice art piece in the bathroom rather than going overboard.

Storage Behind the Toilet

Need extra storage?

Utilize the area over or under your sink.

Carbone recommends skipping behind the toilet storage if it is open in style.

Even with your best efforts, they can look sloppy, Carbone says.

As an alternative, opt for more than one hanging area for your towels.

When it comes to housing extra towels, place them on a shelf.

This bang out of storage solution, she says, will “immediately downgrade any bathroom.”

The designer recommends taking a more streamlined approach instead.

Builder-Grade Mirrors

It’s no secret that every bathroom needs at least one outstanding mirror.

“I hate seeing a bare mirror on the wall,” the designer says.

“Swap it for one with a nice frame or fun shape, or even LED lighting.”

You’ll be surprised at how much of an impact a seemingly small upgrade like this one can make.
