Cool life hacks for the bathroom: how to take into account the needs of all family members

If you are at the stage of planning a bathroom renovation, then it is advisable to provide for some little things that can make life much easier. This is especially important when there are children, elderly people, and animals in the house.

Moreover, not a single idea seems excessive if you strive to ensure that everyone in the bathroom is comfortable and comfortable. By the way, some points are aimed at the safety of residents, so we advise you to think about them and then implement them.

Holder for hair dryer and straightener

This detail will be very useful for those women who struggle with curls and/or unruly hair almost every day. The holder is installed on the wall near the sink or, if you don’t want it to be conspicuous, then on the inside of the cabinet.

Firstly, it is convenient - while you are selecting a strand to dry or to shape it, the device can be placed in the holder. Secondly, this to some extent helps to clean up the bathroom, because now the equipment will not be scattered throughout the room, and you will always know where it is.

Razor stand and shaving brush

In some stores you can also purchase special stands for the convenience of men who shave their facial hair every day (or less often) at an affordable price. You can store various accessories in them: machine, brushes, foam, lotions. This is quite practical, because this way they dry out faster, and therefore the razor will not rust from excessive moisture, and the bristles will not fall out of the brush prematurely. In addition, there is no need to look for a place where they will come into contact with other accessories or surfaces, and therefore get dirty faster.

Place for feminine personal hygiene items

When planning renovations and purchasing furniture or accessories for the bathroom, few people think about this delicate moment. In general, for some reason it is customary to store feminine hygiene products somewhere in the far corner, or even in a drawer in the bedroom, which sometimes causes a lot of inconvenience.

An interesting option is a small cabinet at arm's length from the bathroom or a small closed container, decorated in accordance with the shade of the room itself - this is not only practical, but also looks nice. A wicker basket is also a good idea.

Cabinet lock

A detail that will ensure the safety of your children is special latches on the drawers. By the way, you don’t have to waste your money and put all the especially dangerous items in one cabinet, and buy a lock for it. This way you will be sure that the children will not get into the place where there are sharp razors, dangerous household chemicals and other aggressive products.

The principle of operation of such a latch is quite simple - it is fixed on the side of the door and is almost invisible, which means it will not spoil the appearance of the room.

Organizer for cosmetics

Another convenient solution for the female half of humanity.Such products will help organize competent and careful storage of cosmetics, and will also prevent clutter and visual noise in the bathroom.

Lock with sanitary screw and escutcheon

In general, this moment is designed not only for children and the elderly, but also for all family members. Avoid locks in advance that can only be opened from inside the bathroom. It is best to look at the option with a wrap or a locking plate. With such things, the door can be opened from the outside. This is especially important if there are children in the family.

Refrigerator for creams

Some skin care products require special storage, usually in the refrigerator. Sometimes it is very inconvenient to go from the bathroom to the kitchen to get the right cream to use. To make things easier, you can purchase a mini-fridge designed specifically for this purpose. Yes, the idea seems too wasteful and impractical, but those who have more than one cream in their arsenal that requires cold storage will understand the importance of such a purchase.

Toy basket

When a baby appears in the house, not only the living room and nursery, but also the bathroom are filled with toys. Everyone knows that there are special entertainment for swimming, which, as a rule, are stored there.

In order not to create clutter in the room (and this often happens), it is recommended to purchase special baskets that are resistant to moisture and store toys in it. It can either be hung on the wall or placed on the floor.

Velcro mat

This mat has suction cups that fix it to the surface of the bathtub and prevent a person from sliding along the bottom. You can choose a variety of product options: bright or nondescript, oval-shaped or in the shape of an animal, of various sizes.

In addition, such a rug, if it is bright, distracts the attention of children who do not really like hygiene procedures. It will also be useful for older people, because with age it becomes more difficult to get out of the bowl. Thanks to the mat, you can avoid injuries and dangerous situations.

Handrail for bathtub or shower

People with limited mobility and grandparents may have trouble getting out of the bathtub or shower stall. In such situations, installing special devices - wall auxiliary handrails - will help. These things will ensure the comfort and safety of older people during hygiene procedures.

Combined products deserve special attention. They can be equipped not only with the handrail itself, but also with a shelf, soap dish and other useful accessories.

Bath or shower chair

Not everyone has the opportunity (or even the desire) to drill into a wall to install handrails. In this situation, there is also an ideal solution - buying a stool. It is usually made of moisture-resistant material (often plastic). This is a rather convenient solution for those who find it difficult to stand while taking a shower. Ideal for older people.

Dog ladder

If the animal does not know how or simply does not want to jump into the bath for some reason, then problems may arise with its bathing. You need to help your pet and buy a ladder. By the way, this thing is also useful for children at the stage of learning to brush their teeth or wash their face - this will make it easier for the baby to reach the sink and tap. However, do not forget to insure your child so that he does not fall down those stairs.
