How to Step Up Your Bathroom Experience in Time for Winter
Different parts of a property take on different meanings depending on the time of year. During the summer months, the backyard becomes a key area for socializing and relaxing. In the winter, it’s mostly forgotten about.
In the chillier periods, it’s the living room, bedroom, and bathroom that become extra important. With that said, while most homeowners make an effort to create a cozy environment in their bedroom and living room, they can often overlook the bathroom.
Yet there’s a lot of value in working to elevate your bathroom experience for the winter months. When the temperature is near-freezing, having a spa-worthy bathroom can be worth its weight in gold. And it absolutely makes it easier to get up on those cold mornings.
Looking for some inspiration on how to give your bathroom a boost? We’ve got you covered. Take the tips we’ve outlined below on board, and you should find that your bathroom is more inviting and cozy than ever.
Deep Clean Your Bathroom
You could take on board every other tip in this article, but if you’re dealing with a dirty and cluttered bathroom, then you’re unlikely to enjoy the space as much as you should. Giving your bathroom a spring-cleaning-worthy deep clean will give you the foundation upon which you can create your winter bathroom masterpiece.
Take everything out, wipe and clean every nook and cranny, and get rid of any items that aren’t serving a purpose. Since bathrooms are typically small, you should find that the whole job takes only 1 – 2 hours.
Upgrade Your Shower Experience
A nice, warm shower can be a treat at all times of the year. During the winter months, it’s an outright luxury. There really aren’t too many things better than stepping into a hot shower when you know the outside world is chilly.
And with a couple of changes, you can ensure that your showering experience is as inch-perfect as possible. Upgrading to a high pressure shower head can provide better water coverage and a massage-quality effect, while adding an aromatherapy shower steam will provide a spa-esque environment. Both these options are affordable, yet can provide a dramatic upgrade.
Heat it Up
The water of the shower may be warm, but what about everything else in your bathroom? On those chilly winter mornings, it can be a little less-than-pleasant to step on those cold bathroom tiles.
Heat up your bathroom, and you’ll be much happier to get out of bed and into the shower. Underfloor heating would be nice, but unless you’re undertaking a full bathroom renovation, it probably won’t be possible. Instead, look at adding a small space heater, warm bathroom mats, and a heated towel rack. The towel rack is especially recommended, since it’ll help ensure you stay toasty and warm once you’ve stepped out of the shower.
And after you’re dry? Invest in new fuzzy warm slippers, pyjamas, and a robe set in time for winter so that you can sink into all the relaxation the season brings to the fullest.
