When it comes to upgrades, the bathroom can be quite tricky. You might have to turn your bathroom upside down to convert it into a den of comfort, efficiency, and cleanliness. So what if you live in a Filipino household, and your bathroom does not have that much space for expansions? Consider these five tips to help you level up your bathroom.

Add A Mirror Above The Sink
Place a framed bathroom mirror above your sink to add a decorative piece to your bathroom. A mirror allows you to check your reflection when washing your face, brushing your teeth, shaving, or applying skincare products. Additionally, you double your sink as a vanity area if your bathroom isn’t that spacious.
Elevate Your Sink
Create more space elevating your sink. Vessel sinks, such as those in some of The Rise Makati’s units, are suitable as they have counter space where you can store products, lighting, and bathroom decor. If you are worried about vessel sinks occupying too much space, opt for a sink without a pedestal. You get to save space while still elevating your sink.
Vessel and pedestal-less sinks are also perfect for making room for your bathroom slippers, cleaning products, or cabinets to hold towels and bathrobes. These types of sinks are also easier to clean.
Install A Jet Spray
It may sound strange, but most Filipino bathrooms have a bucket and dipper called tabo. Filipinos use this to bathe and clean up after using the toilet, as toilet paper isn’t commonly used. But there are bathrooms where the toilets are far from the bathing area, making it a hassle to wash up.
Installing a jet spray beside the toilet is a convenient and more sanitary way to cleanse yourself after doing your business. You wouldn’t have to worry about touching unwanted objects in your toilet and your trash bin piling up with foul-smelling and dirty toilet paper waste.
Make Room For A Bucket And Dipper
Thinking of expanding your shower area? Make room to fit your bucket and tabo. Position your faucet and shower just right above where you want your bucket to be. Doing so allows you to fill up your bucket with water quickly. While it may sound ridiculous to keep a shower and a bucket of water in the same area, using a bucket and dipper saves more water than using the shower.
Mount Hooks And Racks
Keep your towels and robes clean and dry placing them on hooks or racks mounted on your bathroom wall. Placing hooks or shelves on your wall is an efficient way to expand bathroom space and maximize vertical storage while giving your lavatory as much space as you need. It also keeps your clothing and towels dry while you bathe or use the toilet.
Upgrading your bathroom doesn’t have to be expensive. By understanding which methods save you water, expand space, and create a welcoming environment for your bathroom, you’ll be steps closer to transforming your lavatory into a den of comfort.
