I’m going to have as much natural light as possible in my cottage build. My apartment bathroom vanity lighting is brutal in summer. So, I’m in Los Angeles and it’s super warm, I’m having a hot flash, and the lights are cooking my face. Why are vanity bulbs so hot 🥵?
I settled back on my sofa for a short afternoon break. You said, "baskets are our buddies". I immediately paused the video, ran upstairs to the attic, pulled out three baskets, went straight to the master bathroom and tried them on top of a cabinet. I had toilet paper stored in with the towels but they kept falling behind the adjacent drawer space. Not only does the basket look good, but it serves a good purpose! Thanks for the idea and the quick workout!
OMG I LOVE THIS!!! 🤣❤️So glad that those baskets now serve a great purpose than collecting dust in the attic!! 🙌🏼 Who would've thought that using things you ALREADY have can make your space look EVEN better?! 😆Thank you so much for sharing this, I love that I could inspire you to get up and solve a problem you once had!!! 😘💞💞
I have a little bathroom. Decided to make it look bigger by showing off height. 45in mirror and my shower curtain rod placed at the top of ceiling. We also used a super high gloss paint for ceiling to bounce light
Kim!!! What a great way to make your bathroom bigger - use your height!! 👏🏼Seems like you know what you're talking about!!! 💖🤗 Thank you so much for sharing this, I am sure everyone in the comments is going to LOVE this tip!!! 🤩💕🌟
My approach to small bathrooms is not to load the room up with lots of awkward shelving and junk and dust collecting baskets above the toilet or under the sink. Doing so just creates too much visual clutter and makes the tiny bathroom look smaller and over stuffed. I say keep it simple and declutter. If you need a million small tubes and jars find a vanity that offers you drawers - limit the amount of stuff you keep to what you actually use and organize it, add in a few extra hand towels washcloths and spare toilet paper in trays inside the drawers. Keep the visual space in the room as decluttered and open as possible so that the room looks as big as possible and you aren’t overwhelmed with how to negotiate arms elbows and knees that could be bumping into upper or lower shelves as you figure out how to negotiate doing your business in this tiny space and remember, you are going to have to clean this room and all this stuff. I also found it interesting that none of the bathroom images looked particularly tiny and that when it came to talking about lighting - every image showed high end completely decluttered bathrooms with nary a shelf or basket visible.
Agree and they gather so much clutter and dust - more work! Why would you use wicker baskets and store piles of towels openly in the bathroom? Steam, dampness = smelly, mouldy baskets and towels. Not everyone has a good extractor system.
I've been thinking about adding high shelf storage recently. When you mentioned using the space "over the loo", I burst with pride for my husband who built a diaper changing table that hangs up over our toilet and then folds down (ONE handed) to use it! It's perfect! Doesn't get more "sexy" than that!!! hahaha
One of my bathrooms has a cabinet and shelves over the toilet, gives lots of storage in a small full bathroom, the toilet is in kind of a nitch so it works well,
I just ordered a beautiful makeup table for my bedroom and just received email that it’s out of stock….bummer. I can’t wait to sit and makeup leisurely.
You don't have to store _everything_ in your bathroom. If your bathroom is tiny it is enough to have one spare toilet paper roll in your bathroom, for example and the other ones are stored somewhere else.
Not storing your make up and jewelry in the bathroom also makes those items last longer since they are not getting the excess humidity and micro particles of waste
If you have a small bathroom, chances are you have a small house. So storage anywhere is going to be a challenge. My bathroom is 8 x 5 that is including the bathtub. It's basically tiny living when you have a small bathroom.
@@solidstate9451 hence why grandma said “chances are”. Meaning it’s likely that your house is also small, not that the scenario described is always the case
Well, if these are examples of “tiny” bathrooms mine must be not in design literature. Interesting ideas though that I may try to incorporate. Thank you.
R!!! 🤩🤩 It's SO hard to find high quality images of truly TINY bathrooms to use in these videos!! 💚 But don't worry - these tips are made with REALLY small spaces in mind!!!! 🌟 I wish the visuals matched the ideas in this video a little better, but I'm SO glad I could share some tips you might use!!! Let me know if you try them - I want to hear how it goes!!!! 😘💙 Thank you so much for watching!!! ❤️🥰
@@karenmagner7047 When you're searching, also include skoolies/bus conversations & van conversations & tiny houses. Tons of great ideas (also some not so great, but you've gotta decide that for yourself)
I love the idea of an over-the-door shelf. But…..I’ll have to figure out a place for a stool so I can get the towels up there. Also, I have a little cupboard in my half bath above the loo. A tip : close the toilet lid before removing items from the cupboard. 😧
Love your teeny tiny tips! I was never a fan of hanging towels on hooks until I owned a 700 sq ft lake house that sleeps eight and has one teeny tiny bathroom. Now all 8 have a place to hang towels. Also maximized the space over the toilet with a cabinet. There is a bin for each guest for their personals. Everything is out of site and looks neat and tidy. It certainly was a challenge!
OMG Donna look at you go with these AMAZING small space solutions!!! 💙🌟 I'm a HUGE fan of both of these options...good for you making that lake house bathroom SHINE!! 🤩🤩 Thank you SO much for sharing your success with all of us in these comments...I LOVE hearing about you guys' projects!! 🥰💚
Oh, my flat had one of those when I moved in (rented). I flipping hate it, in general. Specifically, I don’t know who installed but I’m sure they lacked the necessary skill set. It is noisy as a freight train. My downstairs neighbour has the same door. You can hear almost everything in this building (thank the stars there are only 4 tenants). Hers are as noisy as mine so we know each others 🚽 schedules whether we want to or not. I am still pushing for an outward swinging door. Heck, I’ll put a warning bell on it like a truck in reverse, would still be less noisy. The door is not flush, so let’s just say, nothing is private. That’s only ok for a hermit (thankfully I’m close) but it’s ridiculous. Glad you’re situation worked better. Wish me luck 🚪
For my night light, I have a super dim battery-operated candle. Just enough light so you can find your way around without glaring in your eyes when you're half asleep. Adds a lot of ambiance, too, for when you're not stumbling around in the middle of the night. I really like it a lot as an alternative to the overhead glaring light I use for putting on makeup in the morning.
I was just complaining about the lighting in our bathroom to my husband and he offered to change the bulbs. I was frustrated, but now I'm showing him this video!
Hahaha... so you did your part by complaining... how could he not spring to immediate action.. it’s like he doesn’t appreciate how difficult complaining is!
Lisa - you are fantastic. I’ve used your ideas for small rooms with “angles.” Did all white - made the room look so much bigger and bright and punctuated my art. Color can be brought in with so many varied ideas as you suggest.
YES Vicki!!!! 💙 I absolutely LOVE hearing that you guys are able to use these tips for your projects...that's exactly why I made this channel in the first place!! 💚🥰 SO glad we're on the same page about adding color to small spaces...just because you're working with a neutral palette on your walls doesn't mean you have to miss out of color!!! 👏🏻💕 Absolutely LOVE this comment...thank you so much for tuning in, and thanks for sharing your success with all of us in these comment!! 😘😘
Hi Lisa, thanks so much for these wonderful tips. I was just slightly dissapointment as the bathrooms you showed were not "teeny tiny" but normal size. I was looking for design ideas for true teeny tiny bathroom with 3 piece & not tons of empty floor space. Perhaps you'll revisit this topic again. Thanks again. Be well.
I did the white, and the color I popped in is black. 🤪 shower curtain, rug, and art work. My bathroom is 4’x6’. Whoa, say what? Curtain has an image of black rocks that have drops of water on them and a bamboo that’s green. The art work is much the same with a green plant 🌱 thrown in it. I also have a shelving unit above the toilet that has succulents, in cute cement planters. I wanted totally what I thought would be opposite of the bathrooms I saw as a child, the ones with a beach vibe, or a person is living under the sea with the plastic or plaster seahorses. No shells, no blue, no wallpaper clouds. It is small, it’s a rental, it’s functional. But I don’t feel cramped. Thank you for all your video content. It’s the best. 🥰
E!!! I love this!! 💕💚 SO interesting how our childhoods influence our style - good for you for branching out and finding what you LOVE!!! 👏🏻👏🏻 It sounds like you've got all of the small space bathroom techniques DOWN - keep up the good work!! 🌟 Thank you SO much for tuning in and leaving such a super sweet comment - you guys are the best!! 🥰💙
Some of the “tiny” bathrooms in your photos are gigantic compared to my truly tiny bathroom. My entire master bathroom measures 5’ x 6’. My sink vanity is only 24” wide. I hate doing my hair and makeup in such a small space. I placed a cabinet above the toilet for extra storage space and several years ago a carpenter installed a several shelves within the wall with a door to keep it hidden. I also purchased a small shelf from IKEA that I placed on the wall for a little extra storage, but it’s still so small and cramped in there.
I now do my makeup in my bedroom too. I have put my old white study desk under the bedroom window (where most people would put a lowboy) with a standing magnifying mirror on it, to be my vanity. close by is a floor reading lamp with an adjustable neck, for getting the right angle of light on my face. My core makeup is in a basket nearby. I actually sit down at my vanity to do my makeup; it makes me feel a bit like a hollywood actress of old (well sort of). it's quite nice actually, after decades of doing my makeup standing up in a bathroom. I still do my hair in the bathroom, but only because it stops hair ending up all over the bedroom floor.
@@sct4040 I was going to suggest that-IN NYC I had a thin make up mirror in a basket with my make up-stored under my desk, I would put on the make up and put everything back in the basket. It worked.
Thank you, Lisa! My husband and I are 2,000 miles away from our home, renovating a 400 sq ft ski condo at the moment. We rent it out when we aren't using it, so it's a challenge trying to create spaces that look good, but don't break the bank and make the spaces flow better.
I like the idea of having a recessed cabinet above the toilet 🚽, very useful and does not take much space! I will definitely recommend it to my clients.
Thank you for showing smaller bathrooms. I'm in a small apartment. I don't have a large luxury bathroom so I am getting some useful, practical tips that I can actually implement.
I have a large square tray that is white with splashes of colour that I use to put my makeup on (and over). Helps protect those counters and isn't blaringly obvious as it somewhat blends with the counter
Love you lady. I’m stuck here in the hospital doing battle with Covid and you make be feel better already. So many great ideas, makes me get anxious to be home and introduce some of these wonderful tips.
Dian!!!! Sending you TONS of LUV and great healing energy to beat that crappy virus!!!! Be sure and join the club, there's Tons more coming there as well! xoxoxoxo We're thinking of you!!! xoxoxoxo
Um. My *main* bathroom is only 5’x8’. The tub takes almost 3’ out of the width. It would be great if you could do a video showcasing bathrooms which weren’t a) huge and b) designed in the building planning stage.😬
I think some of these bathrooms showcased in the video are considered Wet Rooms. I have never seen this in the U.S. The idea is that the shower is not enclosed. There is a floor drain...kind of like a public swimming pool locker room. So you stand under the shower head and the drain could be under you or the center of the floor. I do not think I am brave enough to try this in my own home!
I’m intrigued that US bathrooms never seem to have heated towel rails, which are everywhere here in UK . They dry your towels to perfection and are cosy to use!
We bought a free standing unit and hardly used it. The towels dry overnight anyway and the bathroom was always toasty so we never needed a warmed towel. We donated the rack .
I recently moved into a Scandi-modern townhouse, and my natural style is Scandi-folklore-boho. The bathroom is all neutral-modern ice white in utilities and tiles. And no window. Been totally stumped until I realised I have this huge Indian teak boho-style cupboard - it’ll swallow towels, baskets, general storage, and the rest of the bathroom can be a quietly complimentary-neutral style from there - creamy-sandy naturals, sage green, baskets and so on This is extra perfect bc that gorgeous cupboard needs moving from where it’s currently at: too big, too dark, too boho
Katarina!! YES, utilize that cupboard and add some life to your bathroom!! 🤗that is going to compliment your style very nicely!! 😍🙌🏼 THANK you so much for sharing this and for including me on your Saturday morning!!! 😘🧡🧡
Some great storage ideas here Lisa, thanks. I so agree about not using strong colours. When I first moved into my tiny flat I painted the wall where the basin hung in coral. Fabulous colour. Trouble is I looked like an umpalumpa when I looked in the mirror! It was repainted white within a week. Years later bathroom has been totally remodeled in palest of grey with white suite and (very) small touches of colour. So much better.
OMG Gail EXACTLY!!! 🌟👏🏻 I am such a color fan...but when it comes to things that will really effect the lighting I'll be getting ready in, I ONLY trust neutrals!! 😂😂 LOVE that you've found a better palette AND figured out how to add some color...way to go!!! 💕🤩
I am watching this for a second time. I plan to turn an unused back hallway into a walk-by closet and the Ikea planner says it's even more hanging space than our current walk in closet. I don't like our current walk-in closet at all. It's adjacent to our too-small master bathroom and gets steamy, not good for clothes. I am currently drawing plans to clear the current walk-in closet contents to the unused back hallway and combine the current walk-in closet with the current bathroom while upgrading and adding plumbing. To the toilet and shower current line-up, I want to add a French door to a new enclosed deck with cooling tub outside while inside a bidet/shower combo and dressing table/sink combo. I'm very excited, in case you were wondering why I comment so much! So far I am working on drawings, have picked all the materials and am very close to creating a budget!
OMG Melody that is SO exciting!!! 💕👏🏻👏🏻 I LOVE how well you're maximizing your space...SO smart to turn the current closet into a bathroom expansion!!!! 🤩DEFINITELY keep me updated...I love hearing all about you guys' projects!!!! 🥰💚
YAY I am so glad I could give you some FUN bathroom tips!!! 🤗🛁 You guys have been asking for this one, so I delivered!!! 🤪 LOL Thank you so much for tuning in and sharing all the love!! 😘🥰❤️
Yet another excellent tutorial! I work for a retail store in Melbourne selling homewares, towels, cushions, quilt covers ect. I often tell my customers to tune into your videos for inspiration. I always learn so much. Thanks from the land of OZ.
Awww Maria this is just the BEST compliment ever!!! 🥰🥰 I am SO honored that you trust me with your customers - that really means the world to me!! 👏🏻💚 Thank you SO much for this super sweet comment - totally made my day!!! 💙😘
Im wheelchair bound. Master bath has a roll in shower. A small closet. And nickel towel racks. And sink has no storage underneath. Or on floor near toilet. Recessed lighting in shower and center of toilet sink . Over mirror 4 bulbs lighting for makeup application. Brown, beige consistent tiles in all baths and into kitchen backsplash. And barn door in brught red. One red tub for excess clean towels in nickel open shelves over toilet.
Wait, I thought this was about hacks for a "teensy tiny bathroom"??? But I see and hear you talking about the MAIN bathroom! I'm good there. But could you help me out with the teensy, tiny bathroom that needs to be totally redone? I would really appreciate that.
Well sometimes the main bathroom is tiny so this applies to that, why don't you simply use some of the ideas like the neutral palette since they work so well in small spaces
You are awesome. Love your voice, enthusiasm, and passion for design. You're a really good communicator. Thanks for the plethora of design ideas and tips galore.
Angela!! What a sweet comment - THANK YOU!!!! 😍 You guys are always hyping me up, I don't know what I'd do without you guys!!! I am ALWAYS here to help solve your small space designs!! 👏🏼💕🥰
I inherited my family home complete with a tiny second bathroom tiled with Mamie Eisenhower pink tiles bordered in black. I was going to remodel but actually I fell in love with it. The wall above the chin high tile I wallpapered with Martinique style paper with a white background. The toilet and sink are white. I absolutely love it. It's unique and beautiful. It makes me smile when I walk In. There is a window at head height on the side wall so I get natural light by which I put my makeup on with no problem. Small pink bathrooms are a treasure. The main bathroom is neutral. I rarely use it as it is boring by comparison.
I would literally decide to spend time in that bathroom luxury bath, wine, candles play Frank Sinatra / Dean Martin have a date w/ myself read decor books while spilling wine by candle light nothing feels better than being taken back ❤️ ice cream & Champagne always ready for a pink room regardless of where in the house.
I love your videos SO MUCH. Yes, that deserves all caps. 😊. I’m doing an entire house reno, and I knew I needed some kind of modern shelf storage for a guest bath…..that first example of vertical storage was perfect! I love that guests can see the amenities, and don’t have to feel awkward about opening a door to a cupboard or a closet to get something. Now to find that shelf…..
Oooh Dawn YES!!! 💚🤩 I'm SO glad I could show off a solution that might work for you!!! 💕💕 That particular example was from an architect in Toronto I'm pretty sure...I wish I had a link for you!!! 💙 Thank you SO much for this SUPER sweet comment...and good luck on your shelf hunt!!! 😘😘
Lisa - I’m renovating a small house for a friend. The master shower needs to be re-done, from shower basin up. I chose a large rectangular tile (white). The tile guy suggested that I run the tile INSIDE the shower vertically to give the illusion of height … and if placed horizontally, the illusion of greater width. Opinion please …
Very timely!! Our main bathroom is soooo small and I am starting to renovate it. If we were going to stay here I would consider expanding it, borrowing some space from our overly large bonus room next to it. So these tips are FABULOUS. One thing you did not mention was ceilings. The builder that built this house put - brace yourself - popcorn texture on the ceilings even over the bath/shower combo. (Insert Scream). It has GOT to go. Once that is done and the ceilings are flat and smooth, the ceiling will be painted the same very light colour as the walls to be making it an envelope. Sorry, my walls will NOT be white. I spent far too many years in white apartments that just ended up looking dingy, dirty, and utterly boring and just NO THANK YOU to any more white walls. But it will be a light neutral colour of some sort that makes me feel happy! (As I did in my last house.) My shower curtain will also be hung ceiling height and that is where my colour will come from along with my towels. Totally going to steel the idea of recessing a cabinet with doors over the toilet. Genius!! Another thing I am going to do that many designers today have nightmares about... my countertop is going to extend over the toilet - a banjo I think they call it. I don't care!!! I like to have easy access to kleenex that doesn't get splashed by water and my husband likes his battery operated radio handy. The banjo potion over the toilet is where the kleenex and radio hang out. Sad but true! LOL (Other than liquid soap, nothing else is on my countertop. ( I hate clutter and open shelves require clutter.) Bonus points will be the banjo will provide space to place items taken out of the genius recessed cabinet over the toilet!!
TOTALLY Squally!! 💕👏🏻 Whenever you're doing any sort of detail oriented work, it's SO important to be able to see whats going on!! 💙🌟 You know me and my task lighting!! 😂😂 So glad you could catch the video this week - we miss you at the premiers!! 😘😘
I've put battery task lights up high next to the door. They're not noticeable in the room but they light the bathroom on your way in at night. I also have them at the foot of the bed and so when my feet hit the ground, my path is lit to the bathroom. No more bumping my feet into the door trim in the night.
Madison!! Those strip lights can be SO USEFUL for those very reasons!! 👏🏼 Plus they make your tiny bathroom look VERY luxe!!! 🤩💁🏼♀️Thank you so much for sharing this - glad to know that someone else is a BIG FAN of this type of lighting!!! 😝💜
This was an excellent video! The strip lighting as a night light in the bathroom is a wonderful idea. I already use a plug in night light, but this is so much prettier. And utilizing the wall space behind/above the toilet is brilliant.
Lizard!! I am such a HUGE FAN of these strip lights!! 🤩 They look SO LUXE and are perfect for the nighttime!!! 🌟💚 Thank you so much for watching and leaving this sweet comment, I just LOVE chatting with you guys in the comments!!! 🥰🥰😘❤️
I have a proper lighted make up mirror on top of my antique vanity in my bedroom. Frees up a lot of space in the bathroom, plus now i have all kinds of drawer space for cosmetics, etc.
In my tiny powder room, instead of painting it, I hung a huge piece of art in colors that I like. It is lovely and makes you want to not stay for too long:-)
LOL Cathy!!! Now that's a strategy!! 😂❤️ No hogging the bathroom!!! 😆 Art is always a good way to add a splash of color to a space...love that you've found a piece that works for you!! 💕💕 You guys KNOW I love a bold powder room - sounds like you're NAILING it!! 🤩 SO glad you could join us for another week of design fun - you rock!!! 💙😘
nice looking brushed nickel finish with multiple water spray options Our master bathroom has a standing shower with handheld shower head. We started to see some rust spots in the hose not to mention heavy mineral built ups in the shower head because our house has very hard water despite water softener we have. My wife picked out this handheld shower head to replace our old one because she loves the brush nickel finish to match our bathroom decors but this turned out to be very impressive handheld shower head. Although I have replaced shower heads many times in the past, it came with nice instruction on how to replace it for those who's not familiar with it. My only advise would be to use wrench to hold the base spout when removing and installing the holding adapter so you don't accidently twist and damage the base pipe when you over tighten it. I really appreciate that it came with plenty of plumber's tape because you really want to put that on before connecting different parts so that there's no water leak in between threads. This is one of most common mistakes and reasons why there's leak after installing it. Very happy to see that they have provided plumber's tape to remind you to use it! It also had rubber rings/washers in each connector but it also came with extra one, which is nice. They also included a shower drain cover to prevent hair from going in to the drainage, which is a nice bonus. I really love the brush nickel finish, which makes it look elegant and expensive. The 7 different water spray setting is nice to have so you can change it for different purpose. We will most likely leave it on one setting for most of the times but it's nice to have option to change it when needed, such as jet spray for cleaning the shower wall, etc. After replacing the shower head, I didn't see any leak and the stainless steel hose feels sturdy. I also like that I can rotate and tilt the shower head holder and it stays in place. Overall, very happy with this shower head! amzn.to/3gVZIrH ( AMAZON )
My son just bought a small home and I send him your vids on maximizing small spaces. He needs all the help he can get! 😄 Thanks, Lisa! Always Fab ideas and tips.
Nancy!! How funny you sent your son over to my channel - he definitely will be in good hands with my tips!!! 🤣🤣❤️ Thank you so much for sharing the love and being part of this AMAZING community!!! Truly blessed to have you guys here as family!!! 🥰💜💐
Lisa, I watch a lot of videos like yours, but you are the queen. I love your enthusiasm and the really great advice. Thanks so much. This tiny bathroom storage one is going to help me so much. Never thought of the high space being wasted. Love this.
Marje!! You have NO IDEA how much this comment has warmed my heart!! Thank you!!! 🥰 I am so glad I can always share the BEST organization tips to help your tiny bathroom out!!! 🛁💙 Thank you for all the support, it means SO much to me!!! 😘💕✨
Such great information and beautiful examples! You made me do some thinking. I have a white master bath (with great lighting of course) and have added shades of green in the rugs, towels and green-ish botanical prints on the walls. You made me think of putting my orchids in there because there is great sunlight for them and my husband just built a beautiful shelves above the toilet. They will look great and will love the humidity! Thanks Lisa, you're a doll!
OMG Marilyn!!! 💕👏🏻👏🏻 Have you been looking at my instagram?? 😆😆 I LOVE adding some plant accents to bathrooms!! 💚👏🏻 You're totally right - it's a great place for flowers that crave that humidity!!! 🤩 SO glad I could get the gears turning on this FABULOUS idea - don't forget to let me know how it turns out!!! 💙
The tips come at the right time. After a renovation, I am redesigning my bathroom in my studio in the city. In my big bathroom in my house, none of this is so complicated. But in my very small bathroom without daylight in the city, there is much more to consider. Vertical storage space and baskets are also my options. Thank you, I love your handy hints and tricks...design solutions and last but not least your sense of aesthetics!
Helena!!! Talk about perfect timing!!! 🤣 SO glad I could share some ideas and tips for your upcoming renovation, you HAVE to tell me how it goes!!! 😍👏🏼💗
Very useful info for me in planning my cottage build! I’m currently in an apartment, so I’m limited. But, I use a 3M removable hook on the back of my bathroom door. It’s great for my “dressing gown collection “ I’m so impressed that Lisa is not only a designer - but also a magician 😂
Marnie!!! Never doubt a 3M hook, those things are TOUGH!!! 😆👏🏼 I am so glad that I could share these yummy tips to you for your future cottage build!! That is going to look so DIVINE!!!! 😍💖
You can also buy an outlet that screws into where the lightbulb goes that’s already in the ceiling or wherever… And then you can still scoop the bobbin but you can attach strip lighting to that lightbulb as well
Clicked on the video out of curiosity since we’re planning to buy a house in the near future and instantly subscribed. Love your upbeat personality ❤️❤️❤️
Bella!!! YIPPEEE welcome to the channel, THANK YOU for subscribing!!! 🥳🎉Seems like you found my channel at the right time!! 🤣 LOL Thank you so much for saying hi and being part of this amazing community!!! 🥰💚
I appreciate the tips about the lighting, big mirror, and over the toilet shelves. Currently I have some 8x10 picture frames behind the toilet, but now I'm re thinking that to put some shelves behind it for extra towels, tp, soap etc. I have a small 1/2 bath on my main floor that I wanted to do something with, because that's where my guests will be doing their business. It's literally a toilet and vanity. So I really appreciate some new tips to maximize the look of the space but not make it feel like a cluttered over done mess. Thanks!
Hi Lisa! I confess that I’m one of those who regularly watch your channel but got lazy and not subscribed! Today I said to self “do it”. So, subscribed. I think you are adorable and love your tips! My bathroom is tiny with a window over the toilet and I tried putting a medicine cabinet on the wall opposite the sink but it sticks out too much and can’t even stand straight in front of the sink. Trying to think of ways to add storage and your tips help! Thank you and look forward to your next video!
Thank you. I am so glad you said go wild (not your exact words) on powder rooms because I recently painted mine in lime green with lilac accent wall on the sink side. I do plan to apply my make-up in this room. I can sense you cringing from where I am here in Ontario! 🤪 Well I have great ideas in my mind's eye but it never turns out how I thought it would. Thankfully the powder room is only a temporary one for a few years while we decide how to renovate the extension it is housed in. We tore out the very old avocado bathroom set and built in cupboards, floor, walls and ceiling and replaced everything to make it a sanitary space. It had been neglected for decades by previous owners. At least it's clean and fresh now and people say it's cheerful and pretty. Now on to the main bathroom that has a floor space of only 59inchesx65inches'. My plan was to paint (yep I bought the paint ☹️) the accent wall (toilet and sink wall 59 inches wide ) in matt black, with small checker board style black and white floor tile and everything else white, even the shower curtain, trim and door. The house is mid-century modern in a rural setting. So again as I mentioned in an earlier comment I am not sure whether this idea is too contemporary for the rural farmland setting. Now after watching this video I am thinking all white walls with black accents ie black and white floor tiles, shelving etc. Am I catching on? Sometimes I get married to an idea, go buy the paint, sometimes apply it and then realize my artist's brain needs to stick to painting canvases! 😜. I think one if my problems is that I am a visual artist who loves colour but my husband feels uncomfortable with colour and always picks neutrals. So after many years of not wanting to rock the boat I have started to assert myself. But I think I am going too far. After watching your video on small spaces I stopped myself painting two walls of our small dining room that is part of the living room and hallway... in vivid red. I was going light grey on all other walls with white ceilings . I even bought the red paint. I think our colour and style preferences are so much a part of our emotional life and who we are that we can get ourselves caught up in a tug of war with others and not be able to see the woods for the trees. Watching your videos have made me question why I become married to an idea. What is driving my decisions? I can imagine you have learned to work with couples where each person has different tastes and helped them come to a compromise without one overpowering the other. I imagine there is a lot of skill involved in that part of your work. Often what happens with our home is that we can't agree on anything so it gets left for years. Then I get frustrated and do something drastic on impulse because I am fed-up with it looking old. For example I painted our 70inch by 60inch entranceway in charcoal grey 5 years ago. It transformed the space and looks great but....as it is connected to the living space and the living space didn't get painted at the same time, I am concerned it will look like a black hole if I am not careful about what colour to go with. So perhaps I will end up repainting the entrance. 🥺😩😖. You are teaching me so much and helping me to build know-how and confidence. I so appreciate you!
OMG this comment!!! 👏🏻👏🏻💕 I SO hear what you're saying and I can TOTALLY understand...becoming attached to your vision is definitely part of being a creative person!!! 🤩🤩 I love your approach of following your gut but also thinking critically about your decisions...SO important when making decisions that will hopefully last for years in your home!! 😂❤️ I am SO honored to just be a part of your creative process, and I LOVE hearing that these videos have been helpful!! Thank you soooo much for tuning in and sharing all of your creative ideas - hearing from you guys is so fun!!! 😘💙

I remodel and reconfigured a 6x8 bathroom,. Did the whole room in White with a porcelain marble look floor with a mat finish. I did a large mirror also
You mean a toilet bowl in a closet with a pull chain flusher and then another closet-ish nook in the spa e where there might be a stand alone shower? That’s my besties NYC bathroom I remember lol
It's doable, what you need to upgrade to maximize the space, its getting an inwall hung toilet, a corner shower, a double door or more medicine cabinet, and installing a pocket door. Adding recessed cabinets, will also help. They all require alot of work, but I did it to my bathroom, just watching YT videos.
To help everyone keep their germs to themselves I've purchased a bunch of facecloths in colours to match my bathroom. They are rolled and placed in a basket on the counter and visitors can pick a colour and use it to dry their hands while they are in the home. Always make sure there is space for them to hang it up
Oooh D this is SUCH a good idea!! 💕🌟Especially now that we're all a little bit more aware of high touch surfaces!! 😂💚 I LOVE how much I learn in these comments...thank you SO much for sharing this tip!!! 🤩💙
Lisa ... you’re brilliant, I live in England so most of us have small bathrooms here , fantastic ideas as always you are such a talented interior designer, thank you 😊
OMG Julie!! 💕😘 This is just the SWEETEST comment!!! 🤩🤩 I've spent a little bit of time in England myself, so I TOTALLY know what you mean!! 💙 Maximizing i just SO important...and it's totally doable!! 👏🏻👏🏻 SO glad I could share a few of my favorite tips with you this weekend...thank you so much for the kind words!!! 🥰💚
Holaaa Lisa !!!.. I have a small bathroom but you can always get some ideas to change and not bore the space,... gracias por tu trabajo, lo admiro y agradezco, que pases una linda semana 😘🤗🌹
Mara!! SO glad you enjoyed this video and that I could give you the BEST ideas for your bathroom!!👏🏼👏🏼 ¡¡¡MUCHAS gracias por este dulce comentario y por sintonizar este AM !!! 💖🤗
Thanks for the great advice. One correction: daylight is not ~3000 k. It's more like 5500 k, which often feels very blue in interior spaces. People generally prefer warmer light, which aligns with your suggestion. My lights are all 2800-3400 k.
Please don’t place your towels above toilet. It’s not sanitary, when you flush, the particles float all over your bathroom and will sit on toothbrushes and towel. Towels stay fresh when away from humidity of a bathroom after all. Close the lid when flush, it will reduce the nastiness in the air. However, if you have a huge bathroom then go crazy and place all your towels in the bathroom;))
Thank you so much for sharing this light!!! 👏🏼 Love reading all the fun tips you guys have to share in the comments!!! 🙈💕 Thank you so much for tuning in this AM!!! 🙌🏼☀️😎
Agreed, I have a tiny bathroom but everything is kept in a cupboard and I never keep my toothbrush in the same room as the toilet, just a no from me. If it goes in your mouth it doesn't share the same room open air style, pretty easy guideline.
Yes!!! 👍🏻 we are not Barbarians! Close the lid… it is only meant to be open when using the toilet. 🚽 seeing the open bowl of the toilet is gross. 🤢 Elevate your manners. Please keep the lid closed.
Am I the only one who keeps their toothbrush in the cabinet? I concur with the people who point out the utility of the toilet seat to reduce the contagion of which you speak.
That is very true Adele!! It can give the potential buyers an opportunity to imagine what they would do with the space!! 😉👏🏼 Thank you so much for tuning in and sharing this nifty tip!! 💗🌟🤩
I am in NYC and my bathroom is not tiny but it's not large. Your suggestions are fantastic and I can't wait to use them. As always you are very generous with your information how can everyone not subscribe. Love your teaching style.
Thank you, thank you. 🤗🤗🤗 Absolutely so excited now. You just solved a problem we have with our small powder room. And will be copying it starting tomorrow... THANK YOU

Thanks Lisa - we have a tiny bathroom that badly needs renovating but we go round and round in circles with the design. There’s just too much choice 😱🤣
OMG Hazel I SO get that...bathrooms can be TOUGH especially if you're just not sure where to start!!! 💕👏🏻 I definitely want to do even MORE videos on this topic...but I'm so glad this one helped!! 💚💚 Sending you all of the good luck, and don't be afraid to shoot me questions in my Q&A box at www.lisaholt.com/q-a-submission!! 🥰🥰 Thank you SO much as always for the sweet comments, and thanks for tuning in this week!! 🌟😘
My only bathroom is a 5x7 space with 1950’s pink tile covering most of it. I painted the walls dark gray and have a lighter gray vanity with white top. Accent color is red. I have a hallway linen closet for towel/cleaning supply storage, and my makeup table is in another room under natural light. None of these ideas apply to a tiny 1950’s Cape Cod. Guess we have different definitions of “tiny.” LOL
Oh my GOSH Yes! I just moved into a 1950s cape cod house and this is so true. No cabinet space and towel go in a TINY 2x7 closet in the hallway. I will definitely be implementing some of these ideas!
Oh Lisa, I so wish you would tackle all these tough spaces, bathrooms, kitchens, etc. for universal design. We are saving for remodeling our kitchen, master bathroom and living room, but we don’t know where to start. And to further complicate things, I am totally disabled, and need to plan for wheelchair access in the future. So, saving, when you don’t know how much you should be saving, for changes, that you don’t know you should be making, is really crazy making.
Catherine!!! I got you!!! You have to sign up for the Dezign Club, I'm launching it THIS September!! 🥰 I will be doing TONS of project tutorials to get you guys started on solving your design needs, hosting webinars, and SOOO much more on there - how exciting!!!! 👏🏼💖 Plus we are going to dive into a lot of solutions for wheelchair accessibility!!! Send me your email here www.lisaholt.com/thedezignclub and I will send you all the details!!! 😉💗✨
Soper!! LOVE to hear this as always, thank you!!! 🥰🥰 So glad I could share some yummy design tips for TINY bathrooms!! Thank you so much for tuning in and supporting the channel!!! ❤️🤗
Wow, Lisa! Another chock-full of info video!!! I’m in the middle of a master bathroom remodel right now, and you have affirmed all of my design choices. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and doing it in such a user-friendly and fun way. 😘
A feature I was so impressed with in a bathroom (in a museum, different space, I know) was that the hand towels were mounted under the mirror at each sink. I let visitors know they were there rather than watch them looking around in frustration or waiting for a dryer to become available. (Yes, i worked there.) The mirror had been built out form the wall. What I also really appreciated in the bathroom was that the walls of each bathroom stall came very close to the ground for extra privacy. Very lux, I thought, but then the whole museum was like that.
Oooh Melody this sounds absolutely FABULOUS - what a fun place to work!!! 💕👏🏻 I ALWAYS can appreciate good design, no matter where it is!! 💙 LOVE that you still remember those little details - thank you so much for sharing them with us!! 🥰💚

Very nice. My efficiency is 550 sq feet. Where’s a hamper solution - Ty!
I’m going to have as much natural light as possible in my cottage build. My apartment bathroom vanity lighting is brutal in summer. So, I’m in Los Angeles and it’s super warm, I’m having a hot flash, and the lights are cooking my face. Why are vanity bulbs so hot 🥵?
Using the vertical space
I'd love to know where you lived in Europe!
This is an excellent video ! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I settled back on my sofa for a short afternoon break. You said, "baskets are our buddies". I immediately paused the video, ran upstairs to the attic, pulled out three baskets, went straight to the master bathroom and tried them on top of a cabinet. I had toilet paper stored in with the towels but they kept falling behind the adjacent drawer space.
Not only does the basket look good, but it serves a good purpose!
Thanks for the idea and the quick workout!
OMG I LOVE THIS!!! 🤣❤️So glad that those baskets now serve a great purpose than collecting dust in the attic!! 🙌🏼 Who would've thought that using things you ALREADY have can make your space look EVEN better?! 😆Thank you so much for sharing this, I love that I could inspire you to get up and solve a problem you once had!!! 😘💞💞
Thanks for those Great ideas.
Cute
I have a little bathroom. Decided to make it look bigger by showing off height. 45in mirror and my shower curtain rod placed at the top of ceiling. We also used a super high gloss paint for ceiling to bounce light
Kim!!! What a great way to make your bathroom bigger - use your height!! 👏🏼Seems like you know what you're talking about!!! 💖🤗 Thank you so much for sharing this, I am sure everyone in the comments is going to LOVE this tip!!! 🤩💕🌟
@@LisaHoltDesign watching and learning as I go! Thank you so so much!! :)
Excellent idea! I'm going to hang my shower curtain higher I have a very small bathroom but I have cathedral ceilings
That is a wonderful idea! 👌🏼
I make my own shower curtain, this way I can make it extra long and extra wide for fullness.I use small grommets for the top.
My approach to small bathrooms is not to load the room up with lots of awkward shelving and junk and dust collecting baskets above the toilet or under the sink. Doing so just creates too much visual clutter and makes the tiny bathroom look smaller and over stuffed. I say keep it simple and declutter. If you need a million small tubes and jars find a vanity that offers you drawers - limit the amount of stuff you keep to what you actually use and organize it, add in a few extra hand towels washcloths and spare toilet paper in trays inside the drawers. Keep the visual space in the room as decluttered and open as possible so that the room looks as big as possible and you aren’t overwhelmed with how to negotiate arms elbows and knees that could be bumping into upper or lower shelves as you figure out how to negotiate doing your business in this tiny space and remember, you are going to have to clean this room and all this stuff. I also found it interesting that none of the bathroom images looked particularly tiny and that when it came to talking about lighting - every image showed high end completely decluttered bathrooms with nary a shelf or basket visible.
And where do you put you bath stuff? In my tiny linen closet outside the room?
Agree completely- can’t stand open shelves pretty much anywhere (except bookshelves) visually cluttered and makes any space look smaller
Agreed I've been learning a Lot about decluttering instead of storage stuffing I Needed it!!
Agree and they gather so much clutter and dust - more work! Why would you use wicker baskets and store piles of towels openly in the bathroom? Steam, dampness = smelly, mouldy baskets and towels. Not everyone has a good extractor system.
I've been thinking about adding high shelf storage recently. When you mentioned using the space "over the loo", I burst with pride for my husband who built a diaper changing table that hangs up over our toilet and then folds down (ONE handed) to use it! It's perfect! Doesn't get more "sexy" than that!!! hahaha
HAHAHA!!! Your' right that's downright SEXY! I LUV it! xoxoxo
One of my bathrooms has a cabinet and shelves over the toilet, gives lots of storage in a small full bathroom, the toilet is in kind of a nitch so it works well,
I've had a makeup table in my bedroom for over 20 years - wouldn't be able to live without it!
I envy you.
My makeup table is a necessity since I share the bathroom with my husband.
I just ordered a beautiful makeup table for my bedroom and just received email that it’s out of stock….bummer. I can’t wait to sit and makeup leisurely.
Be you❤
HEY GUYS!!! Hang out with me and my team during LIVE chat on the premier!!! Looking forward to seeing you guys!
💛
Bummer I missed the live premier today! See you next week Lisa......stay cool
You don't have to store _everything_ in your bathroom. If your bathroom is tiny it is enough to have one spare toilet paper roll in your bathroom, for example and the other ones are stored somewhere else.
Not storing your make up and jewelry in the bathroom also makes those items last longer since they are not getting the excess humidity and micro particles of waste
If you have a small bathroom, chances are you have a small house. So storage anywhere is going to be a challenge. My bathroom is 8 x 5 that is including the bathtub. It's basically tiny living when you have a small bathroom.
@@grandmaraps In older houses bathrooms are small without the house being small....
Not every house has an abundance of storage.
@@solidstate9451 hence why grandma said “chances are”. Meaning it’s likely that your house is also small, not that the scenario described is always the case
Well, if these are examples of “tiny” bathrooms mine must be not in design literature. Interesting ideas though that I may try to incorporate. Thank you.
R!!! 🤩🤩 It's SO hard to find high quality images of truly TINY bathrooms to use in these videos!! 💚 But don't worry - these tips are made with REALLY small spaces in mind!!!! 🌟 I wish the visuals matched the ideas in this video a little better, but I'm SO glad I could share some tips you might use!!! Let me know if you try them - I want to hear how it goes!!!! 😘💙 Thank you so much for watching!!! ❤️🥰
...same...
Yeah, my bathroom is literally 6x6', and this includes a radiator, toilet, pedestal sink (aka no storage), and a clawfoot tub 🙃
Mine, too! Maybe I should look at what they do for RV/camper bathroom storage!
@@karenmagner7047 When you're searching, also include skoolies/bus conversations & van conversations & tiny houses. Tons of great ideas (also some not so great, but you've gotta decide that for yourself)
I love the idea of an over-the-door shelf. But…..I’ll have to figure out a place for a stool so I can get the towels up there. Also, I have a little cupboard in my half bath above the loo. A tip : close the toilet lid before removing items from the cupboard. 😧
A place for stool.. in the bathroom stool goes in the toilet. Where else would you have been putting it? Wait, don’t answer that...
Lol
Oh you made me laugh, yes close that toilet lid!
Great tip, I've also learned to keep the plug in the sink. Too many butterfly backs from earrings have gone down there!
I use a folding stool that I rest against the wall behind the door
Love your teeny tiny tips! I was never a fan of hanging towels on hooks until I owned a 700 sq ft lake house that sleeps eight and has one teeny tiny bathroom. Now all 8 have a place to hang towels. Also maximized the space over the toilet with a cabinet. There is a bin for each guest for their personals. Everything is out of site and looks neat and tidy. It certainly was a challenge!
OMG Donna look at you go with these AMAZING small space solutions!!! 💙🌟 I'm a HUGE fan of both of these options...good for you making that lake house bathroom SHINE!! 🤩🤩 Thank you SO much for sharing your success with all of us in these comments...I LOVE hearing about you guys' projects!! 🥰💚
What about dust on open shelving? No one ever talks about dust. Besides the dust factor, you have a lot of very practical ideas! 👍🏼
I always think about that too. And besides the wooden storage and wicker basket grows mould after some times in smaller bathroom.
Yeah I think dust and ick when things are in baskets and out in the open. And things over the toilet... kind of ew. : )
What about windows??
I replaced the inward swinging door in my postage stamp sized bath with a rolling barn style door.....made the space so much more usable!
Oh, my flat had one of those when I moved in (rented). I flipping hate it, in general. Specifically, I don’t know who installed but I’m sure they lacked the necessary skill set. It is noisy as a freight train. My downstairs neighbour has the same door. You can hear almost everything in this building (thank the stars there are only 4 tenants). Hers are as noisy as mine so we know each others 🚽 schedules whether we want to or not. I am still pushing for an outward swinging door. Heck, I’ll put a warning bell on it like a truck in reverse, would still be less noisy. The door is not flush, so let’s just say, nothing is private. That’s only ok for a hermit (thankfully I’m close) but it’s ridiculous. Glad you’re situation worked better. Wish me luck 🚪
The problem with high up storage is reaching it. Carring a ladder into the bathroom to get a towel is the pits
Precisely. At five foot one, vertical option is not an option for me. Sorry 😂
Dollar store reaching arms really are great
Yup
For my night light, I have a super dim battery-operated candle. Just enough light so you can find your way around without glaring in your eyes when you're half asleep. Adds a lot of ambiance, too, for when you're not stumbling around in the middle of the night. I really like it a lot as an alternative to the overhead glaring light I use for putting on makeup in the morning.
Love love baskets for storage (hiding) and hooks for towels to dry - you MUST dry the towels people!
Hahah YES Erica!! 🤣 Hooks are VERY important in the bathroom!!! 👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you so much for watching and tuning in this AM!!! 💕🥰❤️
I was just complaining about the lighting in our bathroom to my husband and he offered to change the bulbs. I was frustrated, but now I'm showing him this video!
Rhea!! I hope this video helped out your dilemma and convinces your hubby to upgrade that lighting!! 😝💜
Hahaha... so you did your part by complaining... how could he not spring to immediate action.. it’s like he doesn’t appreciate how difficult complaining is!
Lisa - you are fantastic. I’ve used your ideas for small rooms with “angles.” Did all white - made the room look so much bigger and bright and punctuated my art. Color can be brought in with so many varied ideas as you suggest.
YES Vicki!!!! 💙 I absolutely LOVE hearing that you guys are able to use these tips for your projects...that's exactly why I made this channel in the first place!! 💚🥰 SO glad we're on the same page about adding color to small spaces...just because you're working with a neutral palette on your walls doesn't mean you have to miss out of color!!! 👏🏻💕 Absolutely LOVE this comment...thank you so much for tuning in, and thanks for sharing your success with all of us in these comment!! 😘😘
Hi Lisa, thanks so much for these wonderful tips. I was just slightly dissapointment as the bathrooms you showed were not "teeny tiny" but normal size. I was looking for design ideas for true teeny tiny bathroom with 3 piece & not tons of empty floor space. Perhaps you'll revisit this topic again. Thanks again. Be well.
The restrooms shown were humongous actually.
Yep. My bathroom is really tiny. My flat is tiny and the bathroom looks like an afterthought.
I did the white, and the color I popped in is black. 🤪 shower curtain, rug, and art work. My bathroom is 4’x6’. Whoa, say what? Curtain has an image of black rocks that have drops of water on them and a bamboo that’s green. The art work is much the same with a green plant 🌱 thrown in it. I also have a shelving unit above the toilet that has succulents, in cute cement planters. I wanted totally what I thought would be opposite of the bathrooms I saw as a child, the ones with a beach vibe, or a person is living under the sea with the plastic or plaster seahorses. No shells, no blue, no wallpaper clouds. It is small, it’s a rental, it’s functional. But I don’t feel cramped. Thank you for all your video content. It’s the best. 🥰
E!!! I love this!! 💕💚 SO interesting how our childhoods influence our style - good for you for branching out and finding what you LOVE!!! 👏🏻👏🏻 It sounds like you've got all of the small space bathroom techniques DOWN - keep up the good work!! 🌟 Thank you SO much for tuning in and leaving such a super sweet comment - you guys are the best!! 🥰💙
Some of the “tiny” bathrooms in your photos are gigantic compared to my truly tiny bathroom. My entire master bathroom measures 5’ x 6’. My sink vanity is only 24” wide. I hate doing my hair and makeup in such a small space. I placed a cabinet above the toilet for extra storage space and several years ago a carpenter installed a several shelves within the wall with a door to keep it hidden. I also purchased a small shelf from IKEA that I placed on the wall for a little extra storage, but it’s still so small and cramped in there.
I do my makeup in my bedroom by a window. Only toiletries goes in the bathroom.
I would love to see a picture of your bathroom. Mine is small also.
I now do my makeup in my bedroom too. I have put my old white study desk under the bedroom window (where most people would put a lowboy) with a standing magnifying mirror on it, to be my vanity. close by is a floor reading lamp with an adjustable neck, for getting the right angle of light on my face. My core makeup is in a basket nearby. I actually sit down at my vanity to do my makeup; it makes me feel a bit like a hollywood actress of old (well sort of). it's quite nice actually, after decades of doing my makeup standing up in a bathroom. I still do my hair in the bathroom, but only because it stops hair ending up all over the bedroom floor.
@@sct4040 I was going to suggest that-IN NYC I had a thin make up mirror in a basket with my make up-stored under my desk, I would put on the make up and put everything back in the basket. It worked.
She's not choosing photos that illustrate the bathroom size but illustrate what she wants you to do with color, cabinet placement etc.
Thank you, Lisa! My husband and I are 2,000 miles away from our home, renovating a 400 sq ft ski condo at the moment. We rent it out when we aren't using it, so it's a challenge trying to create spaces that look good, but don't break the bank and make the spaces flow better.
I like the idea of having a recessed cabinet above the toilet 🚽, very useful and does not take much space! I will definitely recommend it to my clients.
Thank you for showing smaller bathrooms. I'm in a small apartment. I don't have a large luxury bathroom so I am getting some useful, practical tips that I can actually implement.
I like the leaning "ladder" shelf over the toilet - sure beats some of the other storage solutions for that area that I've seen! Thanks, Lisa!
I have a large square tray that is white with splashes of colour that I use to put my makeup on (and over). Helps protect those counters and isn't blaringly obvious as it somewhat blends with the counter
Love you lady. I’m stuck here in the hospital doing battle with Covid and you make be feel better already. So many great ideas, makes me get anxious to be home and introduce some of these wonderful tips.
Dian!!!! Sending you TONS of LUV and great healing energy to beat that crappy virus!!!! Be sure and join the club, there's Tons more coming there as well! xoxoxoxo We're thinking of you!!! xoxoxoxo
Hope you are home and doing well now! Prayers and positive thoughts for you.
I can’t believe someone would watch without subscribing…when you learn so much. So much information in short videos.
I know right Bezen?!?! C'mon you guys, join this AMAZING fam and hit subscribe!!! 👏🏼❤️❤️ Thanks for the opportunity to plug!! 😉🤣
Um. My *main* bathroom is only 5’x8’. The tub takes almost 3’ out of the width. It would be great if you could do a video showcasing bathrooms which weren’t a) huge and b) designed in the building planning stage.😬
I think some of these bathrooms showcased in the video are considered Wet Rooms. I have never seen this in the U.S. The idea is that the shower is not enclosed. There is a floor drain...kind of like a public swimming pool locker room. So you stand under the shower head and the drain could be under you or the center of the floor.
I do not think I am brave enough to try this in my own home!
I’m intrigued that US bathrooms never seem to have heated towel rails, which are everywhere here in UK . They dry your towels to perfection and are cosy to use!
I know right AliBee?! I miss having those in my bathroom when I lived in the UK - I wish it could be common in the US!!! 🙈😍💕💕
I'm often jealous of that feature!!!Lucky you!!
@@LisaHoltDesign How about a video on this! I want those in my house! How do we do it??
We have perfect warm weather almost yearlong here in California, pointless , we don’t have your gloomy cold weather
We bought a free standing unit and hardly used it. The towels dry overnight anyway and the bathroom was always toasty so we never needed a warmed towel. We donated the rack .
I recently moved into a Scandi-modern townhouse, and my natural style is Scandi-folklore-boho. The bathroom is all neutral-modern ice white in utilities and tiles. And no window.
Been totally stumped until I realised I have this huge Indian teak boho-style cupboard - it’ll swallow towels, baskets, general storage, and the rest of the bathroom can be a quietly complimentary-neutral style from there - creamy-sandy naturals, sage green, baskets and so on
This is extra perfect bc that gorgeous cupboard needs moving from where it’s currently at: too big, too dark, too boho
Katarina!! YES, utilize that cupboard and add some life to your bathroom!! 🤗that is going to compliment your style very nicely!! 😍🙌🏼 THANK you so much for sharing this and for including me on your Saturday morning!!! 😘🧡🧡
Some great storage ideas here Lisa, thanks. I so agree about not using strong colours. When I first moved into my tiny flat I painted the wall where the basin hung in coral. Fabulous colour. Trouble is I looked like an umpalumpa when I looked in the mirror! It was repainted white within a week. Years later bathroom has been totally remodeled in palest of grey with white suite and (very) small touches of colour. So much better.
OMG Gail EXACTLY!!! 🌟👏🏻 I am such a color fan...but when it comes to things that will really effect the lighting I'll be getting ready in, I ONLY trust neutrals!! 😂😂 LOVE that you've found a better palette AND figured out how to add some color...way to go!!! 💕🤩
I am watching this for a second time. I plan to turn an unused back hallway into a walk-by closet and the Ikea planner says it's even more hanging space than our current walk in closet. I don't like our current walk-in closet at all. It's adjacent to our too-small master bathroom and gets steamy, not good for clothes. I am currently drawing plans to clear the current walk-in closet contents to the unused back hallway and combine the current walk-in closet with the current bathroom while upgrading and adding plumbing. To the toilet and shower current line-up, I want to add a French door to a new enclosed deck with cooling tub outside while inside a bidet/shower combo and dressing table/sink combo. I'm very excited, in case you were wondering why I comment so much! So far I am working on drawings, have picked all the materials and am very close to creating a budget!
OMG Melody that is SO exciting!!! 💕👏🏻👏🏻 I LOVE how well you're maximizing your space...SO smart to turn the current closet into a bathroom expansion!!!! 🤩DEFINITELY keep me updated...I love hearing all about you guys' projects!!!! 🥰💚
Lisa, I could cry! Thank you for the inspiration!! I have tiny bathrooms. This video is a godsend.

Tiny bathrooms with standalone tub + shower cabin + double sinks? I would like to see what normal and large size bathrooms look like.
And here I came for help because there isn't any wall space in my bathroom for a towel bar.
@@Heggsabee Seriously. I just had this conversation with my husband today, as we’re in the middle of a reno. 2 towel hooks might be all we can do. 😂
I was thinking the exact thing, why is she showing all these huge glamorous bathrooms if this is suppose to be hacks for small bathrooms. Geeish
@@Heggsabee not sure how yours is laid out but we had to put ours behind the door. It was literally the only useable wall space!
How is that a tiny bathroom?!?
Im wheelchair bound. Master bath has a roll in shower. A small closet. And nickel towel racks. And sink has no storage underneath. Or on floor near toilet. Recessed lighting in shower and center of toilet sink . Over mirror 4 bulbs lighting for makeup application. Brown, beige consistent tiles in all baths and into kitchen backsplash. And barn door in brught red. One red tub for excess clean towels in nickel open shelves over toilet.
Wait, I thought this was about hacks for a "teensy tiny bathroom"??? But I see and hear you talking about the MAIN bathroom! I'm good there. But could you help me out with the teensy, tiny bathroom that needs to be totally redone? I would really appreciate that.
Well sometimes the main bathroom is tiny so this applies to that, why don't you simply use some of the ideas like the neutral palette since they work so well in small spaces
Mirrors, wall shelves, over the door shelf, hooks. Beautiful serene colors, bright day light bulbs, dimmer.
You are awesome. Love your voice, enthusiasm, and passion for design. You're a really good communicator. Thanks for the plethora of design ideas and tips galore.
Angela!! What a sweet comment - THANK YOU!!!! 😍 You guys are always hyping me up, I don't know what I'd do without you guys!!! I am ALWAYS here to help solve your small space designs!! 👏🏼💕🥰
I inherited my family home complete with a tiny second bathroom tiled with Mamie Eisenhower pink tiles bordered in black. I was going to remodel but actually I fell in love with it. The wall above the chin high tile I wallpapered with Martinique style paper with a white background. The toilet and sink are white. I absolutely love it. It's unique and beautiful. It makes me smile when I walk In. There is a window at head height on the side wall so I get natural light by which I put my makeup on with no problem. Small pink bathrooms are a treasure.
The main bathroom is neutral. I rarely use it as it is boring by comparison.
I would literally decide to spend time in that bathroom luxury bath, wine, candles play Frank Sinatra / Dean Martin have a date w/ myself read decor books while spilling wine by candle light nothing feels better than being taken back ❤️ ice cream & Champagne always ready for a pink room regardless of where in the house.
I love your videos SO MUCH. Yes, that deserves all caps. 😊. I’m doing an entire house reno, and I knew I needed some kind of modern shelf storage for a guest bath…..that first example of vertical storage was perfect! I love that guests can see the amenities, and don’t have to feel awkward about opening a door to a cupboard or a closet to get something. Now to find that shelf…..
Oooh Dawn YES!!! 💚🤩 I'm SO glad I could show off a solution that might work for you!!! 💕💕 That particular example was from an architect in Toronto I'm pretty sure...I wish I had a link for you!!! 💙 Thank you SO much for this SUPER sweet comment...and good luck on your shelf hunt!!! 😘😘
Lisa - I’m renovating a small house for a friend. The master shower needs to be re-done, from shower basin up. I chose a large rectangular tile (white). The tile guy suggested that I run the tile INSIDE the shower vertically to give the illusion of height … and if placed horizontally, the illusion of greater width. Opinion please …
Very timely!! Our main bathroom is soooo small and I am starting to renovate it. If we were going to stay here I would consider expanding it, borrowing some space from our overly large bonus room next to it. So these tips are FABULOUS. One thing you did not mention was ceilings. The builder that built this house put - brace yourself - popcorn texture on the ceilings even over the bath/shower combo. (Insert Scream). It has GOT to go. Once that is done and the ceilings are flat and smooth, the ceiling will be painted the same very light colour as the walls to be making it an envelope. Sorry, my walls will NOT be white. I spent far too many years in white apartments that just ended up looking dingy, dirty, and utterly boring and just NO THANK YOU to any more white walls. But it will be a light neutral colour of some sort that makes me feel happy! (As I did in my last house.) My shower curtain will also be hung ceiling height and that is where my colour will come from along with my towels. Totally going to steel the idea of recessing a cabinet with doors over the toilet. Genius!! Another thing I am going to do that many designers today have nightmares about... my countertop is going to extend over the toilet - a banjo I think they call it. I don't care!!! I like to have easy access to kleenex that doesn't get splashed by water and my husband likes his battery operated radio handy. The banjo potion over the toilet is where the kleenex and radio hang out. Sad but true! LOL (Other than liquid soap, nothing else is on my countertop. ( I hate clutter and open shelves require clutter.) Bonus points will be the banjo will provide space to place items taken out of the genius recessed cabinet over the toilet!!
Agreed, the lighting in work areas (bathrooms, laundries, kitchens) is highly important.
TOTALLY Squally!! 💕👏🏻 Whenever you're doing any sort of detail oriented work, it's SO important to be able to see whats going on!! 💙🌟 You know me and my task lighting!! 😂😂 So glad you could catch the video this week - we miss you at the premiers!! 😘😘
Great video! I especially love the use of shelving above the toilet. It's a great way to maximize the entire space for more storage.
I've put battery task lights up high next to the door. They're not noticeable in the room but they light the bathroom on your way in at night. I also have them at the foot of the bed and so when my feet hit the ground, my path is lit to the bathroom. No more bumping my feet into the door trim in the night.
Madison!! Those strip lights can be SO USEFUL for those very reasons!! 👏🏼 Plus they make your tiny bathroom look VERY luxe!!! 🤩💁🏼♀️Thank you so much for sharing this - glad to know that someone else is a BIG FAN of this type of lighting!!! 😝💜
This was an excellent video! The strip lighting as a night light in the bathroom is a wonderful idea. I already use a plug in night light, but this is so much prettier. And utilizing the wall space behind/above the toilet is brilliant.
Lizard!! I am such a HUGE FAN of these strip lights!! 🤩 They look SO LUXE and are perfect for the nighttime!!! 🌟💚 Thank you so much for watching and leaving this sweet comment, I just LOVE chatting with you guys in the comments!!! 🥰🥰😘❤️
I have a proper lighted make up mirror on top of my antique vanity in my bedroom. Frees up a lot of space in the bathroom, plus now i have all kinds of drawer space for cosmetics, etc.
In my tiny powder room, instead of painting it, I hung a huge piece of art in colors that I like. It is lovely and makes you want to not stay for too long:-)
LOL Cathy!!! Now that's a strategy!! 😂❤️ No hogging the bathroom!!! 😆 Art is always a good way to add a splash of color to a space...love that you've found a piece that works for you!! 💕💕 You guys KNOW I love a bold powder room - sounds like you're NAILING it!! 🤩 SO glad you could join us for another week of design fun - you rock!!! 💙😘
I'm trying to think of what kind of art makes you NOT want to stay for too long...
nice looking brushed nickel finish with multiple water spray options
Our master bathroom has a standing shower with handheld shower head.
We started to see some rust spots in the hose not to mention heavy mineral built ups in the shower head because our house has very hard water despite water softener we have.
My wife picked out this handheld shower head to replace our old one because she loves the brush nickel finish to match our bathroom decors but this turned out to be very impressive handheld shower head.
Although I have replaced shower heads many times in the past, it came with nice instruction on how to replace it for those who's not familiar with it. My only advise would be to use wrench to hold the base spout when removing and installing the holding adapter so you don't accidently twist and damage the base pipe when you over tighten it.
I really appreciate that it came with plenty of plumber's tape because you really want to put that on before connecting different parts so that there's no water leak in between threads. This is one of most common mistakes and reasons why there's leak after installing it. Very happy to see that they have provided plumber's tape to remind you to use it!
It also had rubber rings/washers in each connector but it also came with extra one, which is nice. They also included a shower drain cover to prevent hair from going in to the drainage, which is a nice bonus. I really love the brush nickel finish, which makes it look elegant and expensive. The 7 different water spray setting is nice to have so you can change it for different purpose. We will most likely leave it on one setting for most of the times but it's nice to have option to change it when needed, such as jet spray for cleaning the shower wall, etc.
After replacing the shower head, I didn't see any leak and the stainless steel hose feels sturdy. I also like that I can rotate and tilt the shower head holder and it stays in place. Overall, very happy with this shower head!

Marje!! You have NO IDEA how much this comment has warmed my heart!! Thank you!!! 🥰 I am so glad I can always share the BEST organization tips to help your tiny bathroom out!!! 🛁💙 Thank you for all the support, it means SO much to me!!! 😘💕✨
We found out how "slapped together" our house was when we bought a few years ago, so now I have the chance to make it how I want! LOVE these ideas❤
That is awesome!
Such great information and beautiful examples! You made me do some thinking. I have a white master bath (with great lighting of course) and have added shades of green in the rugs, towels and green-ish botanical prints on the walls. You made me think of putting my orchids in there because there is great sunlight for them and my husband just built a beautiful shelves above the toilet. They will look great and will love the humidity! Thanks Lisa, you're a doll!
OMG Marilyn!!! 💕👏🏻👏🏻 Have you been looking at my instagram?? 😆😆 I LOVE adding some plant accents to bathrooms!! 💚👏🏻 You're totally right - it's a great place for flowers that crave that humidity!!! 🤩 SO glad I could get the gears turning on this FABULOUS idea - don't forget to let me know how it turns out!!! 💙
The tips come at the right time. After a renovation, I am redesigning my bathroom in my studio in the city. In my big bathroom in my house, none of this is so complicated. But in my very small bathroom without daylight in the city, there is much more to consider. Vertical storage space and baskets are also my options. Thank you, I love your handy hints and tricks...design solutions and last but not least your sense of aesthetics!
Helena!!! Talk about perfect timing!!! 🤣 SO glad I could share some ideas and tips for your upcoming renovation, you HAVE to tell me how it goes!!! 😍👏🏼💗
@@LisaHoltDesign I will! Unfortunately, everything is going so slowly because of Covid. The craftsmen are fully booked for weeks and months.
Very useful info for me in planning my cottage build! I’m currently in an apartment, so I’m limited. But, I use a 3M removable hook on the back of my bathroom door. It’s great for my “dressing gown collection “ I’m so impressed that Lisa is not only a designer - but also a magician 😂
Marnie!!! Never doubt a 3M hook, those things are TOUGH!!! 😆👏🏼 I am so glad that I could share these yummy tips to you for your future cottage build!! That is going to look so DIVINE!!!! 😍💖
You can also buy an outlet that screws into where the lightbulb goes that’s already in the ceiling or wherever… And then you can still scoop the bobbin but you can attach strip lighting to that lightbulb as well
Clicked on the video out of curiosity since we’re planning to buy a house in the near future and instantly subscribed. Love your upbeat personality ❤️❤️❤️
Bella!!! YIPPEEE welcome to the channel, THANK YOU for subscribing!!! 🥳🎉Seems like you found my channel at the right time!! 🤣 LOL Thank you so much for saying hi and being part of this amazing community!!! 🥰💚
Check out Lisa's videos on paint and lighting! They are invaluable. Good luck with your house purchase and have fun!
I appreciate the tips about the lighting, big mirror, and over the toilet shelves. Currently I have some 8x10 picture frames behind the toilet, but now I'm re thinking that to put some shelves behind it for extra towels, tp, soap etc. I have a small 1/2 bath on my main floor that I wanted to do something with, because that's where my guests will be doing their business. It's literally a toilet and vanity. So I really appreciate some new tips to maximize the look of the space but not make it feel like a cluttered over done mess. Thanks!
OMG! You have the sweetest personality. Thank you for wonderful tips👍🙏💜
You are just sooo kind Sladjana!!! 🤗 Thank you so much for supporting the channel and watching - it truly means the WORLD to meee!!! 💜🌎🥰

Can I just say I so grateful I found you. You have me eating out of the palm of your hand in every video. I love you!
Hi Lisa! I confess that I’m one of those who regularly watch your channel but got lazy and not subscribed! Today I said to self “do it”. So, subscribed.
I think you are adorable and love your tips!
My bathroom is tiny with a window over the toilet and I tried putting a medicine cabinet on the wall opposite the sink but it sticks out too much and can’t even stand straight in front of the sink. Trying to think of ways to add storage and your tips help!
Thank you and look forward to your next video!
Twenty lashes with a wet noodle! There. Done.
Thank you. I am so glad you said go wild (not your exact words) on powder rooms because I recently painted mine in lime green with lilac accent wall on the sink side. I do plan to apply my make-up in this room. I can sense you cringing from where I am here in Ontario! 🤪 Well I have great ideas in my mind's eye but it never turns out how I thought it would. Thankfully the powder room is only a temporary one for a few years while we decide how to renovate the extension it is housed in. We tore out the very old avocado bathroom set and built in cupboards, floor, walls and ceiling and replaced everything to make it a sanitary space. It had been neglected for decades by previous owners. At least it's clean and fresh now and people say it's cheerful and pretty. Now on to the main bathroom that has a floor space of only 59inchesx65inches'. My plan was to paint (yep I bought the paint ☹️) the accent wall (toilet and sink wall 59 inches wide ) in matt black, with small checker board style black and white floor tile and everything else white, even the shower curtain, trim and door. The house is mid-century modern in a rural setting. So again as I mentioned in an earlier comment I am not sure whether this idea is too contemporary for the rural farmland setting. Now after watching this video I am thinking all white walls with black accents ie black and white floor tiles, shelving etc. Am I catching on? Sometimes I get married to an idea, go buy the paint, sometimes apply it and then realize my artist's brain needs to stick to painting canvases! 😜. I think one if my problems is that I am a visual artist who loves colour but my husband feels uncomfortable with colour and always picks neutrals. So after many years of not wanting to rock the boat I have started to assert myself. But I think I am going too far. After watching your video on small spaces I stopped myself painting two walls of our small dining room that is part of the living room and hallway... in vivid red. I was going light grey on all other walls with white ceilings . I even bought the red paint. I think our colour and style preferences are so much a part of our emotional life and who we are that we can get ourselves caught up in a tug of war with others and not be able to see the woods for the trees. Watching your videos have made me question why I become married to an idea. What is driving my decisions? I can imagine you have learned to work with couples where each person has different tastes and helped them come to a compromise without one overpowering the other. I imagine there is a lot of skill involved in that part of your work. Often what happens with our home is that we can't agree on anything so it gets left for years. Then I get frustrated and do something drastic on impulse because I am fed-up with it looking old. For example I painted our 70inch by 60inch entranceway in charcoal grey 5 years ago. It transformed the space and looks great but....as it is connected to the living space and the living space didn't get painted at the same time, I am concerned it will look like a black hole if I am not careful about what colour to go with. So perhaps I will end up repainting the entrance. 🥺😩😖. You are teaching me so much and helping me to build know-how and confidence. I so appreciate you!
OMG this comment!!! 👏🏻👏🏻💕 I SO hear what you're saying and I can TOTALLY understand...becoming attached to your vision is definitely part of being a creative person!!! 🤩🤩 I love your approach of following your gut but also thinking critically about your decisions...SO important when making decisions that will hopefully last for years in your home!! 😂❤️ I am SO honored to just be a part of your creative process, and I LOVE hearing that these videos have been helpful!! Thank you soooo much for tuning in and sharing all of your creative ideas - hearing from you guys is so fun!!! 😘💙

Aww Sue - you guys just know how to brighten up my day!!! 🥰💛 Thank you so much for this sweet comment and for tuning in!!! I LOVE spending my Saturday mornings chatting with you guys!!! 🌟💖🤗
And I feel so privileged to have your time 💕
Love the idea of low lighting under cabinets. Easy peasy:)!
IKR Judi?!?! It can be pretty cost effective as well as making your bathroom look LUXE!!! 🤩🤩 Thank you so much for watching!!! 💗😇✨
Great tips for extra tall people. My kids and I would need to squeeze in a step ladder somewhere to reach 90% of your storage ideas 🤣
I have one too!👍🏻
I remodel and reconfigured a 6x8 bathroom,. Did the whole room in White with a porcelain marble look floor with a mat finish. I did a large mirror also
Ohh this sounds so DREAMY!!! 🤩🤩🙌🏼
Love the examples but none of them are small bathrooms that you would see in a nyc bathroom. Next time please add?
You mean a toilet bowl in a closet with a pull chain flusher and then another closet-ish nook in the spa e where there might be a stand alone shower? That’s my besties NYC bathroom I remember lol
@@mulliganstew72 that’s basically how my bathroom is except for the pull chain
Or, where the door is going inward almost hitting the toilet, forcing an according door being installed. Yep, got it.🤭
I’m laughing at the bathroom with the washing machine being considered a small bathroom😂😂
It's doable, what you need to upgrade to maximize the space, its getting an inwall hung toilet, a corner shower, a double door or more medicine cabinet, and installing a pocket door. Adding recessed cabinets, will also help. They all require alot of work, but I did it to my bathroom, just watching YT videos.
To help everyone keep their germs to themselves I've purchased a bunch of facecloths in colours to match my bathroom. They are rolled and placed in a basket on the counter and visitors can pick a colour and use it to dry their hands while they are in the home. Always make sure there is space for them to hang it up
Oooh D this is SUCH a good idea!! 💕🌟Especially now that we're all a little bit more aware of high touch surfaces!! 😂💚 I LOVE how much I learn in these comments...thank you SO much for sharing this tip!!! 🤩💙
Lisa ... you’re brilliant, I live in England so most of us have small bathrooms here , fantastic ideas as always you are such a talented interior designer, thank you 😊
OMG Julie!! 💕😘 This is just the SWEETEST comment!!! 🤩🤩 I've spent a little bit of time in England myself, so I TOTALLY know what you mean!! 💙 Maximizing i just SO important...and it's totally doable!! 👏🏻👏🏻 SO glad I could share a few of my favorite tips with you this weekend...thank you so much for the kind words!!! 🥰💚
Holaaa Lisa !!!.. I have a small bathroom but you can always get some ideas to change and not bore the space,... gracias por tu trabajo, lo admiro y agradezco, que pases una linda semana 😘🤗🌹
Mara!! SO glad you enjoyed this video and that I could give you the BEST ideas for your bathroom!!👏🏼👏🏼 ¡¡¡MUCHAS gracias por este dulce comentario y por sintonizar este AM !!! 💖🤗
Thanks for the great advice. One correction: daylight is not ~3000 k. It's more like 5500 k, which often feels very blue in interior spaces. People generally prefer warmer light, which aligns with your suggestion. My lights are all 2800-3400 k.
Literally paused the video at about 3:00 to look at my bathrooms' overhead dead space for storage...THANK YOU 🙌🏽 👍🏽
Please don’t place your towels above toilet. It’s not sanitary, when you flush, the particles float all over your bathroom and will sit on toothbrushes and towel. Towels stay fresh when away from humidity of a bathroom after all. Close the lid when flush, it will reduce the nastiness in the air. However, if you have a huge bathroom then go crazy and place all your towels in the bathroom;))
Thank you so much for sharing this light!!! 👏🏼 Love reading all the fun tips you guys have to share in the comments!!! 🙈💕 Thank you so much for tuning in this AM!!! 🙌🏼☀️😎
Agreed, I have a tiny bathroom but everything is kept in a cupboard and I never keep my toothbrush in the same room as the toilet, just a no from me. If it goes in your mouth it doesn't share the same room open air style, pretty easy guideline.
Yes!!! 👍🏻 we are not Barbarians! Close the lid… it is only meant to be open when using the toilet. 🚽 seeing the open bowl of the toilet is gross. 🤢 Elevate your manners. Please keep the lid closed.
Am I the only one who keeps their toothbrush in the cabinet?
I concur with the people who point out the utility of the toilet seat to reduce the contagion of which you speak.
@@bricksloth6920 I keep my toothbrush in my purse since I brush & floss after each meal & I don't always eat at home.
Great video! Keeping bathrooms neutral also help when a person sells their house.. Thanks Lisa.
That is very true Adele!! It can give the potential buyers an opportunity to imagine what they would do with the space!! 😉👏🏼 Thank you so much for tuning in and sharing this nifty tip!! 💗🌟🤩
Oh yes, make it as neutral as possible, colorful will blast is in just a few years. You are so lovely and do your job well. Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for tuning in Lois!! 😁 I love me a good neutral palette then throw in some color here and there!! 🧡

What an inconvenience- bath towels SO high up- I’ll pass on that idea-
I built a couple of steps that I move back and forth from bathroom to kitchen should build a second…
Love that you also provide ideas for renters❤
My only bathroom is a 5x7 space with 1950’s pink tile covering most of it. I painted the walls dark gray and have a lighter gray vanity with white top. Accent color is red. I have a hallway linen closet for towel/cleaning supply storage, and my makeup table is in another room under natural light. None of these ideas apply to a tiny 1950’s Cape Cod. Guess we have different definitions of “tiny.” LOL
Mine’s 5x6, also in a 50s house. Apparently 1) people were thinner then and 2) all you were supposed to need was room for a 🪒 and a 🪥
Oh my GOSH Yes! I just moved into a 1950s cape cod house and this is so true. No cabinet space and towel go in a TINY 2x7 closet in the hallway. I will definitely be implementing some of these ideas!
Your bathroom sounds very cool!!
Oh Lisa, I so wish you would tackle all these tough spaces, bathrooms, kitchens, etc. for universal design. We are saving for remodeling our kitchen, master bathroom and living room, but we don’t know where to start. And to further complicate things, I am totally disabled, and need to plan for wheelchair access in the future. So, saving, when you don’t know how much you should be saving, for changes, that you don’t know you should be making, is really crazy making.
Catherine!!! I got you!!! You have to sign up for the Dezign Club, I'm launching it THIS September!! 🥰 I will be doing TONS of project tutorials to get you guys started on solving your design needs, hosting webinars, and SOOO much more on there - how exciting!!!! 👏🏼💖 Plus we are going to dive into a lot of solutions for wheelchair accessibility!!!

Wow, Lisa! Another chock-full of info video!!! I’m in the middle of a master bathroom remodel right now, and you have affirmed all of my design choices. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and doing it in such a user-friendly and fun way. 😘
Deborah, You are so welcome! so glad you're part of the FAM! xoxoxo
I love your enthusiasm with shelves. 😃
A feature I was so impressed with in a bathroom (in a museum, different space, I know) was that the hand towels were mounted under the mirror at each sink. I let visitors know they were there rather than watch them looking around in frustration or waiting for a dryer to become available. (Yes, i worked there.) The mirror had been built out form the wall. What I also really appreciated in the bathroom was that the walls of each bathroom stall came very close to the ground for extra privacy. Very lux, I thought, but then the whole museum was like that.
Oooh Melody this sounds absolutely FABULOUS - what a fun place to work!!! 💕👏🏻 I ALWAYS can appreciate good design, no matter where it is!! 💙 LOVE that you still remember those little details - thank you so much for sharing them with us!! 🥰💚
