One of the areas in the house that is hardest to keep organized is the bathroom, even if you are the only one using it (I can’t imagine sharing a bathroom with more adults or children). If you are looking for small furniture to optimize storage, you will discover like I did that prices are considerably high, which makes this task even more difficult. However, the website House Digest suggests a DIY idea that could help maintain vertical storage in small bathrooms, promoting home organization.
To do this, you will only need to make a visit to the Dollar Tree store and buy 4 glass cone candle holders of 4 inches, 3 black hexagonal mirrors, and black acrylic paint. They also recommend using a good glass glue, like E6000 or Gotilla Glue. This type of idea helps to add a more minimalist touch to your home’s bathroom, making it appear larger and offering better organization and order. What are you waiting for to try this craft?
Order and minimalism at home
Keeping the house tidy, optimizing storage space, clean, and providing that visual peace that order brings, is not an entirely easy task. Minimalism requires getting rid of many objects that are unnecessary or only for decorative use, to make room for clear surfaces and unencumbered rooms. If you are willing to make that sacrifice, you will be able to find thousands of ideas that you can create with your own hands to decorate your home, which are easy to make and reasonably priced.
DIY
One of the options you can consider is the idea given by the website House Digestibility, which proposes creating a small storage space for the bathroom with very easy-to-find products. You will need 4 glass candle holders of 4 inches, three hexagonal mirrors, and black acrylic paint, which you can find at stores like Dollar Tree or any other of your preference. Do you have all the materials? Then let’s get to work! If you follow the steps below, you shouldn’t have any problems.
First, you need to glue two candle holders together at the top, then repeat with the other two, forming the fundamental pillars of the shelf. It’s time to paint them with black acrylic, but you can choose a color of your preference. Once they are well glued and dry, stick one end of the pillar to the center of one mirror, and the other end to the bottom of another mirror. Repeat the process with the other pillar and mirror. And voilà!
Personal touches
The black paint is just a recommendation, but you can use the colors you like best, as well as decorate with gems or stones if you wish. One tip to keep in mind is to cover the mirrors with paper and tape, and to paint the frame with a metallic tone that matches the copper or brass accessories you have in the bathroom. You can also adjust the materials to your taste. If you don’t like glass chandeliers, you can choose porcelain ones instead, giving it a more elegant touch.
It’s important that the shelf is made to your liking and fulfills both the functions of functionality, storage, and order while providing a minimalist look; it also forms part of the decorative elements of the bathroom, so it’s important that both the design and colors are to your personal taste. These types of crafts are not only entertaining, but they also allow you to decorate bathrooms or any other rooms in the house quickly and, above all, inexpensively.
