!Okay bestie, let’s talk about how I went from bathroom chaos to total zen! After literally drowning in bath products and random decor (please tell me I’m not the only one with 17 half-empty shampoo bottles? 😅), I finally embraced minimalism and OMG – my bathroom now looks like one of those dreamy Pinterest pins we all save but never actually create!
The Essential Edit
1. The Great Product Purge
Y’all, this was LIFE CHANGING! Swapped my million products for sleek refillable dispensers, and my sister literally gasped when she saw the difference. Pro tip: Those amber glass dispensers from Amazon? Worth. Every. Penny.
2. Floating Vanity Moment
Stop scrolling because THIS is the upgrade that made my tiny bathroom look massive! My contractor thought I was crazy, but now he’s using my bathroom as his portfolio centerpiece (true story! 😌). The secret? Wall-mounted everything!
3. Monochrome Magic
Remember when I thought all-white was boring? WRONG! Added different textures in the same shade (think: waffle towels, matte tiles, glossy ceramics) and it’s giving luxury hotel but make it home!
The Smart Storage Squad
4. Hidden Cabinet Heroes
The GENIUS behind-the-mirror storage I installed? Changed! My! Life! My beauty-obsessed bestie Rachel came over and literally took measurements (sorry Target, she’s copying everything 😂).
5. Bamboo Organizers
These little boxes are the Marie Kondo moment your drawers NEED! Mine went from “junk drawer nightmare” to “organization goals” in like, 20 minutes flat. Even my husband keeps his drawer tidy now (and that’s saying something! 👀).
6. Clear Canisters Only
Decanted all my cotton balls and Q-tips into clear glass containers and suddenly I’m a person who has their life together? The power of matching containers is REAL, bestie!
The Texture Game
7. Natural Stone Vibes
Ya’ll ready for this? One large-format stone-look tile and suddenly my bathroom is giving luxury spa! My mother-in-law actually asked if we’d spent thousands (nope – just smart shopping at Home Depot! 💅).
8. Wooden Accent Pieces
That teak bath mat I was hesitant about? Now it’s the star of my bathroom! Adds warmth without cluttering the space. Pro tip: Get the real deal – my fake one warped after two weeks (RIP impulse buy 😭).
9. Matte Black Hardware
Listen, switching out those basic chrome fixtures for matte black? INSTANT upgrade! My plumber said I was trendy but really I’m just copying that one viral TikTok bathroom (you know the one! 😉).
The Cozy-but-Clean Corner
10. Statement Plant Friend
My snake plant is thriving in here and literally everyone asks if it’s real (it is – they’re impossible to kill, perfect for my plant-challenged soul!).
11. One Luxury Candle
Manifesting that spa energy with my bougie candle moment! Sure, it was expensive, but it’s cheaper than therapy, right? 😌✨
12. Turkish Towel Display
Rolled up my Turkish towels like those fancy hotels and suddenly I’m an interior designer? The power of presentation, bestie!
The Final Touches 🎯
13. Minimal Art Moment
One oversized black and white print above the toilet and suddenly the whole room feels curated! My best friend loved it so much she ordered the same one (twinning! 👯♀️).
14. Strategic Mirror Game
Added a round mirror over my square vanity and the Pinterest girlies would be so proud! It’s all about mixing shapes for interest while keeping it minimal.
The “Nobody Tells You This” Stuff
Real talk – here’s what I wish someone had told me about minimalist bathrooms:
Start With a Major Declutter
If you haven’t used it in 3 months, it’s gotta go!
Pro tip: Take EVERYTHING out first (trust the process!)
Invest in Your Storage Solutions
Cheap organizers show, bestie. They just do.
The good ones hurt the wallet once but serve forever!
The No-Fail Formula
Here’s your girl’s tried-and-true formula for minimal bathroom success:
Remove everything (yes, EVERYTHING!)
Choose your color palette (3 colors max!)
Add back only what you use daily
Style with intention (if it’s not functional AND beautiful, it’s a no)
