Following yesterday's 10 Beautiful Rooms house tour with Caz Roberts, I was so taken with her storage bench situation that I had to see if I could find us one for our own homes. And the good news is I have found a couple of solutions. As I said yesterday it's perfect if you work…

The battle for the bathroom is a common occurrence across homes throughout the world. Even people primarily living alone may run into this issue when hosting guests. When the issue about adding another bathroom to the house comes up, space and cost are usually the biggest concerns; but to the surprise of many, space isn’t as big of an issue as originally perceived.
A 3 by 5-foot area is usually all that is required to fit a toilet and sink. If you have a couple more feet to spare, a 5 by 5 can accommodate a small walk-in shower as well. Some common advantages of an additional bathroom can be convenience, adding value to your home, and the additional privacy of not having guests in your private bath.
Let’s look at where you can add a bathroom in the home – and where they are needed most.
In a lot of homes, the placement of the bathroom is usually located closer to the bedrooms or in a central location between both living and sleeping spaces. The idea of having a bathroom close to the den or living room can be very attractive. And for the ultimate man cave, a toilet close by is an absolute necessity. It’s not uncommon to find a coat closet, staircase or hallway in or adjacent to a living space, as they can be the perfect spaces to install a half bath.
When hosting guests, it can be cumbersome to explain directions to the bathroom multiple times, especially if your home is larger or of unique design. Wouldn’t it be easier to just leave the door to your new bathroom open when unoccupied, so everyone can plainly see and take note when the urge to go arises?
A convenient and efficient additional bathroom can be used to link two bedrooms together. This arrangement is commonly called a Jack and Jill style bathroom. This can be great for homes with children. Some well-designed Jack and Jill setups allow the use of private areas like the shower and toilet separate from the sink, counter and vanity area.
This style can be an efficient use of your space. Some standard bathrooms can even be converted in some home layouts. You can also save cash by incorporating this design compared to two separate bathrooms: why build and plumb another bathroom when you can frame in a door for less?
This may seem like strange advice, but spend some time thinking about the size of your bathroom. Many homeowners possess bathrooms that can be much larger than necessary. Most of the plumbing has already been ran, allowing you to tap into water and drain pipes without making long and costly runs of pipe; this can be one of the major advantages of splitting your already existing bathroom. Though it sounds silly at first, making use of an over-sized bathroom by splitting it can give you the extra bathroom you need at a lower cost.
An additional bathroom is probably one of the most wished-for additions in smaller and older homes. Even in small homes, where it may seem unlikely to have the space, room can be found to make this addition. These optimal places for a new bathroom can potentially save time, frustration and money, depending on your exact configuration.

Poor blood circulation can cause a number of other problems that you'll surely hate dealing with. Varicose veins, numbness, exhaustion, and dizziness are only some of the common symptoms you'll experience, unless you do something to improve your blood circulation. Try any of the following:

Soak in a whirlpool bathtub
The combination of warm water and massage jets in a whirlpool promote better blood circulation. They help your blood vessels dilate, or open up, allowing more oxygen and nutrients to flow to major organs. This is particularly beneficial to those who have arthritis. Improved circulation can encourage better movement and less pain and stiffness in your joints. Source: LiveStrong
Don't forget your roots
Ginger, onions, and garlic are three items that you'll definitely want to add to your grocery list – not only they stimulate and improve the health of the circulatory system – but also because they're just good for you. Fresh ginger root is anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, improves digestion, and can soothe all forms of nausea. Garlic and onions contain organosulfur compounds which help the body to fight off infection, eliminate toxins from the liver and blood, and can even keep biting insects away.

Stay active
Anything that aids in general fitness should boost your circulation. When you work out, try both:

The bathroom is undoubtedly the most peaceful place in everyone's home. Perhaps, the greatest ideas and biggest decisions are made in the bathroom. And that is why having a comfortable bathroom is as important as a comfortable pillow.
We all love our bathrooms and hence it is a bit hard to think about a renovation. But by making your bathroom better you are giving a nod to your own luxury. A comfortable bathroom means you don't need to keep looking where your towel is when your eyes are covered with shampoo, or feel the like the water has suddenly become colder.
By following these easy tips and tricks you can make your bathroom much more desirable.
When you enter the bathroom, make sure the first thing you see is a fine quality rug. It should be smooth for your toe and absorbent as well.
Sink is necessary for a comfortable bathroom, and preferably in the corner position. That provides room in the bathroom and disable any kind of traffic!
Wicker baskets are good alternatives to shelves. It also lets you keep more things and they are easily attachable to walls.
Downlights or skylights as many people call them are extremely popular nowadays and it makes your bathroom comfortable and stylish. It is easily installable in the bathroom ceiling and the LED downlights can be turned on and off automatically with the movement of bathroom doors. So whenever you open the door the downlights turns on automatically.
It's good to keep your small things like toothpicks, toothpaste, and toothbrushes in a glass jar. If you do not have a specific space to keep your small things in the bathroom you might need to keep finding it in time.
You don't need to dig holes in the wall to create rail to put your towel. Use a small decorative ladder for a beautiful finish instead.
Mirrors can be really helpful to wash you better. When you can have a clear look at your body in the mirror it will make bathing easier.
Air freshener smells beautiful and it is a nice way to make your bathroom feel like heaven. Remember heaven smells nice!
Always have a window in your bathroom in the top of your head height. It should be small and only openable from inside. The purpose of the window is to enter sunlight during the daytime to dry out the place.
If your bathroom has a smaller place, The bathroom skip the glass door of the shower. Even if your bathroom can afford that space it is not really necessary when you already have a door to lock yourself invisible.
These are few of the best tips to make your bathroom comfortable. Even if you don't believe, your bathroom develops your lifestyle. So make sure to have a comfortable one (be it bathroom or lifestyle).

Feeling cramped due to the lack of space and natural light whenever you have to use your bathroom? Don’t worry! You can still turn that little spot into your very own spa-like haven by following these amazing tips:
Photo by Jonny Caspari on Unsplash
Decorate using plants
If you’ve never considered adding a plant to your windowless bathroom, think again. A small plant can give the space a fresh, spa-like feel. However, you’ll need to find a plant suitable for the low-light, high-moisture environment a bathroom has. Here are a few bathroom plant ideas:
Add extra mirrors and reflective surfaces
You might think the big one over your sink is enough, but if you’ve got the wall space for it (though maybe not right across from your main mirror so as not to get that infinity mirror effect happening), consider adding some more mirrors to help expand the space. Reflective, mirrored accessories can also be a fun addition. Source: ApartmentTherapy
Choose the right paint
Paint remains a homeowner favorite for bringing about transformations both indoors and out. Never more than in a windowless bathroom, the right color selection can make a huge difference. Choose a light, muted hue, and be sure to stipulate a high-gloss or semi-gloss finish (no satin or eggshell). Don’t forget the ceiling: Because it plays an unsung but key role in reflecting light, a glossy white ceiling can go a long way toward leaving the space lighter and brighter. Source: BobVila
Create a distraction
Move the focus away from the lack of light in your small bathroom by shifting the spotlight on colour, artwork, lighting, and accessories. Cheerful graphics on the walls, elegant wall decals, framed photos, a funky-shaped wall light… these can all grab and hold attention. Source: Homify
