Sharing a bathroom
Sharing a bathroom with family members or housemates can be difficult. If you have a large bathroom, then installing more than one sink is a good idea; so that people do not have to wait to use the sink for quick and simple tasks such as washing their hands or brushing their teeth.
If you need to decorate the bathroom there can be disagreements about colour schemes and furniture if you are sharing with someone else. The best solution is to settle on colours that suit everyone and if new bathroom furniture needs to be added, make sure that everyone contributes towards the cost so that you do not have to spend as much yourself.
Sharing a bathroom can also be frustrating if you have people using products that you have purchased for yourself. The best option is to buy double bathroom cabinets and give a section to each person or buy one cabinet each. If you do not feel comfortable with having your products stored in the bathroom, then there are a variety of wash bags and cosmetics bags to choose from. These are available from a variety of stores for around £5.00 and are ideal for keeping your bathroom products private.
It is also important to keep your bathroom hygienic. Since there is more than one person using the bath, shower, sink and toilet, you will need to make sure that you clean each one after you have used it. It is always a good idea to share cleaning tasks so that one person does not end up having to do all the work.

You have some very slick ideas for bathrooms. That has been one of the recurring themes in my own life–looking for a way to make our bathrooms and our kitchen look really glorious, even though those rooms are much too small. One of the glories of the Internet, though, is that there is absolutely no dearth of ideas. Right now I have no idea of what I will ultimately do, but I keep hoping I will come up with something really slick.

I shared a bathroom at my last house and for a while it was ok and it didn’t really bother me. But as new tenants came in they weren’t bothered about keeping it clean, so it just became messy which eventually forced me to move out.
