Organizing the Bathroom

Learn how to create vanities and extra storage spaces that can help organize any bathroom

学学怎么更合理的安排您的浴室能帮您节省更多的空间

The bathroom calls for well-organized storage compartments and shelves to accommodate things both large and small. And while you could store such items as cleaning tools and supplies, the hairdryer, and extra bars of soap in another spot, it is handy to have everything you need in the bathroom at your fingertips.

如果能把浴室里大大小小的东西合理的分配储藏会帮你节省更多的空间，如果你把扫帚、簸箕、吹风机、肥皂头放在适当的位置，不仅可以节省空间，更可以做到触手可及。

Bear in mind, however, that the humidity and moisture in a bathroom limit what you can safely keep there. It may not be the place to put extra or guest towels, for example, unless you are expecting company.

在脑子里想一想，在那样的潮湿狭窄的浴室里你放一些什么会比较安全呢？估计客人的毛巾之类的东西不是最好的选择。

Getting Organized好好安排一下                                    

Nearly every bath has a medicine cabinet over the sink. This shallow compartment is misnamed, for it is the last place you should store medications; the humidity can harm the contents. A better spot for medicines is high in the linen closet -- a dark, dry, cool place that is out of reach of children. The medicine cabinet is traditionally a place where out-of-date sundries such as cough medicine and eyedrops are kept. Make it a policy to inventory these shelves every month or so, and throw out old bottles and jars. You will find the extra space you have created is very useful for the new sundries that you have collected.

几乎所有的浴室里在洗手池的上方都会有一个药柜，这个安置本来就是一个错误，把药箱放在水池上面是多么愚蠢的一个选择呀，湿气会使药物失效的。放在高处的亚麻柜里是个不错的选择，那里既阴暗干燥又通风，而且孩子还够不着。药箱里有时放满了各种各样的过期药物——感冒药、滴眼液。每个月定期把这些过期的药物清除出去腾出来一些地方可以放一些新的东西。

Adding Storage Space

If you are like most householders, your bathroom is small and has little, if any, storage space. Happily, home centers and specialty closet stores are filled with shelving units and cabinets designed specifically for the bath. Before you venture into a store or order from a catalog, you need to calculate the space you have. Look for likely storage room under the sink, over the toilet, and in any unused nook or corner. Decide if you want your bath items visible or hidden -- or both. Now measure your spaces, and you are ready to start looking at storage units.

增加储物空间

如果你跟其他的家庭主妇一样觉得浴室的储物空间非常狭小，那么，值得庆幸的是家居中心为您倾心打造了各种浴室专用的架子和储物箱。但是在你去商店买或者订购之前要先计算好你浴室的可用空间。包括洗手池下面，便池上面，任何一个角落。想一想你是想让你的洗浴用品能被看见或者是隐藏的——或者兼而有之。在你计算好这些空间之后就可以开始看你需要的储物柜了。

Choosing A Storage Style

For a country-style feeling, you can hang wicker baskets on the wall and add an inexpensive wicker chest of drawers. Or for a more contemporary look, you can choose a covered-wire shelf system. The covering makes these wire shelves suitable for wet areas. In the shower, a covered wire rack can hang on the shower head or stick to a corner of the stall with suction cups. A covered-wire tray can span the tub and hold shampoo, rinse, and a bookrack.

如果想打造成乡村风格的，你可以选择藤制的壁挂篮子，加一个便宜的藤编箱子。或者是现代感一些，选择一个防潮金属架，这个更适合潮湿的地方放置。在淋浴的地方，防潮金属架可以挂在浴头旁边或者是用吸盘固定在墙上。防潮托盘也可以用来放香波、漱口液和书架。

In a children's bath, you can use a mesh bag to hold toys while they drip after a bath and keep other bathtime needs on bright-colored plastic shelves.

在儿童浴室里可以用网兜盛玩具，因为他们洗澡时必定会把玩具弄湿。把其他洗浴时要用的东西放在颜色靓丽的架子上。

Creating A Vanity

If your sink doesn't sit in a cabinet, making it part of a vanity, you can get the same effect by adding a skirt to the sink. A handsome pleated skirt around the sink can hide all kinds of cleansers and sponges in a plain and inexpensive utility bucket.

创造空间

如果你的洗手池不是在一个柜子上面，那么利用一下洗手池下边的空间吧，一个漂亮的百褶裙会帮你遮挡撑着各种清洁用具和海绵的破旧的木桶。

An easy way to make a sink skirt is to measure fabric to go around the sink -- three times to make pleats or twice for gathers. Cut the fabric to height, adding a 2-inch hem allowance to both the top and bottom. Hem the skirt and make the pleats or gathers on the sewing machine. Machine-sew a length of loop tape (one side of a length of hook and loop tape) to the wrong side of the top hem of the skirt. Fasten the other (hook) side of the tape to the sink with a hot-glue gun. With the tape fastener system, you can easily remove the skirt, put it in the laundry while you wash the bathroom floor, and then reattach the clean skirt when it is dry.

做这种遮挡布的一个简单的方法：量一下总的周长，要是三倍于这个长度以便于做出漂亮的褶子，量一下长度并使它多出两英寸，用缝纫机缝一下，缝上一圈撕拉式的粘贴条，用粘胶把它粘在水池下边。用这种可以撕拉的胶条你可以很方便的换洗。洗浴室的地板时把它拿去跟其他的衣物一起清洗，干了再挂上去。

If your sink is set inside a cabinet, the cabinet is not likely to have shelves or other storage compartments of its own. You'll find that there are many different add-on shelving units that you can easily install. Some are attached to the cabinet door; others are set on rollers and can be pulled out for easy access to the contents, even if it sits in the back of the cabinet.

如果你的洗手池是在一个箱子上面，而且这个上面又不能放任何架子和储物柜，没关系，有一些适用于悬挂于旁边的小架子可以帮你解决问题。有些是挂在浴室门后的，有些是在抽拉轴上的，甚至有些适用于柜厨后面。
