Tiny Apartment Bathroom Storage Solutions

Apartments in Lafayette Louisiana are not known for their spacious bathrooms, so let’s hear it for the tiny bathrooms.  Here is to the little lavatories, petite powder rooms, and tee tiny toilettes, for making us do more with less.
 
There may not be room for a pedestal tub and shower or even enough counter space for your skincare regime, but that just means you will need be creative with your space.  While you are contemplating storage the internet is busting with IKEA hacks to help you extract function out of the smallest of spaces.
  
Ikea is known for inventive kitchen shelving and other small room storage solutions that walk the ideal line of form and function; that translates especially well for apartment living.  Easy on the wallet, take a peek at these Ikea and other vendor hacks to make the most of your petite powder room.
 
Vertical solutions
When horizontal space is restricted, vertical solutions are often overlooked.  Consider a leaning or hung towel ladder as shelving unit.  With today’s modern farmhouse craze, finding the perfect size and style should not be a problem.  You may even be able to add baskets with hooks that attach to the ladder steps for even more storage.
 
Floating storage
If your bathroom didn’t come equipped with built-in storage, don’t let it deter you.  Instead, consider adding floating storage.  Do a keyword search for apothecary hanging or leaning storage solutions and you will understand the idea.   Originally, apothecary cabinets were used to store herbs and medicine. Today, we use apothecary cabinets for the same purpose.  The small drawers are perfect for holding pill makeup, soaps, bottles, medicine, bandages, and additional necessary items.
 
Laundry station with shelf
Are you determined to keep your dirty laundry sorted?  Consider one of the Petrone Combo Laundry Centers (Google the collection for images).  These laundry centers come with options for shelf tops, even side storage baskets and even have casters; so you can slide it out of the way. 

Everything old is new again
Remember picture ledges?  Picture ledges are now repurposed as bathroom shelving storage solutions. 
Thinner and sleeker than the original country picture shelf, the new versions are perfectly suited to smaller items like candles, perfume, toiletry canisters containing cotton balls, Q-tips, and the like. 
 
Need even slender solutions?
Contemporary or traditional spice racks make perfect shelving solutions.  The railing makes it a solid answer for glass bottles.  Available in designer woods, metal and even high-grade plastic, spice racks can aesthetically and safely display your daily beauty products.  On the low end, raw wood versions are available at discount stores and can be painted to add a pop of color or blend with neutral tones.
 
Above-the-door storage
Some of the more underutilized bathroom real estate is up.  If you find yourself baffled on storage space simply look up.   Wall shelves hung above the door or hooked on the door offer additional storage opportunities for towels, robes even clothing.  In some cases you can double your storage using this hack
 
Small spaces require double duty
When space is tight bringing in multipurpose furniture.  Consider a chair or stool that doubles as a towel rack, plant stand or tray holder.  The space under the stool can hold a basket full of towels, magazines, or rolls extra of toilet tissue.
 
Looking for apartments for rent in Lafayette Louisiana with larger bathrooms?  Handicap accessible apartments in Lafayette Louisiana offer larger bathrooms and wider doorways.

Hurricane Laura - Finding Comfort After The Storm

Circumstances often beyond our control force us to relocate, Hurricane Laura is a perfect example.  However, no move is more abrupt than one triggered by a hurricane.  Our hearts go out to those affected by Hurricane Laura.  With estimates in the billions of dollars in insurance claims, many will have lost their home - or at a minimum been temporarily displaced.  Rebuilding will not be easy, as construction resources will struggle to supply the current market conditions. It is a time of loss, confusion, and uncertainty for many - but there is also hope.  
 
Relocating after a Natural Disaster
Displaced by a natural disaster, many families will search for short- and long-term Corporate Housing Accommodations near the epic-center.  This allows displaced families to travel back and forth while their homes undergo the rebuilding process. 
 
Corporate and Executive Housing Solutions
The beauty of corporate and executive housing is that most units will come partially or fully furnished.  In the case of those who have lost everything to Hurricane Laura, finding the perfect corporate housing in Lafayette Louisiana can prove a Godsend.  These furnished units allow a semi-return to normalcy.   Complete with full-sized kitchen, living room, dining, bedroom, and bathroom furnishings, the displaced can rent 1 bedroom – 1 bath, 2 bedroom – 2 bath, and 3 bedroom – 2 bath units to accommodate families of varying sizes. 
 
Finding Comfort in Unexpected Places
Evacuees looking to truly find the comfort of home, can look for apartments in Lafayette Louisiana that offer the amenities they were accustomed to back home.  Many corporate housing accommodations in Lafayette offer 24-hour fitness centers, children’s playgrounds, basketball courts, and even dog parks.  While searching for a short-term lease, be sure to look at the corporate housing community amenities page to ensure they offer the comforts of home you desire.
 
Hope After the Storm
In the aftermath of Hurricane Laura, life can look a little bleak - especially for children that are facing six months to a year to rebuild.  Lake Charles school age residents were due to start school the week Hurricane Laura set its path.  Short-term housing in Lafayette Louisiana is available in award-winning school districts, allowing a smooth transition for their children.  COVID-19 delayed the start of the school year for all of Louisiana, so chances are the children will not have missed too much of the school year.
 
Fur Babies Welcome
Many of Lafayette Louisiana Short-term Housing realize that families include pets and welcome the furry children of families with open arms.  You will be able to find interim housing in Lafayette Louisiana that accommodates most breeds of cats and dogs, chances are they will have a dedicated dog park or two where dogs can exercise and socialize. 

Please recognize that while most communities’ welcome pets, their need to protect their residents, and their pets may exclude certain breeds of dogs deemed dangerous.
 
If you or someone you know has been displaced by Hurricane Laura and need temporary housing in Lafayette Louisiana, call Lafayette Gardens Apartments for a tour of their 1, 2- or 3-bedroom pet-friendly apartment community.  They offer short-term housing in the River Ranch area of Lafayette Louisiana.
