Thanksgiving has passed, but it’s always best to have an attitude of gratitude! While we probably take our home’s bathroom for granted, there’s a lot to be thankful for in this part of the house. And in case your bathroom is something of a thorn in your side these days, remember that you can always give it a quick glowup with fresh paint and hardware!

#1 You don’t have a Roman bathroom situation

If the internet speaks the truth, using the potty in Roman times involved such delights as group toilet rooms, a shared version of toilet paper on a stick, and public bathing facilities. If nothing else, we can all be glad to have a room where we can shut the door and have some peace and privacy.

#2 Many bathroom installations can be customized

Take the shower area for instance. You have lots of choices: curtain or glass door, sliding or swinging door, door or open entrance, and so forth. Of course shower curtains come in many colors, patterns, and styles, but if you’d like to elevate a bathroom that’s a bit subpar, consider upgrading to a custom barrier made of glass and metal components. Depending on the size and layout of your bathroom, this might be a large glass enclosure with hinged doors, a single piece of fixed glass, or something in between.

#3 Heat

Using the bathroom used to involve lots of chilliness in the Fall and Winter months. In some cases, you had to leave the warmth of your fireside to visit a drafty outhouse. In other instances, you cracked the ice on a basin of water and “washed up.” These days, besides your home’s usual heat source, we can be grateful for options like:

#4 Modern hygiene items

Toilet paper instead of pages from the Sears catalog – yes, please! Today our bathrooms also benefit from such delights such as antibacterial cleaning wipes, glass protectant sprays, and even self cleaning toilet systems. If you prefer “green” cleaning, there are also tons of eco-friendly cleansers on the market.

#5 “Limitless” possibilities for bathroom styles and themes

A bathroom is a relatively small space, but there are many ways to give it personality. For instance, satin brass hardware like this adds a splash of luxury and opulence. On the other hand, you can create a modern farmhouse vibe with pale neutrals, vintage finds, and matte black hardware like this. Bathrooms can also embrace styles like coastal, Art Deco, cottagecore, and biophilic.
