Bathrooms without curtains and blinds? What was recently considered a mistake is now becoming a thoughtful design decision.

Mold on silicone grout in the bathroom is not just an aesthetic problem. It is a microbiological phenomenon that can also affect the air quality in the room over time, especially if the bathroom is not properly ventilated. It most often appears in the form of black stains on the joints between the bathtub, shower and wall, where moisture often accumulates. The cause of its formation is a combination of a warm and humid environment, insufficient air circulation and the presence of organic residues (cosmetics, skin cells, etc.), which serve as food for mold.
Black spots on the silicone around the bathtub or in the shower are not just an aesthetic problem. They are persistent, annoying and – let's be honest – a bit disgusting, the result of too much moisture, not enough ventilation and organic chaos (residues of shampoo, gel, soap and everything else that shouldn't be there). Most often it is mold, which likes to take root in the very places where we have the least time and will for detective cleaning. And once it settles in – well, then it doesn't think of moving out just like that.
There are things you'd rather avoid - like an unpleasant visit to the dentist or... cleaning the bathroom. While the former is at least a necessary evil, the latter often feels like a mini-cleaning marathon, full of aggressive smells, protective gloves, and desperately scrubbing grout that never quite whitens. Well, what if we told you there's a way to elegantly avoid this scenario?
The bathroom drain has an incredible talent: it clogs up just when you have the least time, patience and energy. Maybe you've just finished a long shower, washed your face after a hard day, or simply wanted to brush your teeth normally – and then you notice that the water refuses to drain. Instead of an elegant flow, you're greeted by a puddle of soap, hair and... we don't know what else. How to unclog a bathroom drain?

Have you ever left your makeup - powder, mascara or lipstick - on the shelf next to the mirror without thinking? The bathroom may seem like the most appropriate place to store your makeup, since that's where you use it. But the truth is, it's actually not the smartest decision - and there are a few reasons why. Do you store your makeup in the bathroom?
Few things in an apartment are as self-evident – and at the same time as ungratefully forgotten – as the bathroom rug. We step on it with wet feet every morning, it bears our footprints several times a day, and in the meantime it calmly absorbs moisture, bacteria and even mold. While we diligently wash towels and change bed linen, it remains somewhere in the shadow zone of household chores – until the moment it starts to smell musty.
Grouts. Those inconspicuous lines between tiles that we usually ignore until one morning – when we’re trying to drink our coffee in peace – they stare us straight into the soul. They slowly darken, turning into tones you wouldn’t even choose for a winter coat, and start to emit smells that vaguely remind us of a neglected basement bathroom from the 90s. How do you clean grout?
The bathroom is often a place where, in addition to limescale and soap, frustration also accumulates. Scrubbing the tub, removing stains, finding the right ratio between cleaner and courage – sounds familiar? When a few hairs accumulate in the drain and a few stains that even the most advertised cleaner cannot remove, there comes a time when you would rather call the renovation team and start over. Forget vinegar, baking soda and ten different cleaners. All you need for a sparkling bathroom is... shaving cream. And a broom. Yes, you read that right.
