Is your bathroom looking horribly out of date? If so, it’s time to breathe new life into it by sprucing it up. If you’re on a budget, there’s no need to worry – you won’t need to renovate the entire room – in fact just by changing a few details you can make your bathroom a much more pleasant place to take a shower.
Updating Your Fixtures
While your sink and tub might still be in decent shape, even if they’re pretty old, an old fashioned faucet is going to spoil the look of your space. There are lots of different options on the market today in a choice of finishes and colors, so you should be able to find something that suits your sense of style and the feel of your bathroom. While you’re thinking about updating your fixtures, it could be time to paint your medicine cabinet and the walls too. White is always a good choice for a bathroom since it brightens the space and makes it look more minimalist.
Art Belongs in A Bathroom Too
If you don’t want to redo your tiling, you can add some stylish bathroom-appropriate artwork to your walls that will distract from the less than beautiful tiles. If there is only space for a single artwork on your bathroom wall, try taking the tile color as the main shade for the piece of art. That will create a more cohesive feel to space while adding a touch of style.
Paint Your Tiles
If your tiles are just too ugly to live with, it’s time to give them a paint. There are special types of paint out there which are suitable for use on tiles. You can either paint the entire tiling panel or just individual tiles for a more modern touch.
Add Some Colorful Features
Painted vanity and closet doors and some colorful curtains will make your bathroom a more beautiful place to spend time. Why not choose a vibrant shade that’s a little more daring – you can get away with it much more in a bathroom than in a living area.
Coordinating Your Walls And Shower Curtain
If you have a shower curtain in your bathroom, you need to think hard about the color that you choose. While having a bright and colorful shower curtain is always nice, if it clashes with your walls or curtains, it’s never the best look. If in doubt, stick with a plain white or choose one of the colors that are in your tiles for a cohesive appearance.
Add In A Dehumidifier
If your bathroom is prone to mold and mildew it’ll be due to excessive dampness and moisture in the air. Too many bathrooms lack fan exhausts and this can result in a host of problems. You can resolve this issue by installing windows with trickle vents, fitting an exhaust fan or, even better, adding a dehumidifier which will effectively remove all the excess water from the air and leave your space humidity free for a healthier bathing environment.
Stay Functional
Your bathroom needs to be beautiful but also functional. Finding storage space in the average bathroom can be tricky, but by fitting a towel rack behind your door, you can help in this respect. An under-basin storage area could also be beneficial as could a shower caddy to hold your toiletries. If you have a medicine cabinet on the wall, make it serve a dual function by fitting a mirror to its doors so that you don’t have to take up any surface space with a shaving mirror or any more wall space with a wall-hanging one.
Switch Up Your Toilet Seat
If your toilet seat is looking old and weathered, it’s time to switch up to a new one. There are so many different styles, patterns and colors out there these days that you can find something to suit your tastes. Whether you’re looking for plain white, stylish wood or even a patterned toilet seat, you’ll find more information on homeworthylist.com to help you make the right choice for your needs.
Follow these top tips and your bathroom will be bang up to date. In fact, you’ll never want to get out of the shower!
