Give Your Bathroom A Fresh, New Look With These Ideas
It’s fair to say that revitalising your bathroom doesn’t necessarily require a lot of money, time, and effort. If you’re careful, then these quick and easy decorating tips can help refresh your bathroom in no time at all, but more importantly, don’t require a giant budget.
Whether it’s bold colours, updated hardware, or some eye-catching plants, these simple tricks and ideas will give your bathroom a completely new look that you’ll love over and over again.
A fresh lick of paint
It sounds almost too good to be true, but you’d be shocked what a new coat of paint can achieve in your bathroom. The shift from plain white to something daring and colourful is very noticeable and the upgrade is immediate.
Keep in mind that there are special paints that help to repel mould and mildew, which are a tiny bit more expensive than regular paint, but this is essential in the bathroom and worth it in the long run. As for the colours, green or yellow are trending right now, but keep an eye on all the shades to see what the craze this year is!
Wallpaper is also making a big come back for bathrooms, so perhaps you prefer giving your bathroom shelving, door, or cabinet a fresh coat of paint and instead update the walls with an striking wallpaper pattern. Make this room as zany as you like, because the kitchen, bedroom, and living room are usually more conservative decorative choices.
Replace all the hardware
When you stop and think about things, there’s so much hardware in your bathroom that can use an update. Everything from towel racks to cabinet doorknobs to sink taps can all be modernised to give your bathroom a contemporary look. For instance, you’ll find that GROHE has many current solutions for bathroom mixer taps that will suit any household.
Get rid of outdated or broken items in the bathroom that simply do nothing for the aesthetic of your living space, and improve the area with functional and stylish items. It’s surprising how small updates can make a huge impact!
Fake geometric tiles
It’s obvious that bathroom floor tiles look amazing and help improve an older room, but these are expensive to buy and even higher to install. That’s why we recommend a vinyl floor cloth in a gorgeous geometric tile pattern, as you’ll have the look of tiles but without the hefty price tag.
Add some more greenery
Not only do plants help improve the air quality, but they simply look great in a bathroom. A splash of life and colour helps improve even the drabbest bathroom and it’s nice to have something to care for in this area. Take a look at the best bathroom plants, such as snake plants, Aloe Vera, Boston fern, and much more. Bring the outside in and freshen up the windowsill or vanity with a beautiful plant.
