The bathroom is one of the busiest rooms in the house. It is probably safe to say you use it every day, and it might be safe to say that it is frequently used by guests, as well. A room seen by so many and visited so often should be welcoming attractive. If you feel like your bathroom is dull, outdated, or falling apart, check out some of the best ways to get it looking updated and stylish!
1. Accessories
Replacing cabinet hardware, towel bars, and towel hooks goes a long way to give the bathroom an overall updated look. Choose pieces that match each other as well as your showerhead, faucet, and toilet paper holder.
2. Showerhead & Faucet
Add new showerheads and faucets to improve both the look and functionality of your bathroom. Pick fixtures that match the rest of your bathroom. Having a consistent look throughout will help make your bathroom look and feel more complete.
3. Walls
When it comes to updating, a fresh coat of paint can be like magic! Opt for soft, cool, or neutral colors in the bathroom. Another affordable option is a beadboard wainscot. Install beadboard paneling on the bottom half of the walls and paint the area above a color that complements the rest of the room. This will give your bathroom a sophisticated look without taking a huge toll on your wallet.
4. Vanity
Taking on the bathroom vanity may seem like a daunting task, but it is a do-it-yourself project well within reach. If you like the size of your vanity and the storage it offers, try painting or refinishing it to give it a new look. Replacing even just the top of the vanity can transform the entire room. If you're ready for a new vanity altogether, installing a new one may be your best option. If you're in the mood for a big project, a repurposed dresser or table can make a breathtaking vanity with a story!
5. Lighting
New light fixtures are a fantastic way to upgrade your bathroom. While you're at it, replace lightbulbs with energy efficient LED bulbs. LED lights use much less electricity and last longer than incandescent bulbs. With this tip, improve the look of your bathroom and save money!
6. Shower Curtain
For a quick way to spruce things up, hand a fabric shower curtain. Choose a color or pattern that complements the other work you've done or the existing decor. Use a plastic liner on the inside to protect the curtain and floor from water.
7. Mirror
Medicine cabinets are great for extra storage. If your is looking old or rusted, get a new one in there! If you have a simple hanging mirror, framing it can give it a finished, updated look.
8. Toilet
Installing a new toilet can make a huge impact in your bathroom! Choose a water-saving, low-flow toilet to save a little on your utility bill each month. If this is too big a task for the time being, simply adding a new toilet seat can do the trick.
