Your bathroom can be a forgotten room area it comes to design and decor, but don’t let that happen. This room is a key space in your home and deserves to get some decorating attention. Keep it looking and feeling comfortable by freshening up various aspects of its decorating. Here are five ways to do that while sticking to your budget.
Painting
By painting the bath’s walls a different color, whether that is just a different shade of the current hue or a completely different color, you almost make it seem like a different room. If you do the painting yourself, you do the project in an even more budget-conscious way. Buy the paint and other painting supplies on sale, and save even more money. But only attempt to paint if you have some experience with that type of endeavor.
Hardware on Cabinets and Plumbing
Although it costs little, swapping out the hardware like handles on drawers and cabinets can have a big impact when you go with a completely different style from what you had before. The same is true when you change the hardware and fixtures on plumbing such as sinks and showers. It is typical to be able to install these types of hardware yourself as long as you have some simple tools like a wrench and screwdriver.
Lighting
Do away with outdated lighting fixtures and lamps, and go with designs that are in style and won’t go out of style anytime soon. Be aware that lighting can in fact be expensive depending on where you buy it and what design you select, so go with stores that offer overall lower prices and designs that still look great but just are not the higher-end lighting options.
Towels
This might seem almost too simple, but replacing your bath’s towels and other linens can completely revamp the look of the room. Go with a style and color that are very different from before. Lighter colors can tend to look fresher and make the bath seem more spacious, which can be especially great news for small bathrooms. Also consider replacing the rugs and bathmats, and make sure they coordinate with the towels.
Accessories
Here’s another great tip for freshening up your bath. Add some strategically placed and attractive accessories. So for example, this could be a beautiful and colorful toothbrush holder, an artistic shower curtain, an eye-catching soap dish or lovely framed painting on the wall. Those are just a few ideas. Choose accessories that are suitable for your design theme in terms of color and style. It’s fun and easy to find unique accessories at various online and local discount stores.
There’s yet another way to freshen up your bath even if you have the tightest budget ever – because this idea costs nothing. That is, freshen things up by decluttering the counters, floors, and any other bathroom area. Things automatically look fresher when you declutter and organize. Implement one or more of these ideas, and see how your bath shines more brightly than ever.
