8 Simple Tips to Revamp your Bathroom.
Can’t help but think about how desperately your bathroom needs a little love? Can’t get those visions of designer radiators out of your head?
Whether your bathroom needs a simple weekend refresh project or you’re keen to give it a top to bottom makeover, we’ve got 8 top tips that will make it happen (without breaking the bank).
1. Get Rid of the Clutter
Our first tip will cost you nothing. If you’re like many people, you’ve probably accumulated a hundred tiny (almost) empty bottles of skin and hair products over the years. You don’t like them. You don’t need them. And they don’t do your bathroom’s appearance any favours.
So, it’s time to throw, recycle or donate everything that you are not going to use. In fact, we would recommend that you do this every 3-6 months - not just when you get that urge to revamp your bathroom.
2. Change Your Towels
Love the feeling of snuggling into your warm, fluffy towels after they’ve been draped over your heated towel rails?
A new set of towels somehow has the amazing ability to jumpstart any bathroom makeover as well as making you feel all cosy and toasty! Neutral coloured linens always look good on contemporary designer radiators, or if you’re looking to keep things under budget, opt for a new set of hand towels that complement your existing décor.
3. Swap Your Shower Curtain
A bad shower curtain will almost certainly ruin the overall look of your bathroom, even if the rest of the room is beautiful. Whether you are looking for replacement shower baths or not, if you’re shower curtain is more “ew” than “new” it’s time to get an upgrade. This small revamp is super affordable and can make a huge difference in your space.
4.Update Your Old Fixtures
Upgrading your lighting and water fixtures is a guaranteed way to instantly enhance the look of your bathroom.
However, if buying new lights and faucets sets you way over budget, there are plenty of other fixtures, such as sliding enclosures, that can add some serious style to your bathroom.
5. Change Your Hardware
You’d be surprised at how much a new set of knobs can transform your bathroom furniture and cabinetry. Things like this only take a few minutes to fix, and usually do not cost much to buy.
6. Think About Your Focal Point
When giving your bathroom a revamp, you need to allocate enough space for each functional area. If you’re looking at sliding enclosures, for example, make sure you have sufficient space, otherwise the aesthetics of the room will suffer. And whatever you do, avoid making the toilet the focal point of the bathroom; let the more attractive features be the first pieces people see when they enter the room.
7. Don't Buy a Bathtub That You Won’t Use
These days, most people prefer a large, roomy shower stall over a spacious bathtub, but they often worry how a bathroom without a bath may affect the resale value of their property. If you can't decide between the two, think about how many people in your household take regular baths, and maybe consider looking at shower baths as a compromise.
8. Think About Tile Textures
The last thing you want is your family or friends slipping on the on your glossy shower tiles (no matter how good they make your bathroom look!). On the other hand, tiles with coarser surfaces can be more difficult to clean because they tend to trap more grime. It’s always a good idea to choose tiles that are somewhat in the middle of smooth and rough, and if you use natural stone tiles, be sure to seal them so that they are more water resistant.
So, there you have them – 8 simple tips on revamping your bathroom.
