One area of the home that is commonly overlooked when it comes to upkeep and refurbishment is undoubtedly the bathroom. Despite being a crucial area of anyone’s abode (your bathroom is a place to relax, soothe and revive), many bathrooms can be left to stagnate for years with old fittings and dated interior, with most people choosing to focus on the other, more immediately visible rooms of the home instead.
A sure reason for this is that refurbishing any bathroom can indeed be costly, especially if it requires the replacement of major facilities, such as the shower stall or bathtub. But if you’re just looking to brighten up your bathroom and give it a new, inviting vibe, then this can easily be achieved without having to dig deep into the pocket. Here are some of our tips to give your bathroom that cheap and effortless renovation you desire.
It’s the Little Things...
Sometimes all a bathroom really needs is a few perky flourishes here and there, to inject a bit of individuality and make others feel almost at home. If your bathroom flaunts a modern, simplistic design, this is a bonus, as you’ll have pick of a whole host of colours and accessories that will look great no matter what.
Try choosing a shower curtain with a bold print, or colour coordinate it with a lovely new batch of fresh, fluffy towels and mat. Bundling up your towels and tying them with ribbon is a delightful way to store them and create a cosy, warming atmosphere. Display them snugly on a piece of crystal-look shelving along with clear coloured decanters for all of your bathroom necessities. All of your toiletries will match in this way, giving an elegantly organised look.
Don’t forget to add a touch of spa with some candles and coloured tea-light holders, which can be bought very cheaply from any home improvement or department store. You may decide to buy clear ones and then paint them yourself, or get the kids to help you! A piece of art hung in the bathroom is always a winner, but be sure that it is in a moisture-resistant frame, and avoid oil paintings.
