subject: How To Get The Perfects Bathroom Makeover [print this page] The best piece of advice I can offer if you want to create the perfect bathroom makeover, then I would say the it is the small changes that make the big difference in your makeover. Looking to sell, then you definitely need to give your bathroom a makeover.
Painting the walls for example should be reasonably straight forward and will give you immediate results, perhaps try a funky new colour for that immediate impact or a subtle shade to give your bathroom a much more mellow feel. Changing the colour of your walls is an immediate mood change, it should take no more than a day and will not break the bank.
Colour can make your room seem bigger, warmer and create a variety of moods, the type of paint finish can also enhance the ambience so choose carefully.
Consider your window blinds, are they wooden, metal or fabric and what would a different selection of material do to change the look and feel of the bathroom. Again a simple change that will not break the bank but can have a massive impact. Think simple is the rule here.
While it may be out of your scope to pay for new bathroom cabinets or doors, consider perhaps either repainting the doors as there are a variety of options available such as wood effect, metallic finish or standard gloss paint. Should you need to, why not consider just changing the doors instead of the entire cabinet.
Accessorise is key here to, the addition of a few little trinkets can also do wonders in creating something different. You can also try to make your own bathroom additions to personalise your bathroom - you can then be guaranteed that none of your friends will have the same look as you do!
As a professional designer I often see people making a wide variety or simple mistakes that can easily be avoided if you take care and consideration when planning. Avoid over ambitious designs and stick to simple proven color schemes. A birght pink wall with an orange floor just simply is going to look a mess, so try perhaps a simple magnolia with a soft colored floor such as grey or white. Take a look in brochures and see what other designers have done, cut them out and pay attention to the colors they are using. Take inspiration from these and include them in your own designs.
