subject: Bathroom Design: Small Changes With Dramatic Effects [print this page] . But without a full, expensive renovation, how can we go about giving our bathrooms a much needed update? Well there are a few key areas to focus on, which mean that with little expense or time commitment, you can revitalise your bathroom and give it a new lease of life.
A fresh coat of paint is always a solid starting point. White is generally the preferred colour in bathrooms, but a light pastel shade will provide the same light and space enhancing qualities whilst creating a warmer and more inviting atmosphere. Another quick and easy basic job is replacing your tile grouting and waterproof sealant so that there are no small stains to detract from your new and improved bathroom style.
Next, clearing your surfaces of your bathroom products will instantly result in a far more calm, serene and relaxing environment. After a few years in the wilderness during the reign of minimalism as the dominant bathroom design trend, bathroom furniture is now back and more popular than ever. Just a few pieces of well chosen furniture will make a huge difference, allowing you to store all of your daily essentials neatly out of sight yet still within easy reach.
Certain types of bathroom furniture prove themselves to be the most consistently practical and popular choices time and again. The fitted basin vanity unit has always been a top seller, allowing you to keep your basin are clear of clutter and to conceal to plumbing and pipes connected to your basin and results, for a more streamlined look. It will also provide you with a generous amount of surface space on which to spread out.
Wall-mounted cabinets are ideal in bathrooms of limited size, as they wont cost you any floor space. These elegant and discreet cabinets are an excellent organisational tool for your bathroom, as well as adding striking style. Tall, narrow, freestanding cabinets known as Tallboys are another popular option, as they offer the maximum possible storage capacity for the minimal occupation of floor space.
Another wall-mounted option is to upgrade your bathroom mirror to a mirrored cabinet, for handy access to your most regularly used products while still retaining the same functionality as before.
These are all simple and quick ways to upgrade your bathroom and give it a fresh, rejuvenated feel, even adopting just one or two will make a huge difference: Try it for yourself and see!
