subject: Quick Fixes For Updating Your Bathroom [print this page] Every now and then, our bathrooms can feel in need of a little revitalising update. After all, everyday we require them to perform at peak levels of performance and efficiency, to reliably function as a space in which we can prepare to face the world each morning, and also as a space in which we can relax and unwind after a long, hard day. With all the steam and splashes we expose them to, our bathrooms can easily begin to feel a little worn and unloved, so here a few quick and inexpensive ways to give your bathroom a new lease of life.
Firstly, make sure your basics are in good working order. No, you dont need to replace your entire bathroom suite, but giving it a thorough clean so that it sparkles and gleams like new isnt difficult and can be surprisingly effective. A fresh coat of paint can have the same effect, but rather than opting for standard white, opting for a light pastel shade will offer the same light- and space-enhancing qualities, but will appear a little warmer and more inviting. Replacing your tile grouting and waterproof sealant is a great way to ensure that there are no small visible faults to detract from the overall look of your new and improves bathroom.
Next, lets address the issue of clutter. We all tend to accumulate far more bathroom products than we really need, but having so many bottles and packages left exposed can make any bathroom feel a little cramped and crowded. Installing some stylish bathroom furniture will allow you to neatly store all of your assorted cosmetics and toiletries in an organised and discreet fashion, resulting in a far more streamlined and calm bathroom environment. A fitted basin vanity unit and wall-mounted or freestanding cabinet will usually be sufficient, and there are a huge number of stylish and affordable cabinets available, just a few clicks away.
A couple of really effective upgrades that dont cost a great deal are exchanging your radiator for a heated towel rail, giving you ready access to warm, dry towels and creating a focal design feature in your bathroom, and secondly, upgrading your bathroom mirror to a mirrored cabinet,, which will retain the original functionality and simply afford you some extra storage space.
None of these improvements need to cost a great deal, but incorporating just one or two them will have a dramatic effect on the overall aesthetic of your bathroom. Try it and see!
