subject: Useful Bathroom Redecorating Tips [print this page] If you want to give your bathroom a new look, the first thing to consider is how much it will cost. To do a make-over of the entire bathroom from the ground up, including all the fixtures and furnishings like wall and floor tiles, a new bath and/or shower, a vanity and tap fittings, you're looking at a huge cost. For those that can afford it, it's the ideal solution.
For those with a smaller decorating budget, you might want to do a mini-makeover. The DIY handyperson can do a lot themselves and still give the bathroom a new look at significant savings.
You can start your new bathroom look by painting your walls in a new color. If you can paint them in something that unifies the colors in the floor or wall tiles it will help bring together these elements in the room. If you're uncertain about the colors to use, go online and look up color wheel for some ideas.
With a new coat of paint on the walls, it's time to think accessories. Start with the shower curtain because that is the first thing one notices when looking into a bathroom, so it has the most visual impact. There are many designs to choose from. You can have just the one color or bold stripes or patterns. You can get more formal type shower curtains like those monogrammed with your initial and surrounded with a gold border.
Next consideration is your bath towels. To have them blend with the rest of the bathroom, you might want to get them in colors that match the walls, the shower curtain or the tiles. Or you can get thick white luxurious towels that go with any color and give a sense of opulence to the bathroom.
For the floor mat, you want to select something that's made from a fabric that will dry out quickly and that will also blend in well with the other colors used in the bathroom.
Other accessories used in the room can go with either the main color of the walls or tiles, or you could pick up the print in the shower curtain and use that for inspiration for accessories like lotion dispensers or soap dishes. You can now get accessories that are made to complement the print in matching shower curtains.
