Style Updates are Great: 5 Great Ideas to Consider when You Update Your Bathroom

PIN FOR LATER

Whether you are looking for an easy do-it-yourself upgrade, or have a professional helping you with your makeover, updating your bathroom can be a fun way to add value to your home and show off your natural style. In fact,

From the key features, like your tub and shower, to the accessories, like the mirrors and towel holders, your bathroom should showcase your personality.

Bathroom renovations have become a great way to upgrade your home, and even Better Homes and Gardens suggests making your next home improvements there for an easy return on your investment. Five things to consider to help you determine how you want your bathroom to shine include the following:

Add Some Zest with Colors That Pop

Not just on the walls, although dark colors can make a bathroom, no matter how big, look smaller, and bright colors can help add depth. Sanding down your vanity and priming it, then painting it with a splash of color, can be a cheap and easy update.

Storage is a Must

Often, storage is lacking in bathrooms, and what is available is not convenient. Take some time to assess your area and see where you could make use of what is there already. Under your sink generally has a lot of unused space that you could fill with drawers and pullout shelves. Look at what you have and see where you can optimize the space that is already available to you before you go knocking down walls to expand your storage accessibility.

Think Outside the Box

It used to be that just about any bathroom had the same basic makeup: sink, toilet, shower/tub combo. But today we have so many more options to choose from than ever before, so why settle for the same old dull setup?

From sinks that can come in virtually any design you can imagine, to bathtubs that stand alone and can be placed anywhere you want, your bathroom can become a unique way to express your personality. A modern standalone tub can enhance even the most drab of bathrooms, and a specialized tub, sink or vanity can turn your bathroom into a serene refuge from the day.

Accessorize!

Maybe you are on a budget or have to make do with what you already have. No problem! Mirror vanity lights can help you personalize your bathroom, or some accent shelving and colorful towel bars can be an inexpensive way to add that unique touch.

Floral arrangements that won’t catch and hold dust or water are an easy and elegant finish.

Throw in Some Texture

It’s super easy to add dimension to your bathroom through textured paints, furniture and boarding. Use old furniture in place of a vanity, and you can have wood or painted surfaces instead of the usual smooth particle board or marbled countertops.

Using panels that look like beaded board is an easy way to get a little texture at a cheaper price than installing individual boards. Tiling your floor or bathroom walls can also help add charm and style to an otherwise drab and boring room.

Make it Your Own

The bathroom has always gotten the least amount of credit, but it is one of the most-used rooms in everyone’s house. Why not make your bathroom a place to showcase your personality and individual style? Who knows, maybe it will become your favorite room!
