Though the bathroom may not be the biggest room in the house, it is probably the most important. This is where you spend your alone time either relaxing or brainstorming your next life project. If your bathroom is in need of updating there are many things that you can do to create a pleasant, ambient feel. Your bathroom is important enough to update to where it can affect the value of your entire home. Creating the right feel in the bathroom is therefore vital.
A worst case scenario would be to do a major overhaul that includes updating the bath, shower, toilet and wash basin. What ever is old and worn will really stand out if the rest has been remodeled. Whatever style that you are after, you have many to choose from like modern to retro or classical to hip. You will need to have a budget so that you don’t have the cost to upgrade going through the roof. Top of the range bathrooms can be found from companies creating bespoke designs. At the opposite end of the budget, very affordable suites can be sought from high street stores or online. You must also consider the fitting costs in your budget. If you are unable to fit the appliances yourself most companies offer a fitting service but this may cost extra.
If your budget does not run to replacing the whole suite there are more inexpensive options to consider. Old taps on a bath or wash basin can be replaced with new modern designs that can be found in any DIY store and can be fitted quite easily. Another option is to replace the old shower curtain with a clear screen, making the bathroom look bigger and cleaner. Again, these are relatively inexpensive and fitted easily. You could put in new tiles on the floor or wall to make your bathroom easier to clean. Try to ensure that any flooring, whether it is tiles, wood or carpet, is compatible to use in a humid bathroom environment.
Other than changing out the main appliances in your bathroom, you can easily do other things to give your bathroom a brand new look. Decide on a color scheme that suits your mood. Soft furnishings such as bath mats, curtains or blinds and lots of soft, fluffy towels can be co-ordinated. There are too many to choose from, so take your time and enjoy figuring out your new look. You can also add some color to the bathroom by adding pictures and paintings or you can create a focal point like potted plants or scented candles. Candles can not only provide color but it can also enhance the aroma of your bathroom. Other affordable options include adding a new soap dispenser, toilet roll holder or toilet brush.
Finally, make sure you have adequate storage to hide away those bathroom essentials, keeping the look tidy and perhaps, most importantly, clean.
