Three Easy Ways to Update Your Bathroom
Out of all the choices for what type of remodeling project to start, bathrooms remodels are still a close second to the most popular option of kitchen remodels. This shouldn’t come as a surprise since bathrooms are utilized constantly throughout everyday life. However, sometimes people want to update their bathroom without doing a full-scale “demo and replace everything” remodel, whether that is because they are on a budget, or they still like some elements of their bathroom. For that reason, in this blog post we are going to look at three easy ways to update your bathroom based on current remodeling projects.
Painting
A quick way to provide a fresh look to your bathroom is updating the painting throughout your space. Painting is always an underestimated interior design element, but it really is an interior remodel that has the power to change an entire room. Not only does painting the walls alternate a space, but there is the option for painting furnishings as well. For example, if you strongly dislike your bathroom vanity cabinets or shelving because they are dated, or no longer trendy, sometimes a fresh coat of paint is all it takes to see them in a new light. This is a great option if you are on a budget, and don’t have the money to install a brand-new vanity.
Upgrading Accessories and Fixture’s
your bathroom fixtures not match? Are you tired of taking a shower and the water isn’t at full pressure? Are your faucets now dated compared to when you first had them installed? Or, simply not having a designated area for storage or to hang your towels. These might seem like silly questions, but sometimes people will wait to replace things in their home until they are completely broken and then they will replace everything at the same time. However, you can easily see your bathroom in a new light if you think of updating your sink faucets or shower head fixture. If you are on a budget and don’t want to get involved with replacing your fixtures, another great option is updating your bathroom accessories. For example, add a new towel bar or toilet paper holder, or invest in the countertop organization of your vanity by adding matching soap dishes or lotion dispensers.
Lighting
Natural light is always desired in any interior space; however, it is not always possible if windows are not freely available. For that reason, adding the perfect lighting fixtures in your bathroom is an easy way to upgrade your space to the next level. For example, a great way to update your bathroom without completing a large remodel is by adding a featured lighting piece above your bathroom vanity, or above your freestanding tub. The lighting piece can be as small and simple, to as large and artistic as you desire it to be, the options for lighting are truly endless. A key lighting element in bathrooms is that you want to make sure that you have the best feature lighting above your vanity because of the typical use of a bathroom mirror while getting ready for the day. Although there are many design ideas, sometimes it’s the small upgrades that can make a world of a difference in design remodeling projects. After painting your bathroom, upgrading your fixtures or accessories, and adding new lighting, you would be amazed to see how much of a difference those little changes would make.
