Simple Tips For Changing The Look Of Your Bathroom
72
Is your bathroom’s décor outdated? Bathroom remodeling can be expensive and inconvenient, especially if you hire a contractor. If cost bothers you but you are not particularly handy with cabinetry and tile, you still do not have to give up on redecorating your bathroom. Painted walls can be painted over, new blinds and/or curtains hung and shower curtains, area rugs for the bath, towels and accessories can be replaced. If your walls are tiled, changing the accessories and decorations can be enough of a change to satisfy your need to update.

When choosing paint for your walls, consider the color of your bathroom surfaces. If the colors are neutral, add some life to the room with an accent wall painted a vivid color. Patterned or decorative surfaces call for a toned down look on your walls.
Keep it light and airy. Pale yellows, blues, greens or whites paired with patterned shower curtains, modern area rugs, and towels in complementary colors or matching prints are the current trends in bathroom décor. Take advantage of natural light with window shades or curtains that let daylight in without compromising privacy.
Expand a small bathroom visually with glass, light, reflection, and height. Add a large mirror to the wall opposite or beside the sink and make sure the area is well-lit. If you have one or two smaller mirrors over your sink, replace them with one big mirror. Rather than hang a curtain, consider installing glass panels and doors on your tub or shower. Replace a low stand with a series of shelves placed at chest height or higher.
Add artistic sculptures, plants, and stands around the perimeter of a large bathroom and place a large flower shaped rug or flokati area rug in the center of your floor. Alternatively, add two or three oval area rugs for extra comfort under bare feet.
Buy bathroom accessories in sets. Current fashions for bathroom accessories include stainless steel soap and lotion decanters, toothbrush holders, soap dishes and tissue covers, accessories in black and white patterns or colorful geometric shapes, bamboo rugs and accessory sets, and other decorative pieces made of natural materials.
Go earthy. The latest look for towels, hand, and facial cloths include browns, tans, muted greens or blues. Buy them in solid colors or modern prints. The neutral earth tones are simple to mix and match with harmonizing bath accessory sets.
For function as well as looks, include aromatic candles of various sizes and shape on your bathroom vanity and around your tub. Nothing says “relax” better than lit candles around the edge of a bubble bath.
Have fun decorating your bathroom. Whether you choose to make minimal changes or dramatically redefine the look of your bathroom, the process does not have to be difficult and it does not have to cost a lot of money. With that said, don’t be afraid to ask for help. If the project overwhelms you, ask a couple of friends or family members to help you pick out apply your new bathroom décor.
