One thing that stops many from upgrading their bathroom is the Easy & Affordable Bathroom perception of high price. The attitude being: “Why bother if we can’t blow it up and start again?”
Others think any that any change is a good change, provided something improves, like aesthetic appeal, space allocation, or functionality.
If you’re looking for a micro vs. macro approach to upgrading your bathroom, here are some good places to start.
Color –
A fresh coat of paint can do wonders to create the perception of even bigger changes. Whether you repaint every wall the same color or use a second color to create an accent wall, your bathroom can’t help but feel at least a little like new.
Replace the fixtures –
Classic or contemporary, traditional or sleek and modern, there’s the right set of bathroom fixtures to match your design style and color scheme. While you’re at it, consider installing a low-flow shower head and faucet to conserve water and reduce your water bill.
- Re-grout – Very little makes a bathroom look dingier that dirty or cracking grout or caulk. If washing one or the other does the trick, you get off easy. It’s a little more involved if you have to repair or replace either, but well worth the time or modest expense.
- Create more storage space – Has your bathroom become a crowded mess, especially the countertop and toilet lid? Ready-made and simple solutions are at hand. If it’s in your budget, replace your vanity for one that doesn’t take up any more floor space, but provides added storage space. Or how about wall shelving? Another solution is to get some of the clutter out of the bathroom, like dirty towels, your hair dryer, stray magazines, and more.
- Redecorate – Cap off your project by adding some visual interest with wall art, candles, or vintage jars for storing cotton balls and ear swabs. Or, make a bold statement with a one-of-a-kind DIY shower curtain.
