Everyone wants their bathroom to look good. How can you achieve this, if you don't have a lot to spend on sprucing the room up? There are a lot of simple, inexpensive ways to make your bathroom a beautiful space in your home.
Paint is one of the least expensive and highest impact ways to change a room, and has several applications in the bath. Tired of those old, dingy looking cabinets? A few coats of paint and some new handles can make them look new, at a fraction of the cost of replacing them. Make sure you use a type of paint specifically meant for bathrooms, as it will withstand the moisture much better than those which are not.
Painting the walls gives a room a whole new look for not a lot of cash. Since a bathroom is a small space, you have a chance to play with colours that might be too much in a larger room of your home. You can also use a more neutral paint color, and then upgrade it up with a decorative border of stenciling or festive tiles.
A new faucet updates your basin, and can add a lot of flash. Faucets are widely available in many styles, materials and finishes. If you replace your faucets, re-caulking any seams in the area will make the update complete. Don't dim the effect of a shiny new faucet with aging grout!
A new shower curtain can also do wonders to liven up the dcor in a bath without breaking the bank. A fabric shower curtain, paired vinyl liner, gives the room a more formal feel. Since the shower curtain is probably the largest decorative area in your bathroom, think creatively! You could choose a coordinating color, or one that contrasts with your walls. There are designs in both fabric and vinyl shower curtains that could go with anything - some may even have matching window treatments and floor rugs available. Don't forget the shower curtain hooks, either.
They also come in many styles, shapes and colors, and can be a lovely decorative accent.
Add texture and comfort with floor rugs. Make sure they aren't so big that doors don't open easily, and not so small that they are overwhelmed by the floor space. Choose something soft and comfortable to stand on, that won't slide around on the floor.
Mirrors are a great way to add visual volume to a space, and work well in small areas like bathrooms. They also come in every style, with and without frames, for every budget. You may also find etched mirrors that echo a decorative theme in the room.
A little paint and a few new elements can give a whole new life to your bathroom, without spending a whole lot of cash.
