If your bathroom is in desperate need of a makeover, there are loads of things you can do to bring it to life again. Whether you want a modern look or something more traditional, there are loads of options.
A bathroom can be upgraded on the tightest of budgets, so regardless of how much you have to spend, you should be able to give your room that much-desired overhaul.
Here are 6 great ways to transform your bathroom.
Upgrade your lighting
If your existing lighting is old-fashioned or dated and you want something more modern, you can’t go wrong with downlighters. You can add as many or as little as you wish, and you should be able to incorporate some form of dimmer switch too. Adjustable lighting is perfect for those nights when you want to relax in the bath and clear your mind.
Bathroom lighting is different from other lights due to the need for them to be waterproof, so before making any changes, you must talk to a qualified electrician. They will go through all your options and suggest the most suitable lighting for your room.
Replace your bathroom flooring
You might be amazed at the transformation new flooring can bring to your bathroom. Among the various options, vinyl stands out as a popular and budget-friendly choice. It is reasonably priced, durable, and crucially waterproof, offering many designs to suit your preferred style.
If you’re leaning towards a more luxurious choice, ceramic tiling is an excellent option for bathroom flooring. It infuses elegance into the space, though it’s worth noting that it can be cold to the touch and potentially slippery when wet unless you opt for a textured option. For a perfect and long-lasting installation, we highly recommend employing professional tile installers, ensuring your bathroom is not only visually stunning but also safe and meticulously crafted.
Change your bathroom suite
One of the best ways to makeover your bathroom is to replace the whole suite. A new bath, sink, and W.C will make your room look entirely different and, depending on the configuration, may make it look bigger too. There are loads of options in terms of baths so take your time before making your selection. From the best walk-in tubs to top-of-the-range jacuzzi baths, the alternatives are rather extensive, so it makes sense to consider all the pros and cons before making a purchase.
Although a white suite is the most popular and probably the most sensible choice, there are other color alternatives available should you fancy something a little more unique.
Make basic changes
If your bathroom needs a makeover, but you are working with a tight timescale or budget, you needn’t worry, as there are many small changes you can implement that will still make an impact. Changing the color of your grout, for example, is a simple job but can make the room look very different.
Another thing to consider is to paint any bathroom cabinets you have and change the handles to a look more fitting with your new design. Due to moisture levels, you may need a specialist cupboard paint, but you shouldn’t have too much trouble tracking one down in a suitable color.
Shelving and storage
If your bathroom is packed with bottles, creams, lotions, and other bathroom essentials, it might look a little messy. If this sounds familiar, bathroom shelving and storage could be the answer to your prayers. Shelving is particularly great for smaller rooms where floor space is limited. Use it to store towels and beauty products, or you can even display ornaments, candles, or your favorite perfumes.
Tidy up a little by using individual baskets for different types of products, or if your existing storage is limited, why not look for some free-standing bathroom drawers? They will help keep clutter to a minimum and give your bathroom a sleek new look.
Give some consideration to accessories
If you want to give your bathroom a touch of luxury, why not have waterproof speakers fitted or add a couple of wireless speakers so you can flood your bathroom with your preferred music or podcasts as you relax.
Candles are another fabulous addition that can visually enhance your room and create a welcoming and tranquil mood. Coordinating your bathroom accessories, such as toothbrush holders, soap dispensers, and towels will help bring your room together and finish it off nicely. With some planning and consideration, you can create a stylish bathroom you will be eager to relax in after a hard day.
