Bathrooms are important personal spaces in our home that we use at
least twice a day – more so when we are working from home. That is a lot
of wear and tear, which means your bathroom will probably need more
updating and maintenance than other rooms in the house. Additionally,
creating a pleasant environment that you feel comfortable spending much
of our time in is essential for your physical and mental well-being.
However, this does not mean you need a bathroom overhaul. Small
tweaks to the details require little effort and time, yet they can go a
long way in sprucing up the look and feel of your bathroom. Here are
some easy ways you can beautify your bathroom without any major
renovations.
UPDATE THE PAINT
One of the fastest ways to refresh a space is to paint it. A new colour scheme can transport something that was trendy a few years back into the current day, in line with present styles. Repaint your walls to give the space a new flair – even if it is just a few shades difference. This can help make a statement or take your interior design in a completely different direction. To refurbish the bathroom tiles, you can consider updating the grouting instead of repainting them. This can infuse the whole space with a breath of new life and is one of the simplest ways to decorate your bathroom.
SMALL THINGS THAT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE
When it comes to accessorising a modern bathroom, less is definitely more. Identify the key accessories you must have in the bathroom and remove the rest. Place these items strategically so that they are easily accessible yet still relatively unobtrusive to the eye.
If you store your towels in the bathroom, you can update the towel hooks or replace them with a wooden ladder instead. Open shelving is also a smart arrangement for easy access, but remember to organise the shelves regularly to avoid cluttering or a pile-up.
REPLACE FREQUENTLY USED ITEMS
With a high bathroom usage, items such as shower curtains should be replaced every year or so, or when you start to see mould and mildew form. Sometimes you can wash your shower curtains, but it is not applicable to all curtain materials. In this case, a more sustainable way of keeping your bathroom dry during your showers is to have a glass divider installed to replace your shower curtain permanently.
Lastly, replacing smaller personal hygiene items such as toilet brushes, soap dishes, and toilet paper holders can help spruce up a space that you can unwind comfortably in after a long day!
