A bathroom can either be a place of dull and boring perplexities, or something that you not only adore, but also look forward to. Turning your bathroom into a safe haven takes a lot of careful planning, but it’s not impossible. With these helpful tips, your bathroom will be looking fabulous and you’ll be well on your way to truly enjoying your new luxurious getaway.
- Countertop Accessories: Is your soap dish an old gift from your grandmother and your toothbrush holder simply a cup you found in your kitchen? Ditch the cheap chic and get matching countertop accessories – a little bit of color coordination can go a long way! Some very nice matching sets can be purchased at your local department store or bed and bath store.
- Edit, Edit, Edit! – Neither a great film performance nor an award-winning album has ever been created without the magic of editing. Similarly, designing your bathroom countertop is an art form that requires both experimentation and editing. If something doesn’t match the aesthetic, get rid of it and replace it with something that adds something to the decor.
- Decorative Sculptures: If your countertop space is big enough, add some decorative pieces like sculptures or vases that are good for filling out unused areas, not to mention the fact that they can add a great splash of color into the room.
- Change the Ambiance: Lighting can make a huge difference in bathrooms, especially small bathrooms. Adding a lamp, sconce, or simply switching to a new type of bulb can do wonders for not only bringing the room, but creating a more calming atmosphere as well.
- Different Bathroom Furniture: A new vanity, new shelving, new toilet, or new tub can really add a lot to your existing bathroom. Choose furnishings that fit the space well and create the appearance you want.
- Mirrors: There are two things you shouldn’t skimp on in your bathroom; the showerhead and your mirror. A mirror is the heart of the bathroom, and switching out an ugly frame can make the bathroom look not only bigger, but more beautiful. Set the funds aside to really splurge on a couple of nice mirrors during your bathroom renovation.
- Dress it up with Artwork: Nothing makes time spent in the bathroom go by more relaxingly than adding a bit of artwork. Take yourself into another world by putting some beautiful imagery in front of stationary areas like a bathtub or toilet. Splurge on artwork that you enjoy and that adds to the overall feeling of luxury.
- Live Plants: Orchids are great because they smell nice, giving your bathroom a constant fresh feeling. They are also incredibly thin, making them perfectly fine for any sized counter, not to mention the vibrant color they add. Other plants that thrive in a damp atmosphere should also be considered.
- Wall Decals: If there’s any room that should look a little different than the rest, it should be your bathroom. It’s the place where guests usually feel uncomfortable, so try to lighten the mood with some modern wall decals.
- A Fresh Coat: Although lighting and counter accessories are important to tying a bathroom’s overall look together, a fresh paint job is also a great way to get your bathroom from lackadaisical to luxurious.
