How You can Easily Update Your Old Bathroom and Make it More Modern

If you're tired of your old bathroom and would like to refurbish it but you can't give your bathroom a complete overhaul, there's good news: you can still make your bathroom look more modern with a few relevant changes. It can be as simple as changing your hardware, for instance, or it can be as dramatic (and satisfying) as installing a new bath or a steam shower. Here's how you can easily update your bathroom and make it more modern.

Replace the mirror

Your bathroom mirror plays an important function, as you need it to groom yourself and perform other important tasks such as shaving and applying makeup. But you can make your bathroom look more modern and attractive simply by replacing your old mirror with a new one. A mirror with a medicine cabinet is so 80's ? why not install a modern, framed mirror, or put up an entire mirror on one wall? When choosing a mirror, though, make sure it fits with the theme of your bathroom.

Make a few hardware and fixture changes

Sometimes, all it takes is replacing your old hardware and fixtures with new ones. If you have old, worn-down cabinets and cupboards, it's easy to put up new ones in more modern materials and colours. Your fixtures can also do with a replacement or two; shiny new chrome fixtures can make all the difference.

Put up new wallpaper 

It may be your wallpaper that makes your bathroom look old, so perhaps it's also a good time to replace it. For a more modern touch, go for bold and bright prints and patterns. If you'd like to stay subtle, then go with some contemporary colours such as grey, beige, and plain (but beautiful) white. Stay away from 'dated' colours.

Replace the lights

If your bathroom has an overhead light, it may also be a good idea to replace it with new lighting. Or perhaps you can add some additional lighting to your bathroom in the form of spotlights, pendant lights, wall sconces, and lights around your bathroom mirror. You?d be surprised at how good your bathroom will look with a layer of lighting, and it's easier to set the mood and vibe for relaxation as well.

Install a steam shower 

If you want to get the full benefits of a modern bathroom and really be able to relax at the same time, your best option would be to get a steam shower. Steam showers today are full of amazing features, including body jets, LED lights, touch control panels, aromatherapy, FM radios and Bluetooth connections, and rain showerheads , and that's just the beginning. They're more affordable, too, and installation is easy as well.
