How You Can Freshen Up and Enhance Your Bathroom without a Major Remodel
?
The winter season is upon us, and we all know how harrowing it can be. But spring and summer should be here before you know it, and you will definitely have something to look forward to then. Lots of homeowners choose to do remodels and refurbishments during the spring and summer seasons, and rightly so. But if you would like to do a remodel of your bathroom in the coming months and aren't keen on spending hours of work and effort as well as money, here's how you can freshen up and enhance your bathroom without a major remodel.
Do it with paint
Painting your bathroom seems like such a simple solution, but it's a solution which has worked for many. You?d be amazed at the whole transformation of your bathroom with just a fresh and simple coat of paint. Paint can easily lose its lustre even after only a few years, and if you want your bathroom to look fresh, choose colours which are bright, cool, and crisp, such as nautical colours or plain and pure white.
Light it up
Another way you can freshen up the look and feel of your bathroom (and make it more functional) is with the use of the right lighting. Lighting elements can do a lot for your bathroom, especially if your bathroom has existed for years with just a single central fixture. Install wall sconces on either side of your bathroom mirror or place recessed downlights or spotlights in the corners. These can do wonders and make it easier for you to do some essential functions as well.
The power of de-cluttering
You may de-clutter the other rooms in your home on a regular basis, but have you ever thought of de-cluttering your bathroom? When you organise your bathroom, it will instantly look cleaner and brighter since there won?t be too many elements which distract the user and limit the space. Don?t forget to clear out cupboards, drawers, and shelves, and keep only those products which you use regularly. If you want your bathroom to become more functional, you can also hang open shelves to display your towels and linens as well as toiletries. You can even make use of open shelving to display knick-knacks such as picture frames, potted plants, and other personal elements which can give your bathroom more character.
Scrub it up
Of course, there's nothing like cleaning your bathroom until it'sparkles and shines if you want to freshen up the space. Scrub the floors and walls, and when you do, make sure to remove everything which isn't nailed down, including rugs, holders, furniture, hanging photos, and so on. Clean your shower enclosure from top to bottom and do the same with your bath as well. On a side note, you can also freshen up the space by replacing an old shower enclosure or unit with a new one; shower cabins come in all shapes and sizes nowadays, and a beautiful new shower cabin can definitely give your bathroom a more modern look.
Replace fixtures
You can also replace your bathroom fixtures whilst you're at it; fixtures can quickly look dingy and outdated and can make your bathroom look old and decrepit. Replace taps, basins, and the above-mentioned shower enclosure, and your bathroom will look as good as new.
