The Top Five Simple Ways to Give Your Bathroom an Upgrade

You think it's time for your bathroom to be transformed  and wonder what you can do to make a positive impact. Redecorating your bathroom and having it done by a professional can easily set you back a cool £10000 at a minimum, and the sky is the limit if you opt for special features. Fortunately, you don't need to do a great overhaul all at once; there are simple ways to upgrade your bathroom that can make a big difference. Just one little project can change the whole perspective. So where do we start? Here are the top five ways to give your bathroom the upgrade it's ready for.

Better lighting

You would be amazed at how easy it is to install a new kind of lighting and how much difference it can make. A bathroom must have bright lights especially when you're performing specific tasks such as personal make-up or maintaining specific body parts  but can be complemented with subdued lights and regulated dimming options so that a more relaxing atmosphere prevails when you take a shower or a bath. Changing your lighting option doesn't necessarily cost much, and pictures of hotel bathrooms are a great source of inspiration.

Think vanity and quartz

Vanities and countertops can make a big difference, too. Consider quartz. Your countertop is an eye-catching feature in the bathroom and can liven up the atmosphere, or make your bathroom look elegant and stylish in an instant. Quartz worktops come with a price tag, but they are extremely durable, hard to scratch, stain-resistant, and easy to clean.

Consider under-floor heating

It may seem like a great undertaking, but if you're having plans of replacing the floor tiles, why not install under-floor heating as well. If you're planning to break open the floor anyway, that'small extra expense is more than worth it.

With tiles, think large

And speaking of replacing the tiles, consider large tiles when you lay your new floor. They look great and demand much less of your time than smaller tiles when it comes to cleaning and maintenance.

Super-thick enamel

You can also replace your current toilet with one that has super-thick enamel. These finish so smoothly that they are much easier to clean and they consume less water too.

Of course, there are many other features you can have replaced or installed in your bathroom from different kinds of taps and showerheads, to another shade of paint, improved ventilation, larger mirrors, and even new and improved shower cubicles. Think detail a water-resistant painting or picture, a television, potted plants, a splash of colour. The main thing to understand is that you can adjust and renovate at your own pace and create that truly luxurious bathroom you deserve at your own time and budget. Small changes can make big differences.
