Bathroom Makeover Ideas
by
Simon Phillips
If
your bathroom is looking a little tired or outdated, there are lots of
things you can do to improve its appearance and give it a fresh new look,
without the expense of a complete overhaul.
Here are a few ideas to get you started:-
- Replace your
grey and moldy old shower curtain with a nice new one.
Plastic or fabric shower curtains are inexpensive to buy,
incredibly easy to change, and a great way of adding a splash of
color to dull décor on a tight budget.
Something as simple as hanging a clean new shower curtain
can have a big impact on your bathroom’s appearance.

If
you’re willing to spend a bit more, replacing your shower curtain
with a glass shower door or screen is a great way to add the
wow-factor.
Frameless
shower doors made from tempered glass are ideal for a sleek, modern
look, whereas those with a chrome, brass or gold plated frame can look
stunning in a more traditional themed bathroom.
Be practical when choosing a shower door and think about how it
will open. A folding door
that opens outward looks grand and elegant, but is likely to bang into
your sink or toilet if you have a small bathroom!
If your shower is above your bathtub, a space-saving sliding
door is a good choice.
-
Install
a new vanity cabinet.
Bathroom
vanities come in all sorts of different styles to suit bathrooms of
all themes, from decorative furniture styles to minimalist
contemporary designs.
Bath
vanities usually consist of a base storage cabinet with an inlaid sink
on top. They are great
for making the most of a small room and provide useful storage space.
An attractive bathroom vanity will be a focal point of your
bathroom and can work wonders at giving the whole room a stylish new
image.

Replace
your existing bathroom cabinets or simply paint the doors for a quick
and simple makeover.
Wall
mounted bathroom cabinets tend to attract our attention as they are at
eye level, and a tatty or old fashioned cabinet can really tarnish a
bathroom’s appearance.
Wall
cabinets come in a huge range of sizes and styles, from wooden ones
made from cherry, walnut or oak to those with hand painted, distressed
or laminated finishes.
In
a small room, having a mirror on a cabinet door is not only useful,
but can help create an illusion of space.

Get
rid of ugly or worn out taps on your sink and bath.
Often there is no need to go to the hassle and expense of
fitting a new bathroom suite.
Simply installing stylish new bathroom faucets can give a
tired bathroom an instant lift.
Bath and sink faucets come in a surprisingly large
variety of styles and finishes, from brass plated Victorian
styles for period homes to sleek looking chrome for the
contemporary bathroom.

If you
want to spruce up your bathroom but don’t want to spend a fortune on a
whole new suite, retiling etc, then changing just one or two elements of
your bathroom’s design can be very effective at giving the room a lift
without blowing your budget.
