Not all bathrooms are modern spa experiences. And in some cases, old and out-of-date bathrooms can be frustrating to use. They often have a lack of storage or space. But what can you do to make the space more functional and work for your family? Here are some tips to get you started:
A fresh coat of paint
There is nothing a fresh coat of paint can’t fix. It’s simply the most affordable option to transform a room. Choose a color that matches your design aesthetic. Choose something in a light shade if you want the room to feel more open. Dark and jewel-tone colors can make the space pop for a more dramatic effect.
Install wainscotting or tile board
Installing wainscotting or tile board can give your bathroom a whole new look without requiring a huge construction project. You can get these items easily at any big box home improvement store, tack them to the wall and add decorative trim. It gives the illusion of a more sophisticated bathroom without all the work.
Upgrade your vanity
Swapping out your vanity can also give your bathroom an updated feel. Most vanities today are stand-alone furniture pieces that allow access to the plumbing. You can choose from a variety of styles. Some include the basin and others allow you to install something new and exciting. You can also swap out the faucet.
Replace fixtures
Replacing all the fixtures can also change the entire look of your bathroom. If you have dated fixtures in the tub, shower or sink, swap them out for something more modern. Don’t forget to change out your towel rods as well. A simple change can give your room an entirely new feel.
Change the lighting
Installing different lighting is also an excellent way to improve the look of your outdated bathroom. You can replace the vanity lighting and any overhead lights with new fixtures. These are generally easy to install independently and can update the space.
