The bathroom is such an important room in the home, it’s somewhere you can go to completely relax and unwind with a hot shower or bath- but it’s also the most difficult to redecorate. Maybe you’ve moved house and inherited an old and dated bathroom from the previous owners, or your bathroom might just be a bit worn out from years of use- there are some ways you can spruce it up. Here are a few ideas for all skill levels.
Painting
Adding a fresh coat of paint can refresh any room, and the bathroom is no different. If your room is only half tiled, you could repaint the already painted areas to make it look clean and more modern. Make sure you’re using a paint designed for the bathroom though so the steam and water doesnt wash it away or make it go mouldy. When it comes to the tiles, painting tiles is an easy and cost-effective way to refresh the room. You can choose special tile paints that are durable and moisture resistant and if you’re careful and do a good job the finished result can look really good! It’s a lot of work but works out way cheaper than having a tiler replace everything.
Upgrading Fixtures
If you have some basic plumbing skills, you could consider upgrading your bathroom fixtures. Swapping out an old sink, toilet or bathtub can make a big difference and if you swap them like for like (just newer and more modern versions) the plumbing is already in place making it easier to connect up. Other ways to update fixtures could be as simple as replacing taps, or swapping out the tired old shower curtain for a glass screen.
Updating the Flooring
Changing your bathroom floor can have a huge impact on how the room looks overall. Vinyl flooring is a great DIY option because it’s affordable, easy to install and available in various designs. It’s also water resistant making it perfect for bathrooms, and feels nice and warm underfoot compared to tiles. There are DIY tutorials for fitting vinyl sheet flooring and vinyl tiles online if you want to have a go yourself.
Adding Accessories
Even just adding small accessories can make a big difference in your bathroom. New towels, a new soap dispenser and a few decorative items can add personality and warmth. Plants are also a great addition as they bring a touch of nature and can help purify the air. Find good storage so that your products arent cluttering up the bathroom
When to Call in the Professionals
If you don’t have the time or the know how to do these kinds of projects yourself, calling in professionals is well worth it. While it will cost more, professional bathroom companies can handle everything from major renovations to minor updates and give a really good overall finish. If you look at companies like New Tech bathroom remodeling they can also provide design advice and help you choose the best materials and fixtures for your space which is handy if you dont know where to start.
