Of all your home’s rooms, your bathroom is probably going to be the one that you visit the most. It’s where you begin your day and end it too. Virtually all your guests will see this room. Yet of all the spaces in your home, your bathroom is most likely to suffer from wear and tear. We tend to upgrade our living spaces, kitchens and bedrooms, but allow our bathrooms to age disgracefully. Keeping your bathroom up to date needn’t be as hard or expensive as it seems, however. In fact, it’s something that can be done affordably and rapidly. Here are just a few simple ways to give your bathroom a facelift.

1.Painting The Walls

A new coat of paint in a stylish and contemporary color will lift any room, but especially your bathroom. This is a very simple DIY solution to upgrading your bathroom, and you can choose either a crisp pastel, a vibrant shade or a neutral color to give a bright and clean feel.

2. Replace Your Mirror

This could be the simplest bathroom fix of them all. All you need to do is choose one which is the perfect fit for your bathroom as well as for your own unique personality. You can either choose a single oversized mirror or a number of small mirrors on one wall as an unusual collage. Switching the mirror is something which you can accomplish easily but it can make an enormous difference to your room.

3. Replace The Grout

Over time, grout grows dull and discolored. However, it’s one of the last things we look at changing. If your grout has become dirty and unappealing, consider replacing the grout or at least using a lightening pen which will restore its bright whiteness. This will make the space feel fresh without having to do a full renovation.

4. Change The Lighting

Take a look around the bathroom. Does it need to be brighter? Do your light fixtures fit in well with the theme? Changing the lighting is really quick and easy to do yourself without having to call in a professional and it can create a brand new ambience for your space. What about a brass wall sconce for a modern take on the vanity light? Or how about a chandelier for a more luxurious look for your bathroom?

5. Install A Vanity Unit

You can easily purchase a pre-made vanity unit which can simply be installed yourself without any need for a contractor. A vanity will add more sophistication to your space and change the appearance of your bathroom while also adding some storage.

6. Refinish The Tub

Is your bathtub looking unattractive? You don’t need to replace it – just refinish it. It’s an easy and economical solution and will make your tub look brand new. If you’re really keen to replace your tub, choose a drop in tub to replace it with. It’ll be the perfect fit for your needs and surprisingly simple to fit.

7. Replace Your Toilet Seat

If your toilet seat is unattractive or just plain boring, why not switch it out for a brand new one? There are lots of different affordable toilet seats on the market today, and you can choose a color that you like and which works well with your design scheme or even a patterned one which brings a cool new look to your room. Anyone can replace a toilet seat themselves, and it can upgrade your room instantly.

8/. New Fixtures

If your faucets and showerhead have seen better days, it’s time to switch your fixtures for brand new ones. You can choose affordable replacements which allow you to show your unique style and which bring a modern new look to your room. Whether you’re going for a contemporary and modern look with a chrome faucet and shower head or whether you’d rather go for something more traditional like brass or nickel, there’s sure to be affordable fixtures that look great and make a big difference to your space.

 

These easy ways to give your bathroom a facelift are simple and convenient and, best of all, won’t break the bank. You won’t even need to hire a contractor. What are you waiting for?
