Easy ways to update your bathroom for LESS this season
Do you ever feel like your bathroom's stuck in a time warp? We believe that with a lot of inspiration and a little bit of work, you can easily transform your bathroom into an oasis of tranquillity where you can relax and wash your day away.
- Replace Your Shower Curtain – Toss out your bargain-store, mildewed curtain and hang a fresh, colourful number to instantly update your bathroom. Don't be afraid to be bold and make a statement, as the chances are that your neutral-hued bathroom suite can take it. We recommend something like Matthew Williamson's gorgeously lush floral prints, available for purchase at Debenhams.
- Lighten Up – Nothing says decadence quite like a chandelier. The bathroom might not be the first place you'd think to install a fancy light fixture, but it really does work incredibly well. Furthermore, elegance need not always be expensive. The popularity of chandeliers means that they can be purchased on the High Street quite affordably.
- Tighten Up Your Tiling Game – Tiling can be costly, but there are ways to freshen up without having it cost the Earth. Replacing grouting can make a huge difference and can be done cheaply if you do the work yourself. There are heaps of great instructional videos available at your fingertips online. Alternatively, scrubbing discoloured grouting with a baking soda and vinegar solution can work wonders.
- Fitting Fixtures – Replacing dated taps and faucets can instantly update your washroom. Check out the range on offer at your local hardware store such as Homebase and we're sure you'll be pleasantly surprised by the modern, chic designs on offer.
- Accessorise – Adding matching accessories can really bring a bathroom together. From toothbrush holders to toilet brushes, matching collections to suit every budget are available to buy on Amazon. With quirky ranges, you can add a bit of whimsy to your washroom and make an instant talking point for guests.
- Accent – Say sayonara to drabness by painting yourself an accent wall. A brightly coloured feature can be a great way to liven up a dull part of your bathroom and by choosing one of the smaller sections, it needn't become too labour intensive.
- Get Arty – Why should art stop at the bathroom door? It's the perfect place to hang an interesting painting or photograph to contemplate.
- Go Green – Plants work wonderfully in the bathroom. Keep your eyes open for varieties that thrive in damp conditions or take the easy way out and fake it. There are wonderful imitation plants available and no one need know that you're not a green-fingered goddess.
- Declutter – The easiest way to spruce up your space is to have a good declutter. Dispose of or re-home unwanted and unused products and tidy your essentials into baskets, crates or boxes.
