Bathroom Remodel: Easy Ways to Change the Look of your Bathroom

Changing the look of your bathroom doesn’t require a lot of money or an abundance of time. In fact, you can remodel your bathroom even with limited funds and time. All it takes is some creativity and determination to give that drab and boring bathroom and fresh face.

Storage Options

Forget about those ugly storage bins currently hosing extra toiletries, use decorative containers to give your bathroom a facelift. Old wooden crates turned on their side and hung on the wall provides storage for extra rolls of toilet paper and towels, while giving the bathroom a country sheek look. Another option is to upcycle an old nightstand into a bathroom storage unit. You can also increase the amount of storage inside your shower by hanging a multilevel fruit basket above the tub.

Bathroom Hardware

Replacing the hardware, especially if the hardware is outdated or worn, will rejuvenate an old and dingy bathroom. Unfortunately, this is not always the cheapest or easiest option. Bathroom hardware is often expensive and the installation process will require work on your part. With that said, the options for bathroom hardware are practically endless, which means you have an abundance of choices depending on budget and style.

Bathroom Accessories

Luxury bathroom accessories sets can completely change the look of your bathroom without much of an effort on your part. Most accessories sets work double duty as they are usually functional and decorative. When choosing the right set, consider the color and overall design of your bathroom. No matter what style you’re trying to convey, bathroom accessories will help get the point across. If you cannot find a commercial accessory set to fit your needs, create your own using mason jars, vases, dishware or anything else you can get your hands on.

Wall Treatments

If you don’t want to repaint all your bathroom walls, you can apply a wall treatment to just one single wall. For example, covering the wall behind the sink with a bold wallpaper will draw the eye to that area and create a central focus point. Or you can paint the wall behind your bathtub a neutral color to create calming atmosphere. Wall treatments allow you to improve the entire look of your bathroom in a more budget-friendly way.

Other Options

The area underneath the bathroom sink doesn’t always look the best. And replacing the sink is pretty expensive. Instead, create a unique skirt for the bathroom sink using a bed-sheet with a pretty pattern. If you’re not good at sewing, use iron-on hem tape to create the sink skirt.
