Upgrading or making over your bathroom doesn’t have to mean a big, expensive bath reno. With a few easy tweaks and some imagination, you can completely refresh and renew your bathroom in a matter of minutes. A few tiny details like changing your bathroom hardware or rolling out a new rug can really make a huge difference when it comes to a small space like your bathroom. Check out our easy and affordable ideas:

Multi-Purpose Furniture

If you have an unused nightstand, small coffee table, or a small stool, place it in your bathroom for some extra storage space to hold small towels, makeup, toiletries, and other necessities.

Mask Storage Space

An open sink is always the best place to store your bathroom toiletries and supplies. You can easily sew your own sink skirt to cover the space up and add some pretty color to your bath. You can also make a skirt for your makeup vanity for a convenient place to stash all your bath and beauty supplies.

Update Hardware

Probably the fastest and most effective method to upgrade your bathroom is by changing your hardware. Switch up old knobs and pulls for something modern that will immediately elevate your bathroom from démodé to chic.

Pamper Yourself

Make your bathroom look like a glamorous little retreat for yourself by hanging up a small sparkling chandelier. Replacing your existing lighting for something more luxurious is the perfect way to amp up your small space!

Switch up Old for New

If your faucets are looking dull and even rusty, it’s definitely time to switch them up. Settle on a range of bathroom accessories like your faucet that will complement the knobs on your vanity and even the type of lighting you have installed. From shiny chrome to brushed bronze, the choice is all yours!

Re-do Your Vanity Doors

Instead of purchasing a whole new vanity, all you need to do is take off your vanity doors and give them a new lick of paint! Sand them down, prime, and slather on a fresh coat of lacquer, stain, or a bright paint color! Most modern bath vanities are leaning towards natural look, so a stain would be the perfect way to accentuate the natural essence of your wooden doors.

All That Glitters is Gold – 10 Drop-Dead Gold Bathrooms https://betterdecoratingbible.com/2014/02/28/all-that-glitters-is-gold-10-drop-dead-gold-bathrooms/ https://betterdecoratingbible.com/2014/02/28/all-that-glitters-is-gold-10-drop-dead-gold-bathrooms/#respond Fri, 28 Feb 2014 08:58:00 +0000 http://betterdecoratingbible.com/?p=7484 luxuco gold bathroom chandelier

Gold, black, and white is the perfect color combo to try out this season for your next bathroom makeover. There is something about gold that gives a room extra little oomph, creating a luxurious, posh atmosphere no other color can do. With the right eye for detail and accessories, you can use this color to your greatest advantage this spring. Here’s how:

Get the Perfect Reflection

Still stuck with that builders mirror from when you first moved into your home? Trash it and never look back! Purchase a gold-framed beauty for an easy bathroom update. Since you are limited with wall space, opt for a decorative gilded frame to make your mirror double as wall art!

Accessorize

Update your existing bathroom’s hardware with gold finished knobs on your cabinets, doors, and faucets. If you are going to swap your shower hardware, make sure to do a quick check on your shower pump to ensure everything is running smoothly before installing anything – this is vital for older homes.

Top to Bottom with Stripes

Black and white stripes add an electric, rebellious vibe to a space and look especially great when paired with gold mirrors, hardware, and lighting.

Wallpaper it!

Roll out a fresh wall covering with gold motifs like a tropical floral pattern with gold leaves and flowers. You’d be surprised at what a metallic wallpaper can do to a room!

It’s all in the Lighting

The perfect lighting can work wonders for your space and even for your face when doing your makeup! Consider a gorgeous chandelier with soft bulbs to make you look your best, and create warmth in your bathroom. There is nothing worse than having harsh over-head lighting that shows ever piece of dust on the floor and every pore on your face!
