Simple Bathroom Makeover Ideas

You don't have to endure a whole bathroom remodel to enjoy a fresh look. If your bathroom feels dull and dingy, there are a number of things you can do in a day or a weekend to really perk things up. Without spending a lot of money, you can freshen up your bathroom with organization, fresh color, updated lighting, and good accessories. And every one of these ideas will help to really make a difference in the look and comfort of your bathroom.

Get Rid of Clutter
This first project won't cost a cent, but will yield great results. Take everything - yes, everything! - out of your drawers and cupboards, off counters, and out of the medicine cabinet or vanity. It should look the way it did when you moved in. Choose only the must-have's and find the most convenient place to put them. Anything that is not essential should go out. The point here is to get rid of anything that you don't really need.

Paint a Fresh, Clean Color
If you're a resourceful and energetic homeowner, you might want to tackle repainting the bathroom in a weekend. The job itself really won't take too much time, and the results will be worthwhile. Get ready for the job and be sure you plan ahead. Map out the project and buy the needed supplies during the week in advance. Wash down the walls and use a de-glosser solution to make the walls ready for the new paint. Choose a paint color depending on your preferred style. To minimize the cost, try to coordinate with the fabrics you already have. If you're getting new fabrics, pick a color you love, taken from any fabric you'll be using in the room. Consider whether your room should have light and bright, neutral and pastel, or deep and cozy colors.

Change Fixtures
There's really nothing attractive about an old toilet seat or showerhead! Replace an old toilet seat or showerhead is a good opportunity to choose one that enhances your decorating theme and fits the style of your bathroom. We recommend Kohler’s Bancroft elongated toilet seat and Forté multifunction showerhead for affordable and superior quality. Check out the site for Kohler and see different styles of toilet seats and showerheads.

Add Decorative Accessories
Don't go overboard, but you can find some nice options for bathroom accessories in discount stores. Change out your old tissue box, add pretty soaps, and find pictures, shelf units, and small cupboards. Silk and real flowers and plants are perfect to spruce up your bathroom.

Use Attractive Containers
There are some things that just have to be in a bathroom. But you don't have to look at them all the time! Hide necessities in decorative. A beautiful crystal or colorful ceramic jar can hold cotton swabs or cotton balls. Use a pretty tray or rimmed basket to hold rolled-up washcloths. Find a decorative dispenser for liquid soap. Keep cosmetic pencils in an attractive mug and other cosmetics in a lidded basket.

Add Artwork
Most bathrooms have at least one bare wall with no fixtures. What a great place to hang a single piece or collection of framed prints. You don't need to invest a lot of money. Use postcards from travels, lovely pressed flowers, or mementos of travels or hobbies. Choose colors and art themes that will enhance your decorating scheme. Botanical prints look great in a garden style or English country home. Or a cross-stitch sampler framed in a cottage style home.

Remember that making over your bathroom should be fun and practical. You'll enjoy the fruits of your labor every time you walk past or into your fresh, new bathroom. And you won't have had to spend a lot of time or money to accomplish the transformation. Have fun!
