When it comes to redecorating, bathrooms tend to be pushed to the back of the pile, or may even be neglected altogether. However, with our easy and cost-effective suggestions, you can make sure that every room in your house makes a positive impact.
1. Contrast your colours
Who says that bathroom decor must be plain, dull or boring? The latest colour trend is to use block colours that pop. For instance, why not contrast light grey with a rose pink feature colour? Bold pairings such as these will make your bathroom stand out!
If your bathroom is too small for heavy or dark colours, an all-white bathroom with a colourful staple colour will still provide that same striking effect.
2. Dramatic mirrors
Mirrors are an essential item for any bathroom but that does not mean that they have to serve an entirely practical purpose. If there is a prime position in your bathroom for a mirror, make it your focal point. Lights should be positioned either side of your mirror, above it, or below it, in order to focus all attention there.
3. Shelving and displays
A set of painted shelves are not only great for storage but can improve your room’s aesthetics. If your property is rented, try using storage boxes instead. These can be found for low prices from any number of homeware providers.
Rather than leaving your beauty and healthcare products lying around on your sink basins, store them in storage compartments or makeup organisers to declutter your space.
4. Use tiles as an accent
Don’t over complicate your bathroom with too many different tile patterns or colours. Bright coloured tiles should be applied to your walls in moderation as they may quickly become outdated.
5. Modern features
We’ve all seen them. Glossy photos in the latest home magazine with state-of-the-art features and floating vanities. Whilst these features are impressive, they can also be very expensive, but don’t let that deter you! There are plenty of ways that you can apply similar design concepts on a budget.
Add some instant glam with your own version of a floating vanity using nothing but floating shelves and a decent mirror. Candles, plants and artwork can make your DIY vanity table even more eye-catching.
Bathrooms may not be a key room in your house but that does not mean that they should be boring and stale while the rest of your house screams character and style.
Mirrors and shelving are easy to self-install and increase convenience as well as design. Choose colours and styles that suit your room size, and don’t shy away from recreating impressive modern features that you would find in an ideal bathroom suite.
