5 Easy ways to spruce up your bathroom

A bathroom is much more than just a couple of faucets and showers. It is a complete room in itself, one with its own furniture, lights and flooring. It defines the home and the home owner just as much as any other room in the house.

Re-designing a bathroom to give it a new and modern look to express your taste need not be an expensive and elaborate affair. Here are a few ideas to renovate your bathroom without spending too much money.

Lighting – Lighting is one of the most easily overlooked aspect in a bathroom and can make a whole lot of difference in the look and feel of the space. Strategically placed concealed lights and mirror lights can change the entire ambiance of the bathroom.
Furniture – A small investment in bathroom furniture like a vanity or bathroom cabinet can raise the style quotient by a huge factor. Besides being attractive and classy, vanities are immensely useful and provide storage space for many bathroom utilities that otherwise clutter the bath space.
Accessories – One of the easiest ways to spruce up the bathroom is to replace your counter top accessories. Put up a nice big mirror or change the soap dishes and see the difference for yourself. A new towel rod or a glass shelf can do wonders to how the bathroom looks. A small indoor plant on the basin counter can cheer you up every time you enter the bathroom.
Bathmats – Another small but effective way of introducing some texture and colour in the bathroom is to use bathmats. Don’t restrict yourself to just the regular bathroom rugs. Explore other options like runners or mats made out of soft pebbles or mould-resistant wood.
Walls – If you want to change the look of your bathroom significantly, consider re-doing the walls – or may be a single wall. Choose from a wide variety of wall tiles to change the colour scheme of the bathroom or to highlight a specific portion of the wall. It’s not costly and will definitely give the room a new look.
