Whether you’re completely renovating your entire home or you’re just bored with the current look of your bathroom, refreshing the aesthetics of your lavatory isn’t going to be as daunting of a task as you may think. While renovations can be expensive, we’ve compiled a list of ideas that will not only freshen up the look of the facilities but will also keep you within your budget.
Decorate Your Mirrors
The lavatory mirror is one of the most commonly used items in your home. What makes a mirror so unique is that it exists for purely aesthetic purposes. It stands to reason that your mirror should also receive an aesthetic makeover. This can be accomplished by creating a decorative border around the mirror. This will increase its ability to reflect light and create extra space.
Alternatively, you could decorate your mirror with stickers, flowers, rhinestones, beads, or shells to give it a unique look. All you would need are the decorative items, a hot glue gun, and some creativity.
Restore Ceramic Surfaces
Ceramic surfaces in your lavatory can become dull and stained with rust, limescale, and mildew. Consider giving these surfaces a face-lift with specially-designed cleaning products that will restore the sparkle and original color of your sink, tub, or toilet. You will be pleasantly surprised by the refreshing new look of your ceramic bathroom surfaces.
Rethink Your Lighting
For the copious amounts of daily activities in the bathroom, one thing it cannot be lacking is proper lighting. Most lavatories posses one or two light fixtures that are usually located around the mirror or on the ceiling to assist with grooming and bathing.
For homeowners looking to add elegance and luxury, consider updating your light fixtures. For optimal lighting, you can opt to have a professional home renovation company, such as Alair Homes in Hamilton, install a stylish skylight that will open up the room and bathe it in warm, natural sunlight.
Update Existing Fixtures
Replacing fixtures like faucets, knobs, towel racks, soap dishes, and hooks, in your lavatory with modern and stylish fixtures is a brilliant way to give a boring room a refreshing makeover. If at all possible, these new fixtures should match one another in color. This will allow the color scheme in your bathroom to remain uninterrupted.
If it’s not possible to obtain replacement fixtures in the same exact color and finish, instead opt for matching different sets of fixtures and create a contradicting contrast color theme. As an example, sink faucets and knobs should match bathtub faucets and knobs. The towel racks, cabinet handles, and soap dish should all match one another to properly coordinate the style and theme of the room.
Pattern the Walls
Nothing will bring your lavatory to life like a fresh coat of paint or a layer of stylish wallpaper. While wallpapering can be an expensive renovation, you can reduce the cost by carefully shopping for wallpaper that’s on sale and by rolling up your sleeves to apply the wallpaper yourself.
Before you begin shopping for wallpaper, you should decide how many walls you’re going to cover. Consider wallpapering the bottom half of the walls and adding a wooden border where the wallpaper ends. This will add a rustic charm to the room and will cut down the cost of the wallpaper.
