Easy Updates for the Bathroom {and a few design tips}

Happy Friday!

Often the most neglected room in the home, the bathroom deserves just as much décor love as the other rooms in your home.  During construction or a remodel of your bathroom, you can add decorative elements like flooring, paint and fixtures to enhance the space but the decorating does not have to end there.  Just like refreshing the accessories in your living room or family room, updating your bathroom seasonally or yearly is easy and doesn’t have to cost a lot.

Here are some quick and simple ways to update your bathroom anytime the mood strikes.

Slide1

PAINT THE CEILING

Tip:  A semi-gloss or gloss paint will add a bit of shine and make your bathroom look a bit more glamorous

ADD A DECORATIVE SHOWER CURTAIN

Tip:  Use patterned curtain panels (=more style, length and pattern option) as your outer layer with a clear shower liner behind

ACCESSORIZE THE VANITY WITH PRETTIES

GO WITH A DECORATIVE RUG INSTEAD OF A BATHROOM RUG

Tip:  Instead of multiple rugs, look for a rug that is large enough to cover most of the floor.  A single rug will add more visual impact.

Tip:  Always us a rug liner so there’s no slipping and sliding

Tip:  If the rug is in front of the tub/shower, go with a wool or wool blend which will hold up to water better

USE A PIECE OF FURNITURE FOR STORAGE & STYLE

Tip:  Replace the wood on an armoire with glass so that items can be seen and add to the décor of the bathroom
