Most of us spend a fair amount of time in the bathroom, whether it’s to have an invigorating shower in the morning, or relax in the tub after a hard day in work. You may even just use the bathroom as a way of escaping the chaos in the rest of the house.
Whatever your reason for using the bathroom, you want to make sure it’s a pleasant place to spend time in. This is not going to be the case if the bathroom in your home is looking worn and outdated. If this sounds like your bathroom, it may be time for a makeover. You may want to get some help from experts in custom home design , who can help you create the bathroom you want. But, if you want to get started yourself, here are some bathroom makeover ideas to spark your imagination.
Create a feature with decorative tiles
Using decorative tiles in your bathroom helps you to put a bit of your own personality in into the makeover. But, you need to be careful that you do not overdo it. Using too many decorative tiles in one place can end up making the design seem confused and over the top. It’s a better idea to use a few decorative tiles to create a feature in the room, such as a surround for a mirror.
Opt for bold black and white
Black and white designs in a bathroom can make a bold statement. One thing to remember is that you should keep things big and simple in a small room. For instance, do not opt for a busy black and white pattern with the tiling, if there is not much space in your bathroom. It’s a better idea to choose larger tiles and a simple, larger pattern.
Create storage space in a small bathroom
If the bathroom in your home is small, you may struggle to find enough space for storage. This is why you need to make the best use of the space you have, if you are designing a makeover. Think about using a shower caddy for items such as shampoo, shower gel and sponges. It’s also a good idea to make use of shelving or wall hooks, so that you use space on the walls, as well as the floor.
Give cabinets a new lease of life
Making over your bathroom does not need to be expensive. You can make use of items that you already have, and simply give them a new lease of life. For instance, if you have a bathroom cabinet that has started to look a little shabby, you do not need to replace it. You can simply sand it down, and repaint it. You will be amazed at the difference a fresh coat of paint can make.
Think about lighting options
If you are redesigning your bathroom, do not forget to think carefully about where lighting fixtures and switches are located. You need to have easy access to switches. You also need to have sufficient lighting to be able to see clearly when you are using a bathroom mirror. It helps to have a separate light above the mirror which you can use specifically for that purpose.
A simple makeover can give a whole fresh look to one of the most important rooms in your home. Hopefully, we have given you some useful tips to get you started.
