Update Your Bathroom Without A Contractor
With spring upon us, you may feel the itch to update your home and bring in a new feel. That itch may not also come with the ability to start a major construction project in your home. I’ve put together some ideas for how you can give your bathroom a fresh new look without breaking the bank or undergoing a major remodel. As an interior designer who's all about style and affordability, here are 6 ideas that will help you transform your bathroom into a space you'll love.
1. Fresh Paint: One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to update your bathroom is with a fresh coat of paint. Choose a color that complements your existing tile and fixtures to create a cohesive look. Soft, neutral tones can make your bathroom feel larger and more inviting, while bold colors can add a pop of personality and fun. Both Behr & Sherwin Williams are great paint companies with large offerings! Keep an eye out for an upcoming blog about selecting the right paint color & finish!
2. Wallpaper: Another great way to add color and pattern to your bathroom is with wallpaper. Today's wallpaper options are stylish and sophisticated, with designs ranging from subtle textures to bold prints. If you’re worried about the commitment of wallpaper look into removable wallpaper so that you always have the option to change your mind! You can find inexpensive fun options on Amazon or check out The Pattern Collective, Thibaut & Sanderson for great paste on wallpaper options. Note: Need help ordering? Reach out, I can help!
3. Replace Your Plumbing Fixtures: Upgrading your plumbing fixtures can instantly elevate the look of your bathroom. Swap out your old faucet, showerhead, and trim for stylish options that complement your bathroom's aesthetic. Chrome can add a bit of bling while satin brass adds a touch of vintage. Delta & Kohler are great reputable brands with very stylish fixtures or check out Moen or Pfister for more budget-friendly options!
4. Update Accessories: Sometimes, it's the little details that make the biggest impact. Replace your outdated paper holder, robe hook, towel ring, and other accessories with new, modern pieces. Look for sleek, minimalist designs that enhance the overall look of your bathroom.
5. Replace Vanity Light: Lighting plays a crucial role in the ambiance of your bathroom. Swap out your old vanity light for a more modern option that provides better illumination and complements your bathroom's style. If changing the fixture isn’t an option, updating the bulbs to be less yellow or a brighter hue can make all the difference. Mitzi is a great option for fun, funky reasonably priced lighting options!
6. Add Art and Decor: Finally, don't forget to add some personal touches to your bathroom with art and decor. Hang a piece of artwork that speaks to you, or add some stylish shelving to display decorative items and plants. A few carefully chosen pieces can make your bathroom feel like a curated retreat. Etsy or Great Big Canvas can be great places to find inexpensive fun prints to add some art into your space!
With these six simple ideas, you can update your bathroom without the need for a major remodel. Whether you're looking to refresh your space or add a touch of luxury, these budget-friendly tips will help you achieve the bathroom of your dreams.
