Your bathroom is the one place guests and friends will always need to visit, If yours is looking dated or doesn’t match the style of the rest of your house, then a quick refresh is definitely needed.
While it may seem unimaginable that you can transform your bathroom at a weekend, using off-the-shelf fixtures and adding little changes to your decor can prove magical. We’ve found the top 5 ways to give your bathroom a refresh, and they can all be done on one single Sunday afternoon:
01
Replace your vanity and basin
A tired-looking bathroom vanity is easier to replace than you might think. You can create a big impact in just a weekend, going from daggy to dapper without a full rip-out job.
Keep your replacement vanity and basin simple in design. This will help it blend into already existing elements in the bathroom, like the floor and wall tiling. Simple also means that your decor and accents can do the heavy lifting when it comes to styling.
02
Pair style with function
Balancing function with form is critical in a small bathroom. A mirrored cabinet with an overhead task light will keep your clutter contained while opening up the space while utilising your bathroom amenities as decor items will push your styling to new heights.
Not every bathroom product you use has to look aesthetically pleasing, but placing your favourite fancy soaps and a candle on your vanity takes away the need for excessive knick-knacks that take up space. Better yet, choose toiletries that can be refilled easily. With so many sustainable options out there, you’ll be sure to find one that matches your bathroom design.
03
Replace your shower and sink tapware
Old tapware can easily make your bathroom look dated. This simple fix will elevate your bathroom in all used areas, and give everything that extra bit of shine.
The best part about this DIY is that you can get it done in a single afternoon, and your bathroom will look completely transformed by the end of it!
04
Add in an accent colour
By sticking to the existing bathroom colour palette, you can pick and choose the elements you want to update without having to gut the whole space. For this bathroom, staying true to the neutral colour palette was simple, especially when replacing the vanity and basin.
For levelling up your style, adding an accent colour will do the trick. Here, we’ve chosen black as an accent, which can be easily matched throughout the bathroom decor, including the overhead vanity light, the small stool and the bathroom amenities.
05
Refresh your towels
Towels are an essential element in the bathroom and one of the easiest ways to refresh a tired space. Choose towels that match the space without dominating it, like this simple stripe.
If replacing your towels is not in the budget, our top recommendation is to make them hotel-quality and increase their softness. Fluffy, soft towels are all you need.
