Simple changes for big results

Sprucing up your bathroom can be as simple as removing, replacing and adding a few key items. Removing items and decluttering your bathroom can work wonders. It can make your bathroom feel lighter, as well as free up some valuable storage space.

• Remove anything that no longer works or belongs in the bathroom
• Remove all clutter from your benchtop, only keeping the bare necessities
• Clean out your bathroom cabinets and drawers, and throw away items that are out of date or that you no longer use
• Ditch your old towels and bath mat and make room for some new ones.

Replacing bathroom accessories and fixtures is a quick and relatively inexpensive way to give your bathroom an instant lift.

• Replace outdated bathroom fixtures such as toilet roll holders, door and drawer handles
• Install modern hardware such as shower heads, taps, and towel rails
• Update your light fittings — you may even wish to swap them for a bathroom heat light
• Treat yourself to new bathroom décor and replace items such as shower curtains, soap dispensers, bathroom mats and towels
• Replace battered cabinets with a freestanding vanity
• Get rid of your old window coverings and replace them with a sleek retractable blind, or a bamboo blind
• Breathe new life into your bathroom by repainting your walls or cabinets, or even painting over your outdated tiles.
 

Adding new items is a sure-fire way to update the look and feel of your bathroom.

• Add a spot of colour by painting a feature wall
• Bring nature inside by adding an indoor plant or an orchid
• Add some new shelving or some trendy baskets for extra storage space
• Add a touch of glamour by installing downlights or a gold-rimmed mirror
• Bring the space to life by hanging some trendy artwork.
 

Seek professional assistance

Giving your bathroom a makeover doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. With a bit of planning, most bathrooms can be totally transformed over a weekend. However, if you discover any plumbing issues, or electrical issues that need attention, seek the services of a registered professional. Do not attempt to fix them yourself.
