4 Upgrades for a Stylish Bathroom

Nobody likes a boring and uninspired bathroom. Aside from being one of the few areas in your house where you can enjoy uninterrupted privacy and decompress from a long day, the bathroom also sets the tone for the rest of your home. As such, it’s important to put your heart and soul into decorating your bathroom so that it represents your preferred aesthetic and design tastes.

Your bathroom isn’t a place where you can take design shortcuts. With that being said, we’ve listed below four upgrades that can make your bathroom look more stylish and expensive.

Get a Mirror Upgrade

A tiny bathroom mirror won’t suffice. Other than being a necessary item where you can check out your appearance, a mirror also creates depth and space that can instantly enhance how your bathroom looks and create an impression of more space. Additionally, your choice of bathroom mirror can also be a style statement as you have a huge variety of styles to choose from such as vintage, traditional, or modern. When upgrading your bathroom mirror, Den Garden notes that you should carefully consider the other aspects of your bathroom such as the paint color, lighting, and fixtures.

Create Extra Storage

Your bathroom is a reflection of your personality, so you should do all you can to keep it tidy and clean. One way to stay on top of the clutter in your bathroom is by creating extra storage. Shelves, over-the-toilet units, and storage baskets can help you keep your bathroom looking spotless and keep clutter at bay. But before buying the materials you need to install these storage spaces, consider your bathroom’s overall theme and make sure that whatever kind of storage you choose fits in with it. To play it safe, you can get neutral pieces that can easily fit in with the rest of your bathroom decor.

Update Your Shower Fixtures ⁠

Getting new shower fixtures can instantly upgrade your bathroom in terms of function and aesthetics. What’s more, there’s a large amount of shower fixture design to choose from ⁠— whether it’s classic copper fixtures or smart showerheads that come installed with water-saving settings. A feature by HomeServe also highlights how updating your shower fixtures, especially your showerhead, can fix issues like low water pressure. If you don’t want to shell out cash buying new shower fixtures, a cheap way to upgrade the look of your bathroom is by painting the fixtures that you already have with metallic spray paints. This leads us nicely into our next point.

Freshen Up with a New Coat of Paint

If your budget’s a little tight, you can opt to paint your bathroom for an easy and cheap makeover. You can also go beyond painting your walls and instead change the color of the grout in your tiles, vanity cabinets, and fixtures. If you want your bathroom to stay on-trend, Interior Decor Trends claims that gray and neutral tones have made a comeback and will dominate bathroom color palettes this year.

It doesn’t take a lot of effort to have a stylish bathroom. For more ideas on how to decorate your home, be sure to check our post ‘Home Decor Gift Guide 2020’.
