Bathrooms are not only a place for essential hygiene but also a refuge for relaxation and venting for the likes of us. So if we don't keep it clean and attractive to our own eyes, we are unable to do away with the day's exertion. The place should come across as nurturing and relaxing to sum it up. So let's get into the quickies to remodel your bathroom and renovate it into a spot of the house you'd reach out to after a long day.
Easy ways to remodel bathroom
Let's do away with the wrong notion that if one's bathroom is small, there is very little scope for remodeling your bathroom. Rather here are the ways that work for both kinds if revamping is on your mind.
- Watch out! The floor!
- Oops! It's leaking.
- Let's paint it up.
- Where lies all the shampoo bottles?
- Time for a good shower
1. Watch out! The floor!
Hey so let's get started with the bottoms up first. Now firstly you need to decide on the kind of flooring that's convenient for you. You can go with mosaic or tiles, either of the two. With tiles, remember to keep it simple and easy, a darker shade will spoil the serenity of the place. So for the floor, go for neutral colors. You can also use the same tiles for the walls up to a certain level, preferably covering up to six feet. So in case the water, while showering spreads across the walls, it wouldn't harm the paint for that matter. Or you can punch it up with a different set of tiles for the floor and maybe a pictorial one for the walls.
2. Oops! It's leaking!
Be sure to call the plumber and fix the loose ends of running taps and leaky pipes. If things are getting old it's always best to replace them. Look up the internet for some best brands to make the purchase. When it comes to taps and showers, do not go for any local brands in the market. The items that come with a proper guarantee should be the ones to be fitted in your washroom. Remember every day you don't want to run into the same clogging and water issues. So make a clear choice here.
Next, the focus should be on the matching factor! I'm sure you don't want a peach tile and blue taps, do you? It's always a wise choice to fit the steel-coloured ones as they go with all shades in your bathroom.
To enhance the aesthetic a bit, use stoned basins with the gray color, the darker shade here will be contrasting to the neutral colors of the bathroom.
3. Let's paint it up
Always make sure that you go one shade lighter on the color you're having on the tiles. You can also contrast this up with the ceramic or porcelain tiles on the walls. Make sure the texture is smooth, so use sandpaper to remove the uneven old paint chipping off the wall. If the walls are broken around the crooks and corners, make sure to fill them up with cement first.
4. Where are the shampoo bottles
It's the cabinets and racks we're talking about. Considering that you've got a small bathroom, things are likely to get messed up with the arrangements and accessorizing the shelves. And as far as it's possible, you may be highly confused about where to put what, for that matter even where to put up the cabinet itself.
It's prescribable you try out the wall hanging ones available in the market. They are pretty handy and you don't have to compromise with space. Moreover, the cabinets with inbuilt mirrors are quite cost effective and the storage space is also ample. Another interesting fact is that you don't need to dust them up and clear off the space of empty cans and used accessories every day because no one's peeping in!
5. Time for a good shower
So last but not least let's look into the bathroom and have a cursory glance over the nitty gritties in there. Well for starters how about a couple of aromatic candles, scented perfumeries, and a couple of tiny potted cacti here and there, maybe one on the side of the sink, one right before the mirror, next to the toothbrush holder? A frilly curtain around the shower and a small stand to keep a few handy magazines for the times you'll sink in the comforts of your bathtub.
So that's more or less a few easy, cost-effective ways to give your bathroom a demodulation and a soft touch of gentleness. Keep it in mind never to overdo a small space because that can simply spoil the atmosphere inside. Simplicity and effortlessness are the key!
