bathroom makeoverAccording to studies, the average person will spend almost a year and a half of their lifetime in the bathroom. If you’ll be spending this much time in a room, you might as well go the extra mile and turn your bathroom into a space that reflects your style and personal taste. Want to get started on your very own bathroom makeover? Here are 8 simple ways to getting that bathroom that you’ve always wanted.

  1. Repaint those walls

One of the easiest ways to change the look of your bathroom is to update your walls. If you want your bathroom to look more modern, repaint your bathroom walls in a fresh hue that will complement your space. White might turn out to be too bright so get that cozy feeling with a more subdued shade like pale yellow or eggshell.

  1. Buy a new sink

Another thing that you can do to update your bathroom is to buy a new sink. Stone sinks can give your bathroom a touch of class so if you’re thinking of getting rid of your outdated cabinet vanity, now is the perfect time to get an upgrade. Invest in a high quality sink that will last you a lifetime.

  1. Choose the right toilet

Replacing your toilet doesn’t necessarily have to be expensive since there are a lot of good quality one piece toilets that you can get for a couple of hundred dollars. Choose a model that will not only suit your bathroom perfectly, but also be comfortable to sit on. It is your throne after all.

  1. Use mirrors

We all know that mirrors can make small rooms seem much bigger so if you want to add a sense of space to your bathroom, hang a couple of stylish mirrors on your walls. You can use mirrors with different frames if you want to decorate your wall at the same time.

  1. Pick out the right lighting

Lighting can be a crucial element in creating the right mood for any room so if you have the time and money, look into changing your bathroom lighting. To make your bathroom brighter, opt for halogen lights since they are proven to be more efficient than incandescent bulbs. Halogen lighting is said to be more consistent so you won’t have to worry about flickering.

  1. Organize your space

Since you’re already in the process of fixing up your bathroom, take the time to organize your space.  Look around your bathroom and try to see which areas you will be able to maximize. Choose cabinets and shelves that you can install in awkward spaces in your bathroom to really make use of the space.

  1. Invest in quality flooring

No bathroom makeover would be complete without quality flooring. When buying flooring materials, always look for quality first to get the most out of your money. Whether you’re looking at quartz tiles or stone tiles, be sure to purchase from a reliable supplier. You can also consider sandstone paving if you’re remodelling a big bathroom.

  1. Have a focal wall

Lastly, if you want a dramatic focal wall, look for quality glass mosaic tiles. Mosaic tiles can bring style and colour to your boring walls without the expensive cost. All you need is a blank wall, some mosaic tiles and basic installation know how. In just a few hours, you’ll be able to turn your dull bathroom wall into a unique work of art.
