The bathroom is one of those spaces in most homes that often gets overlooked when it comes to decorating. Many homeowners end up focusing all of their time, energy, and finances on improving other areas of the house, such as the living room, kitchen, and even bedrooms. However, in reality, your bathroom is the first and last room you will visit every day, and you can be sure that just about every visitor to your home will step in there at least once. With this in mind, it makes sense to invest in freshening up your bathroom a little.
As every home, and bathroom space, are completely different, it’s crucial that you take the time to consider the space you will be working with before you get started. Not only is this important in terms of how you decorate and organize the space, but it is also essential in making functional changes to your bathroom’s design. For example, a person living in a small apartment will have very different needs from a young family living in a large house. Taking things like this into consideration will help you to come up with a design strategy and approach that will ensure your bathroom feels fresher than ever by the time you are done with your redecorating work.
Let’s take a look at five simple things that you can do to make your bathroom feel fresher and give it a new lease of life.
Spruce It Up
If it’s been a while since your bathroom has been decorated, it might look a little drab and dated. In fact, at the rate that decor styles change nowadays, there’s a chance that even if you decorated your bathroom in the last twelve months, some elements might already look out of place compared with the latest trends. Visit your local tile shop to see what the latest offerings are, give your space a lick of paint, or consider changing out your bathroom fittings to give the space a fresh, modern look that you can be sure you will love.
Declutter The Space
Nothing makes a room feel stuffy and stale than having clutter scattered everywhere. Unfortunately, in many homes, the bathroom is one of the main areas where clutter tends to gather. Empty shampoo bottles, old lotions and potions, half-full tubes of creams and pastes and all those beauty products that didn’t work out for you tend to haunt the countertops and storage areas in bathrooms around the world. Take the time to go through every inch of your bathroom and get rid of anything that you no longer use or will not use again in the future. Freeing up more space will instantly make your bathroom feel fresh.
Add Some Greenery
Nothing brings life to a room more than a few well-chosen houseplants. Adding some greenery to your bathroom space is a great way to make the room feel more alive, brighten up the room and make it feel more welcoming. Not only will adding a few plants to your bathroom add a touch of nature to your space but your new plants will also help to improve the air quality in your bathroom too. This means that not only will your bathroom look fresher but it will literally feel fresher in there too.
Allow More Light In
Brightening up your bathroom by allowing more natural light is an amazing way to make the space feel fresh and welcoming. While it might be a big investment upfront, installing larger windows or even putting in a skylight can be great ways to let more natural light flow into your bathroom. Allowing more natural sunlight to roam through your space is a great way to transform your bathroom and make it feel brighter, more spacious and certainly more welcoming.
Soft Furnishings
Finally, if you want to freshen up your bathroom interior, why not simply swap out or add some soft furnishings? You might be surprised at what a huge difference some new towels, a fresh bathmat or a shiny new shower curtain can have on your space. Take things one step further and add some candles and diffusers or take things up a notch by adding some fancy soaps, lotions and potions to your vanity counter setup. While changes like these might seem insignificant, they can have a huge impact on the overall look and feel of your bathroom space moving forward.
Make Sure Your Bathroom Feels Fresh And Revitalised
As a homeowner, you naturally want your home to look its very best. Following the tips outlined above, you can ensure that your bathroom feels rejuvenated, revitalised and fresher than ever before. Once you have finished updating your bathroom, you can be confident you will have a space that you will be confident to show off to anyone who visits your home.
