One of the most personal spaces that you have in your home is your bathroom. It’s where you apply your face masks at the end of a long day, it’s where you relax in a hot soaking bath, and it’s where you do karaoke in the shower.

You need to make sure that the bathroom is a space where you want to spend your time, and the best thing about a bathroom is that it can be updated, improved, and changed without requiring massive renovations. As long as you have the help of an electrician and a reputable plumber, your bathroom can be transformed into a brand new space. Are you still stuck on how this can work? Well, take a look at our tips below. We put forward to you plenty of ways that you can upgrade your bathroom and make it easy.

  1. Get rid of your old shower curtain. As you need somewhere easy to do shower karaoke, the last thing that you need is saggy shower curtains. Nobody likes shapeless curtains that attract mold when they are wet and haven’t been hung properly, so let’s make a change. Showers have the best acoustics for belting out those latest hits, and you’ll find that they bounce much easier when you switch out the curtain for a screen. Shower screens are basically a simple glass panel that doesn’t have a frame. There’s no need to worry about mold buildup, it can add brightness to the space, and you don’t have to consider anything other than giving it a wipe down each time you wash.
  2. Upgrade your paintwork. Most of the time, you’ll find that bathrooms are either tiled, paneled, or painted. Some people do enjoy wallpaper in their bathrooms, but if your space is quite small with very little ventilation, pain is your friend. A new coat of paint can really change the way that your bathroom looks, making it appear cleaner and newer. With bolder, brighter wall colors, you will find that the reflection is less than flattering. You want to think of a light, pastel colour that makes the bathroom look bigger and makes the room feel fresh. Having a primer along with a mold resistant paint is a smart idea. You want to avoid peeling and you want to avoid any green speckles.
  3. Renovate your ventilation. Speaking of ventilation being an issue in smaller bathrooms, make sure that you have a good bath or shower fan. The whole point of an exhaust in the bathroom is to remove the moisture from the air and that includes the water that sits on that frameless shower screen we were talking about. You want to make sure that you eliminate any bathroom odors, and your fan can be that. Plus, once you’ve had your shower you may want to look in the mirror afterwards, so with a good fan in the bathroom will not only help the moisture to reduce come out you’ll improve the safety of your home. You don’t have to get anything massive or expensive, but just a simple replacement of the older, noisy bath fan that you already have can help to reduce that humidity.
  4. Change out the hardware. If you want to make your bathroom feel brand new in an instant, then upgrading the fixtures is going to help. Think cabinet knobs, shower hooks and faucets. If you make sure to match the finish of the hardware, you’ll be able to bring the whole space together and it’s going to look fantastic.
  5. Don’t forget your lighting. While you’re busy replacing your fixtures and fittings, don’t forget the light fixtures. If the lighting in your bathroom highlights everywhere that’s wrong with the room, you need to have better fixtures and place your lights around your bathroom vanity. This will give you a much cleaner and better appearance of the room and it will really help you when you are looking at yourself in the mirror. Think about replacing those older fixtures with something newer and trendy in bathroom lighting.
  6. Go green. We talked about bringing nature into space, but thought about going green. Reusable containers for your soaps, shampoos and conditioners can help to improve the aesthetics of your bathroom while also giving you away to just use refillable pouches rather than buying new bottles all the time. It’s a great way to recycle your plastic and cardboard packaging at the same time, too.
  7. Learn to fold your towels. A simple upgrade to your bathroom is to stop hanging towels on hooks and learn to fold them the way that hotels do. Something as simple as this, having rolled hotel towels, can really improve the way that you feel about your bathroom.
