So you're tired of the look of your bathroom. Maybe you're thinking of a complete overhaul. Well, don't bring in the wrecking crew just yet. There are far easier and cheaper ways to revive your bathroom. Why not add a little "bling"?
Faucets, taps, shower heads, towel racks... These are the things that shine and sparkle in your restroom. Replacing those can make a big difference in the overall look. Chrome is nice, but don't forget there are many other finishes available out there. Why not consider brass, nickel or gold? Often these finishes are available in a polished look, or a brushed finish. Well designed faucets can almost be like a piece of jewelry. They really have a lot of class.
Of course, you should consider what design will best fit the rest of your bathroom. You can go for more traditional faucets, more ornate ones, or perhaps a clean, modern, sleek approach would be more fitting.
Whatever your style, make sure everything is well coordinated. You don't want a brass shower head with a chrome towel rack. But it doesn't stop there. Don't forget liquid soap dispensers, toothbrush holders or cotton swab canisters. These are now available in a wide array of colors and finishes. You may think forty-five dollars may be too much to spend on small items like this, but compared to re-tiling the wall, it's peanuts.
Also consider a nice chrome-plated shelf. Some of these double as a towel bar, saving you some space. Waste baskets can also be found in great finishes like chrome or nickel. And what about that old dingy scale you've been using for years? There are some gorgeous scales available these days. Some stainless steel, with digital read-outs, some beautiful retro-looking ones, with an analog dial... Even soap dishes have come a long way. Some very reasonably priced ones would be worthy of the finest hotels!
The key to adding a splash of class to your bathroom is to focus in the details. And yes, that even means your toilet paper dispenser. Take the time to pick the right one. The one that will fit with the rest of your accessories. Take a look at your cup holder, and even your shower curtain rings, are they adding or detracting from the overall beauty of the room? Little things make a big impact!
Finally, don't overlook the toilet brush and its case. Those plastic ones are not only cheap looking, they never seem to work right. You may never have thought you'd see "designer" toilet brushes, but they are out there! And some of them look really nice.
So instead of a complete and pricey "reno", consider adding a little "bling" to your bathroom.
