Simple Bathroom Designs
You can do most of these projects over the weekend or even in a few hours. You might want to try some of the suggestions, even if you have the budget for a large remodel, as they can make a huge difference in how your bathroom looks.
- Get Organized - You'll be surprised how different your bathroom will look if you eliminate clutter. Take everything off the counters, out of the cabinets, and off the floor. Your bathroom should be a clean slate. Separate your things into must haves, occasional use, and never use. Put the never use things in the trash or donate them; the occasional use things can be put in plastic bins in the cabinets; and the must haves can go in the front of the cabinet or on the counter in decorative storage containers.
- Paint - A simple solid color or a fun faux finish can give depth and character to your bathroom. You can even give your cabinets a new coat of paint or strip them and re-stain.
- Lighting - Change your lighting fixtures or add a small lamp to give your bathroom a new look. Candles can add mood lighting and scent as well.
- New Linens - Fresh new towels in fun colors are inviting and revitalizing. You can even add a new shower curtain, drapes, or a valance for a lush look.
- Switch Hardware - Unusual drawer pulls, robe hooks, and toilet paper holders can give your bathroom a luxurious, well-appointed look.
- Art - Local craft sales are great for finding wall hangings and accessories for shabby chic bathroom designs. Rustic bathrooms can benefit from a western scene and a small succulent. Use an arrangement of pint-sized mirrors to open up a half bath or powder room.
