For every family, the bathroom is an important room. It is more than just somewhere to freshen up. A lot of people enjoy taking a long leisurely bath. It is a great way to relax. But, it is only a nice experience if your bathroom looks and feels nice. If yours is looking a little old and tired, do not worry because there are some really simple ways for you to freshen things up a bit.
Replacing the flooring
If the floor needs renewing to the discount flooring depot and take a look at what is available. They sell an incredibly wide range of product and are one of the few online firms that are happy to send you samples. This is a great way of working out if the colour and quality are right.
If you do decide to opt to lay engineered wood flooring just be careful to order the type that is designed for use in a damp environment. This type of flooring can be laid in about 2 hours, looks good and is hard-wearing, all of which makes it a great option for a family bathroom.
You don’t necessarily have to re-tile
When it comes to updating a bathroom, the worst job has to be re-tiling. If you can avoid doing it, you really should. Fortunately, there are lots of other ways to update and spruce up your existing tiling. Simply cleaning it and using specialist grout paint can have a transformative effect.
Cracked tiles can be replaced individually using different, but complementary, tiles. Or you can use decals to cover them up or give your bathroom a fresh new look. Mirrors are great for covering issues up too and freshening things up. They do not take long to hang and you can buy them in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Mirrors help to reflect the light, which means that they help to make the bathroom feel more modern, brighter and, in some cases, bigger.
Create more storage space
A cluttered bathroom will never look nice. Get everybody into the habit of putting their toiletries away. To encourage them to do this provide everyone with a basket to stow their toiletries and other personal hygiene items in. This can be slotted into a rack that is set up in the corner of the bathroom. Better still, when each member of the family is finished in the bathroom, they can take their little storage basket with them and slide it under their bed. You can find plenty of attractive, easy and innovative bathroom storage ideas, online.
Update your towels and bath mats
Swapping your thin, worn towels for some nice new fluffy ones will also have a positive effect. If you use a bath mat update that at the same time.
Add a couple of plants
A plant with big green leaves will look fantastic in any bathroom. Aloe Vera looks especially nice and will thrive in the warmth and moisture. But, the fact that there is a sharp point on the end of each leaf means they may not be a good idea if you have children. Instead, opt for bromeliads, ferns or aspidistra.
