Accessorizing Your Bathroom

Bathroom Decorations

Today the bathroom or washroom or ‘water closet’ is no longer just a place to go and do your business. It has become more like a spa or a place to go and get away from everyone then just a utilitarian space to brush your teeth or clean up or, well, you know.

As such more and more people have been giving a long hard look at their bath spaces and realizing that the 50’s tile and boring hardware just isn’t cutting it for them anymore.

High-end bathroom restorations where you gut the space and put in all new equipment can be very expensive and time consuming.

But there are some things you can do without major changes to redress this space and make it your own.

I’m talking about bathroom design furniture and accessorizing of course!
Tub, Tiles, Toilet : A First Inventory

First take inventory – if you have a basic 5×10 space with blue tile and white tub and toilet you may be a little limited to how much changes you can make, but odds are you can still make a world of difference without replacing anything major.

For instance the often unnoticed towel, toilet paper and soap racks that litter your wall space – have you really looked at them? Do so for a moment: do you like what you see or do you just shrug and think “yeah well, that works I guess”? If the later then big improvements can be made for just a few dollars and using nothing more then a screw and hex driver!

Most modern-day home supply stores have a variety of styles and materials of fixtures for bathrooms. Changing out an old 70’s style square chromed tube holder for one with white porcelain end caps and polished or satin nickel finishes can change the entire feeling of a room and can be done in a day easily even on a modest budget
