The bathroom is a core room of the house and one which gets some of the most use. Not only is it something the people living in the home will use, but also visitors. It needs to be a space that’s functional and practical but also relaxing. If you currently have a bathroom that needs an upgrade, it might be because you’ve moved somewhere new and have the old owner’s decor. Or perhaps you haven’t given it an upgrade in a while. No matter what it is, when it comes to upgrading your bathroom to make it beautiful but functional, we have the top tips you need to know. Keep on reading to find out more.
Think of a colour scheme
When it comes to doing up your bathroom, the first thing you need to think about is your colour scheme. You want something smart and fresh and that makes the most of the space you have. Seeing as it’s a room you want to keep clean and tidy, opt for neutral, relatively plain colours such as whites or light blues. These will also help the room to feel more bright and somewhere you want to spend time. It’s a good idea to have a neutral decor but add in splashes of colour through accessories and plants.
Opt for high quality materials
From your tiles to your taps, you want to opt for high quality materials as much as you can in your bathroom. This is a room you don’t want to be doing up too often so it’s better to buy high quality to begin with so it lasts. We recommend tiles such as the likes from Freelands Tiles and choosing ones that are versatile and easy to team with other items in your bathroom.
Find good metal taps that won’t chip or rust easily as well as the same features when looking for your bath and sink. While it might be a little more expensive, as the saying goes, buy well buy once, buy cheap buy twice!
Add personality to your room
When looking for a bathroom that’s functional but beautiful, add in personality to make it your own. You could put pictures up on the walls, decorate a wall with wallpaper, add in plants, candles and reed diffusers or pop a funky bathmat in the room and make it really feel like yours. You’ll be surprised what a difference a space can look like when you’ve put your stamp on it. It’s a win win situation and you’ll want to be in your bathroom all the time!
These are just a few things you can do to upgrade your bathroom and ensure it’s not just functional, but beautiful too. There are so many things you can do to make the most of your space and some can be done today, otherwise you can do an entire bathroom rehaul.
