When you’re stuck at home, it can be easy to get caught up in the home renovation craze that seems to be going around. If you’re not really up for a full DIY remodel of your bathroom but you’d still like to improve it without a costly and labor-intensive redo, then a bathroom upgrade might be the right option for you. There are plenty of ways to make your bathroom feel like it’s had a full update with just a few changes and a little organization. Check out this guide on home upgrades and how to update your bathroom.
Update your vanity
You don’t need to replace your bathroom vanity entirely—it probably just needs a little update in style and organization. Consider repainting or restaining the wood to make it appear new and fresh without replacing it. Another way to update your vanity is to paint the sink if the porcelain is starting to appear yellowed from age. There are plenty of DIY videos and tutorials available to help you get started on this one-day project. One more way to update your bathroom vanity is by simply organizing it and limiting the amount of things you store on the countertop.
Invest in window treatments
If your bathroom has a window, you’ll want to cover it for a variety of reasons—namely privacy. Window treatments are also a way to make your home look brand-new. You’ll want to consider a few things when you’re putting window treatments in your bathroom. Keep in mind that a dark color can dwarf the room, while a light color may provide less privacy. Get a window treatment that fits well with the room and breathes new life into it.
Get new bathroom accessories
Sometimes all a bathroom needs to feel brand-new is a little update in accessories. Throw that tired old shower curtain out, and donate that dingy rug. Pick a bright color and invest in a new bathmat, bathroom rug, and shower curtain. To top it all off, get a matching soap dish, lotion dispenser, and toothbrush holder. These little home upgrades add up to an updated bathroom that feels transformed.
