Top 6 Renovation Tips to Spruce Up Your Bathroom

Updated: May 31, 2022 by Shana Yuri

Bathrooms are easily overlooked when it comes to interior design, quite unrightfully so. You might not spend as much time in your bathroom as in your living room, that’s true.

In addition, most people choose to focus on making the most “visible” parts of their homes representable. But here’s the thing – bathrooms play important roles in our homes.

When you want to relax, what’s the best way to do so other than in your bathtub with a nice bubble bath? Well, you can’t enjoy this experience to the fullest unless your bathroom’s interior is up to par. 

So, you have decided to work on your bathroom and spruce it up a bit? Well, this article is here to help, as here, you will find the top six renovation tips that are going to help! Let’s go!

1. Change your vanity – it makes a huge difference

Vanities are one of those objects that rarely get changed once they’re installed. This is a big shame though, as nothing can instantly transform the entirety of your bathroom as a nice new vanity can.

So, make your vanity a statement – let it dictate how your bathroom looks and feels! No matter whether your preferences lie in lux, contemporary, industrial design, or something completely different, changing the vanity is a good place to start!

2. Feeling ambitious? Opt for new floor tiles!

Changing your floor tiles is a project of a larger scope than most on this list, but it will transform your bathroom completely. Now, there are some significant tips and tricks that will help you make the most of your tile change.

First of all, if there are any geometrical patterns in your tiles, you want to ensure that you incorporate them symmetrically. 

Secondly, there is the question of what color you should pick. There are plenty of ways in which color can impact your bathroom, but the most helpful tricks are those that help make the space feel roomier.

You can do this either by opting for more subtle shades, as well as placing tiles in a diagonal pattern. When it comes to larger bathrooms, opting for darker, deeper colors can make the space feel more luxurious without making it feel cramped as it would in a smaller space.

3. A new light fixture can change everything

If you want to modernize your bathroom, a good way to do so simply is to opt for a new light fixture. Say goodbye to your old school lamps and say hello to LED strip lighting.

By opting for led strips you are able to accent the light on various different places subtly while retaining a modern look. Additionally, you will be able to play with colors and find out the one that fits your bathroom best.

4. Change your faucets!

Changing faucets is such a simple change, and yet so effective. Opt for new material and/or color, and reap the benefits! Depending on the dominant colors and design choices, you will be able to either contrast or emphasize them.

For instance, if you have some black details around your bathroom, a modern black faucet will go a long way. Gold faucets are oftentimes a safe option as well.

5. Focus on the materials

There were instances in this article where you were able to see how playing with materials affects the overall design of your bathroom. Indeed, materials play a huge role in interior design, and you can easily get your message across by opting for different ones.

If you want a warmer, cozy feeling – nothing works better than wood. If your goal is for a bathroom to feel luxurious, look no further from marble. If you want to give it a modern edge, stick with shiny metallic materials.

You can also mix and match, with the most popular combination being metal and wood. 

6. Don’t forget about the plants

The final tip is incredibly simple, and it will spruce up your bathroom a great deal. If you’ve never had plants in your bathroom, go for it now! Plants instantly make the space breathe, adding life and color like no decor can.

Finally, all of us have different preferences, and this should reflect our choices when it comes to interior design. Focusing on what the general public finds pleasing is maybe something that you focus on when it comes to areas of your home that are regularly visited.

Surely, even with those areas, this is absolutely not necessary. But, when it comes to your bathroom – you have all the freedom in the world to create something that you love and enjoy.

Don’t try too hard to incorporate all of the latest trends, focus on what you find appropriate, and have fun!
