How to Update Your Bathroom into a Designer Bathroom (Forget Expensive Remodelling!)

Updated Bathroom

Whether you are updating your bathroom because you can't afford to remodel your current bathroom or just looking to update a relatively new bathroom, these tips will help you.

Instructions

1. A fresh coat of paint really does wonders for a bathroom. Think about designing your bathroom around a new color. If your walls are completely tiled to the ceiling changing the color theme may be impossible. Perhaps the ceiling could use a new shade of paint?

2. If your sink vanity is an outdated color, maybe pink or mint green, replacing your sink vanity will really change the look of your bathroom. You don't have to buy high end pieces to look expensive either. Home Depot and Lowes are great for cheap bathroom vanities.

3. Swapping out your old medicine cabinet and light fixtures will really change the look of your bathroom. This is a designer secret that really makes a difference.

4. Changing your bathroom accessories to something new will also update your bathroom. Stainless steel and natural materials are really making a fashion statement now. Look for bathroom accessories in bamboo, marble and other earthy materials for a hip new "green" look that's really making a fashion statement. Interior designers are loving this look.

5. If your bathroom currently has window treatments, update them to match the style of your new bathroom accessories. Bamboo blinds may be just the right touch.

6. Depending on the condition of your bathtub, having a glazier come in to glaze your tub may be an excellent idea. This affordable alternative to replacing your tub will make it sparkle like new.

7. Removing your old caulk and replacing with new caulk around your bathroom will give your bathroom a fresh look.

8. How does the grout in your bathroom hold up? Its it crumbling? Regrouting your bathroom is easy to do yourself if but if you aren't willing to chance it you could bring a professional in to do it for you.
