Update Your Bathroom on The Cheap

A full bathroom renovation will cost some thousands of dollars, but there are many things you can do to jazz your bathroom up and they need not cost a great deal. So to make a dingy bathroom feel just as nice as the other rooms to walk into, you can change it by: -

- Adding accessories in a deeper shade of the colour already in the bathroom. If it is white go for chocolate or charcoal.
- Repaint the walls with an enamel of your choice. If renting ask the landlord first and detail specifically what will be changed.
- Tiles can be repainted with White Knight Tile Paint.
- If the grouting is worn and ugly, replacing it might be the best choice. Then wash it all down with sugar soap to remove grime and restore the shine.
- If the bath is totally horrible, have it re-enamelled. A professional will charge more, but give you better results.
- If you have worn gilt fittings around the shower, repaint with metal paint - or keep the same colour and add a gold mirror to play it up.
- Changing taps and cupboard handles can make a big difference to the look of the room. Add matching accessories for a harmonious look.
- Add elegant storage from places like Ikea. A luxuriant pot plant will also add depth.
