Have you taken a good look at your bathroom lately? Perhaps it's time to admit that the gold foil wallpaper and big bubble lights look more at home on the Vegas strip than in your powder room. If so, don't be overwhelmed. Redecorating your bathroom can be a relatively quick project - and because it is one of the smaller rooms in your home, a bathroom redo doesn't have to be a budget-buster either.
Choose a Theme
If your current bathroom is suffering from an identity crisis, it's time to choose a theme and stick with it. If you have clean white plumbing fixtures, perhaps you would like to stay with an elegant black-tie theme. And if you want to keep the environment calm and soothing, try incorporating a spa-like feel into your new bathroom. If the bathroom is for children, you can opt for a Disney theme or an all-animal theme. You are only limited by your imagination, and perhaps your budget. But make sure the theme of your bathroom is somewhat related to the decorating in the rest of your home.
Choose a Paint Color
Nothing can freshen the appearance of a room faster than a new paint color. Now is the time to choose a theme that will anchor the rest of your decorating choices. If you want your new bathroom to remind guests of a day at the beach, start by painting the walls a light sand color. For a kids bathroom, your paint color can be a bright primary color such as royal blue or sunshine yellow. A refreshing shade of sage green on the walls can set the stage for a soothing spa-like bathroom. Because paint is relatively inexpensive and easy to apply, you can go a little crazy with your color choice and change it later if necessary.
Choose a Shower Curtain
Your choice of shower curtain will go a long way toward establishing the overall theme of the room. Just check any big box store or online retailer and you will find a huge variety of whimsical or sophisticated shower curtains. Of course, it is critical that you keep the rest of the room in mind so there is a cohesive look and feel. If the room is very modern, don't choose a frilly shower curtain just because it matches the paint color. It's important that your shower curtains compliments both the color and the style of the room.
Update the Lighting
Nothing dates a bathroom faster than a clunky old light bar with big fat light bulbs glaring overhead. You can either replace the old bar with a new fixture that sports sleeker, more modern lights. Or ditch the overhead light altogether and replace it with modern sconces on either side of the mirror. Of course, you'll have to patch and paint the old hole, so make sure to complete this project before you paint out the entire room.
Shop for Accessories
Your special attention to bathroom accessories will add the finishing touch to your bathroom's new decorating theme. Start with a coordinating set of rugs and fluffy new towels, and then add a contemporary new toilet tissue holder and matching towel bars.
And there you have it - a brand new bathroom for the price of paint and a few accessories. If you plan ahead, you can probably complete the entire project in less than a weekend, but you'll be enjoying it for years to come.
