If you feel that your bathroom is not as appealing as it used to be, it could be because it is beginning to look old-fashioned and boring. More modern bathrooms tend to follow the minimalist trend, which may seem uninteresting but is not. It is more about having a bathroom that is well-organised, comfortable, and pleasing to look at. Your bathroom should be as pleasant and comfy as you can make it because you and your family members spend a lot of time here. Some people even create a spa-like atmosphere so they can use their bathroom to relax and relieve the stress of work and other taxing activities. Some invest in whirlpool baths that make them feel even better after a tiring day.
If you want to start modernising your bathroom, here are some helpful suggestions for you.
Rethink your colour scheme
Whites and neutrals have always been the preferred bathroom colours back in the day. These colours do not really go out of style, but you can try something different for a more unique and modern look. Try out some blues and greens for a change. Pistachios and charcoal greys are also trendy shades that would look great for a bathroom. While you’re at it, don’t forget to give your ceiling a paint job too. It would be best to paint it a lighter, complementing shade.
Replace old light fixtures
Your bathroom needs appropriate lighting to set the ideal atmosphere for relaxation. If you are currently using fluorescent lights or the outmoded bulbs, switch to lights with dimmers that you can adjust according to what you feel. It would also help to have light fixtures mounted around the mirror so you can perform your daily bathroom routines such as putting on makeup, shaving, brushing your teeth, etc.
Update your bathroom flooring
The flooring is often neglected during upgrades and renovations. However, it makes a lot of difference when you replace worn-out, damaged flooring with fresh, trendier tiles in the most modern designs. If you have a small bathroom, consider tiles that are complementary to your wall bathrooms. By doing this, there is continuity and it creates an illusion of space.
Don’t forget to replace old fixtures
The things that can ruin the modern look you are trying to achieve in your bathroom are the old, sorry-looking fixtures that have seen better days. Replacing them with more modern designs can do wonders for the total appearance of your bathroom. There are countless designs to choose from, and they are quite inexpensive. Go for those that you think would look good with your bathroom scheme.
Include plants as part of your bathroom decor
Plants always thrive well inside the bathroom because of the humid environment. They keep the air cleaner too, absorbing toxic air and releasing oxygen. They are nature’s purifiers and beautify any space you set them in.
Give your bathroom an upgrade and enjoy the benefits of relaxing in your private space. You deserve pampering, and there is nothing more gratifying than a bathroom that offers you all the comforts you deserve.
