There are lots of smaller projects to
add color, update lighting, or accessorize that will rev up the look
of a bathroom, without spending a lot of money or waiting for a
major remodel.
Here are some of our favorite ways to
add some sparkle to a bathroom. Choose a few of these ideas for your
own home and plan a weekend project that will yield big results for
the time spent.
De-clutcher - The best way is to
remove everything from drawers, countertops, and inside the vanity.
Then start with a plan to place often-used items in the most
convenient place.
Get Organized - Review your storage options, then purchase some
appropriate storage solutions such as drawer dividers, see-through
bins, hooks, trays, and decorative containers for the countertop. Shop
Stack and Stacks for organizing bathroom utilities.
Outfit Closed Storage - Inside a vanity or cupboard is the perfect
place to install some of the wonderful storage products available
now. Our favorite is a small plastic-coated wire towel bar that we
use to hang cleaning cloths and dust rags. You'll also find clear
plastic drawer units, large round turntables, see-thru boxes, and
bins of all sorts.
Towel Bars - Look around for space to install a few extra towel
bars... on the end of a cabinet, over a commode, behind or on the
back of a door, near a light switch... anywhere that won't
interfere with cabinets or heating vents. Another option is adding
the popular hotel-style racks with two or three bars and a shelf
in one unit. Use your additional rod space for displaying colorful
towels, or assign each member of the family their own bar. Bath
Clicks for towel racks and hooks. Shop
Home Click for bathroom hooks and towel bars.
Hooks - Need a place to hang a robe or towel? Look for some
beautiful options in hook hardware, then install them where you
really need them... behind the door, next to the shower, near the
sink.
Furnish - Larger bathrooms can benefit from an injection of real
furniture. Perhaps a small chest, cupboard, or armoire will fit into
an empty corner or along an unused wall. Furniture will add both
storage and style, and warms up the space.
Floor Me - If your bathroom floor has seen better days, consider
either covering it a with large cut-to-fit bathroom rug,
peel-and-stick tiles, or even paint! Shop
iFloor for your flooring needs.
