9 Tips to Brighten Your Bathroom
Having a bright and cheerful bathroom is a must and these days it is easy to find a host of small features and products that can spruce up a dull or boring bathroom in next to no time!
1) Cleanliness First!
No matter how amazing your décor scheme, your bathroom will look unsightly and grubby if it is not kept beautifully clean. If you have stains and signs of age creeping into your bathroom, it is definitely time for a new coat of paint or a renewal of the wallpaper! Set aside a few hours and make your bathroom sparkle as best you can as this one act can make a huge difference to the ambiance and atmosphere of your bathroom.
2) Matching Accessories
Buying a set of matching accessories from Macysfor your bathroom is such an easy task that it almost feels like a cheat! Decant shampoo, hand wash and shower gel into matching containers and keep toothbrushes and odds and ends (like earrings) in another pair of matched containers and see how pulled together and professional your bathroom can look!
3) Plenty of Storage
Finding enough storage space in a bathroom can be a bit of a struggle, but it is a battle well worth winning. Sufficient storage means no clutter, and no clutter makes a bathroom look great! Try to allocate every member of the family their own space in the bathroom and make every responsible for keeping their area neat and tidy.
4) Fresh Flowers
A cheerful pot plant or vase of fragrant and colorful flowers can instantly add a natural air and some much-needed color and brightness to your bathroom. There is something inherently decadent about fresh flowers anyway, and having them in the bathroom infuses it with luxury.
5) Splash of Color
If your bathroom is predominantly neutral or plain colored, do not be afraid to add in a lavish splash of color to enliven the atmosphere and make the room pop! Many bathrooms are so muted and bland that they lose any charm or interest that they might otherwise have had: offset this by being generous with touches of color.
6) Potpourri
To make your bathroom smell nice and look good at the same time, why not invest in a couple of bags of potpourri (or make your own!) and a pretty dish to put it in?
7) Unusual Hanging Points
Instead of the usual towel rail or door hooks, look for hanging points with a difference. Asymmetrical hangers, freestanding towel racks and unusual hooks and hoops can all brighten up the dreariest bathroom.
8) Mirrors and Lights
Invest in a unique and attractive mirror, such as this lovely illuminated one from My Bathrooms that oozes glamour and also helps you look good!
No matter how small and cramped your bathroom is, try to make space for attractive points of interest such as a jar full of shells, a vignette featuring some attractive family photos, or even just a single lovely ornament.
Wonderful ideas! Great share
These are such great ideas! Our master bathroom is all black tile, “chrome” finish, and sage green paint (it came that way). I’m going to try some of these to brighten things up a bit.
Can you be more specific about the content of your article? After reading it, I still have some doubts. Hope you can help me.
