4 ways to refresh your bathroom on your own!

The bathroom is a space we visit daily. Whether you live in a house with a bathroom from the '80s or just want a refresh, we have easy solutions to make it a reality!

Mirror

The mirror is a dominant element in your bathroom and plays a very important role in its aesthetics. We are used to most bathrooms having the classic rectangular mirror that is perfectly aligned with the rest of the furniture. It's time to break away from this logic and install a modern round mirror or even better, a glamorous mirror, to give character and unique aesthetics to your bathroom.

Believe me, changing your mirror will make a difference!

Bathroom Furniture

It is important that the furniture you have in your bathroom reflects your style and matches the aesthetics of the rest of your home. Changing the bathroom furniture is not as big a deal as you might think. A new bathroom cabinet with sink and mirror can cost less than €200 and will completely transform your space.

Alternatively, you can add small furniture pieces to your space, such as a shelf unit specially designed to go over the washing machine and a wall shelf or  cabinet above your toilet

Tip: Don’t forget that you can give your bathroom a small refresh if you simply paint your vanity and change the knobs!


Lighting

A well-lit bathroom gives a sense of cleanliness and calm to the space. It is common to use white light, while the light fixtures are either ceiling-mounted or placed around the mirror or your vanity. This allows us to incorporate lighting into the decor.

If you don’t have lighting around the mirror or your vanity, then I would suggest adding hidden lighting with LED strips

Alternatively, if your bathroom is illuminated by the lights on the main furniture, usually around the mirror, you have the perfect opportunity to change them and "play" with modern designs, urban aesthetics, or even vintage character.

Tiles


Changing the tiles in your bathroom is not only difficult and time-consuming, but also expensive! But we have the solution for you!

There are special paints for tiles with high resistance to moisture, so you can turn your bathroom into a sauna without worry! The only thing you will need to do is clean the surfaces you want to paint thoroughly, apply one coat of primer, if it is not integrated into the paint you choose, and then apply the paint in the color you have selected (usually you need 2 coats).

Alternatively, there are techniques that allow you to stick new tiles over the existing ones without having to turn your bathroom into a construction site.

If you choose to proceed with new tiles, there are 3 steps you need to follow:

  1. Spread the special adhesive on the surface you want to cover

  2. Stick your tiles 

  3. Apply special grout to the tiles so that the joints close and secure, preventing them from coming loose

 

It may sound like a lot, but trust me, it will make your bathroom look brand new!
