Give your bathroom a new look in 5 easy steps

bathroom design tips

If your bathroom is looking tired or you just can’t stand the sight if those white tiles, you don’t need to spend a fortune redecorating. Rather than call the plumbers in and spend thousands on a new suite and tiles, work with what you have got. Refresh your existing bathroom with new accessories, linen and storage solutions at an affordable price.

Refresh your bathroom on a budget

If you want to give your bathroom a new look but can’t afford to splash out on a brand new bathroom suite, take a look at our 5 top tips.

Give it a lick of paint

Pain is the quickest and most economical way to refresh a drab looking room. To create a relaxing oasis, take inspiration from nature’s palette with subtle shades of duck-egg blue, green and grey. Remember you don’t just have to paint the whole wall; if you’ve got the wall space why not try painting a bold white horizontal stripe to serve as a backsplash.

It’s also possible to add wallpaper in a bathroom but you’ll need the right adhesive to prevent peeling. If you’re going for a contemporary look choose a geometric print, or for a vintage inspired design look for wallpapers in delicate florals.

Change the mirror

The mirror is one of the main focal points in a bathroom, so for a big impact, look for a bold and beautiful mirror to match your designs. Frameless and shaped mirrors are ideal for contemporary bathrooms, but for a more unusual look search for a filigree or dark wood frame depending on your décor.

Dress your window

The window is one of the most neglected areas in a bathroom. Although many of us now have privacy glass installed, there is no reason not to give your window a little TLC. If you’ve got a colour scheme planned, pick your window treatment in a complimentary colour. Hardwood or bamboo blinds are a great choice and will look fantastic in most bathrooms.

Accessorise

For a sleek and stylish finish, remember to accessorise your bathroom with coordinating linen baskets, tumblers and storage solutions. White, chrome or glass finished accessories will match with almost any interior and can be recycled if you decide to redecorate at a later date. You can however opt for coloured or themed accessories that match in with the rest of your décor. A patterned or coloured shower curtain makes a great addition to a fun, family bathroom.

Bath linen

Changing the colour of your bath towels and linen can have a massive impact on even a plain white bathroom. New towels can be used to tie in a colour scheme and give your bathroom a fresh new look. Treat yourself to a 100% cotton towel bale including flannels, hand and bath towels. For a quirky and alternative look you could also opt for a pattern towel such as our Catherine Lansfield Home Stag Jacquard 100% 6 piece bath towel set.
