More Splash Than Cash

 

Author: Nanette Catarinella

Need a simple project to perk up a dreary bathroom? Make a big splash in a tired bath with these quick and easy design ideas.

Spring Clean: For an instant, no-cost way to create more space...clear the clutter and give the room a good scrubbing. Clean off the counter tops, toilet tank and bath tub corners. Scrub the grout and clean out the cabinets. Organize toiletries in attractive containers and store small appliances and personal grooming aids out of site.

Mirror, Mirror On The Wall: Visually expand your space by replacing an existing plate glass mirror with a large framed mirror. Inexpensive, attractive mirrors can be found at off-price stores, yard sales and thrift shops. Group a collection of small mirrors in a variety of shapes together to add glamour and sparkle to a tiny bath.

Quick Change: Replace an old shower curtain with a new one for an instant up-date. choose a fabric curtain over vinyl to soften the look of hard bathroom surfaces. Try ready-made drapery panels instead of a traditional "bath" curtain. Hang from a rod at ceiling height and swag to one side for drama. Add a few color coordinated hand towels for a designer look in no time.

Floor Bored: Peel and stick tiles add pizzazz to a tired bathroom floor. Inexpensive and easy to install, try graphic black and white for a contemporary look or choose a faux stone for old world charm. No time to remove the old floor? Paint over it with epoxy paint, stamp or stencil on a pattern and seal with polyurethane for protection. Follow manufacturers recommendations for your particular floor surface.

Tile Style: Hat that old green wall tile? If the tiled walls are in good shape, you can paint them, too! Ask any paint retailer about the latest products made specifically to adhere to old tile. Or give those old tiles a hand-crafted look with decorative appliques. Available in most art supply stores, they come in a variety of patterns and sizes and are easy to apply and remove.

Spa Retreat: Turn you bath into a spa-like retreat by replacing the existing shower head with a "rain" or vibrating massage fixture. Update the sink faucet in a hot new finish, such as brushed nickel or oil rubbed bronze. Coordinate the cabinet hardware for a professional look. Buy the biggest, thickest bath towels you can afford and enjoy!
