Things To Consider When Updating Your Bathroom

Your bathroom is an important part of your home.

It’s a room that is used daily by everyone in the household. Over time, this heavy use can make it start to look a little tired and in need of an update. With trends changing regularly, there are a whole plethora of changes you can make to the room depending on your budget and how much you want to spend on certain parts.

If you are budget conscious, you can try and do a few things yourself, just make sure you turn the water off. You don’t want to cause any flooding and need an emergency flood response. Below are things to consider when updating your bathroom. 

Flooring 

The flooring of your bathroom is one of the most important things to look at when updating your bathroom. Yes, flooring can be expensive, but it can make a huge difference to how the room looks and feels.

When choosing your flooring you will need to decide if you want it to be tiled, stone, or vinyl title (These can be a little cheaper). 

Ceiling Color 

Most typical bathroom ceilings are white in color, which is fine to go with but have you considered changing the color? Changing the color of your ceiling is currently on-trend as it can make a big difference to the dynamics of the bathroom.

It’s a great way to make the room look completely different and add some interesting contrasts to the room. If you are after some inspiration you can always take a look at Pinterest or Instagram to see what colors other people have painted their ceiling. 

Bathroom Wallpaper

Have you ever thought about putting wallpaper in your bathroom? It might seem strange at first but this is another trend that some people have been taking up. Wallpaper allows you to be more creative within your bathroom and a nice selection of patterns to the wall.

You can get a wallpaper that is purposely designed for bathrooms which is a lot more resistant to water damage should you get water on the walls. No matter how hard you might try, water will always end up on the walls at one point and can cause water damage.

If you don’t like the idea of wallpaper, you can always opt to paint your bathroom instead. 

Bathroom Accessories 

If you are on a really tight budget but want to make a difference to the room, then consider purchasing some bathroom accessories. Bathroom accessories can be placed around the room, in a tasteful manor and update the look of the room instantly.

Consider items like a toothbrush holder, bath mats, soap dispensers, amongst other things. If you have children, make sure they are child friendly and can’t be broken easily. If they can be, put them on shelves that are out of reach.
