When you decide to make some changes in your home, and more precisely in your bathroom, the most difficult part is usually making a plan and then saving the money for it. Having enough money to get anything that pops into your mind is a great thing, but even if you’re on a limited budget, there are still things you can do to refresh your bathroom appearance. So, no matter how big your bathroom is or how little you can spare to invest in it right now, here are some tips for decorating it.

 

Brighten it up

There are several ways to make your bathroom brighter. If you have a window, start with that. Instead of covering it with colourful mosaics, opt for a frosted window without curtains. Frosting your window with a spray is easy and low-cost. It enables the light to flow in freely inside the room, while you’ll stay protected from curious neighbours’ eyes. Another way is through light fixtures. Freestanding lamps will let you brighten even the corners which are now in a shadow, but they can also be a lovely contemporary decoration. Make sure your light bulbs work for you by creating white light, which is much softer and pleasant to the eye than the yellow or orange one.  Finally, you can do wonders for your bathroom by playing with colours. White is a good and simple choice for making the room seem bigger and brighter, but you can also opt for various shades of yellow or other bright colours for a cheerful look.


 

Add some mirrors

Most people put a mirror above the sink, creating a perfect place for grooming and getting ready to go out. If that mirror is a big one, it usually covers all your needs, while adding some depth to the room and making it bigger. However, if there’s enough space on your bathroom walls, consider adding one or several mirrors of various sizes. For example, putting a mirror opposite the one you have will make it possible to fully observe how you look when getting dressed for work or an evening out. Also, placing lighting fixtures around your mirror, so that the light can reflect, will make both the mirror and the lighting more effective.

 

Accessorize

If you want your bathroom to look nice and be functional, there shouldn’t be any clutter inside it. This can be achieved with the right bathroom accessories from Acqua Bathrooms, such as a corner shelf inside your shower, a toothbrush holder next to your sink or some nice and useful towel racks and rails. These accessories come in various colours, from silver to black or rose gold. Some are even glass and transparent. So it’s easy to combine them with any type of bathroom design. If you really want to modernize your bathroom, invest in it. Add a heated towel rack, a wall mounts liquid soap dispenser or a multi-functional hand, hair and skin dryer. Even the little things like hooks or a toilet brush holder can significantly refresh your bathroom appearance for a small amount of money.

 

Storage Tricks

No matter how small your bathroom is, you have to find a good and creative storage solution for it. For instance, the space underneath your sink can be used for a vanity unit. While you can use the walls above the door or the toilet for floating shelves. To make everything more decorative, you can add some wall mounted baskets or a small ornamental cabinet. As far as your existing cabinets and shelves are concerned. Give them a new life by installing some pull-out drawers into them. At the same time making storing and sorting your things simpler. When choosing a waste bin or a laundry basket, other than making your bathroom tidier, it’s also a chance to give some character to the room. Plus, these things can be replaced when you get bored with them and want a change without having to invest too much.

 

Decorating your bathroom while improving its functionality may seem impossible on a small budget, but it doesn’t have to be. Just follow these great tips and you’ll love the result.
