Remodeling your home's bathroom is one of the fastest ways to pep up the whole house, and this kind of update may add value to your home as well. Many home buyers put smartly designed, contemporary bathrooms as a high priority on the wish list of most-wanted amenities. A bathroom renovation can be quick and relatively inexpensive, or you could execute a total renovation, which requires a bigger budget. It's important to have knowledge of the latest styles in bathrooms, whether you are doing a simple spruce up or a full bathroom make over. You don't want your bathroom update to make the remainder of your home look out of fashion. Start just outside the bathroom with your make over so that the new look won't be glaringly obvious when you open the bathroom door. Harmonize the color palette and style of the area immediately preceding the bathroom with the inside of the bathroom itself. It may help to ask yourself a few questions before you begin.
-What are the most important bathroom renovations to me? Make a record of the renovations required before you focus on all the extras you want. In other words, focus on replacing the warped hardwood before you replace perfectly functioning cabinets.
-How much money can I spend? Bathroom renovations can quickly turn costly. Figure out your budget, decide which upgrades you can afford and save further improvements for a later date to avoid finding yourself with an empty bank account and a hole where your shower should be.
-Who's going to do the work? Depending on your experience level, you may be able to complete your bathroom renovations by yourself or you may want to do some minor work and leave the rest to a professional. Taking the time to learn a few skills could save a few dollars though.
Yesterday's colors date any room. Even bathrooms with updated fixtures and hardware can look old and tired when decorated with palettes from yesteryear. Hot pink, olive green and bright yellow, all of which were favorites in years past, scream your bathroom's age. Softer colors not only bring your bathroom into the modern era, but they can also hide imperfections. Wall coverings and borders may also make it obvious how many years it has been seen your bathroom was last redecorated. People working on a tight budget won't be able to replace toilets and sinks, but you can distract from these colors by repainting cupboards and adding accessories that neutralize the bright colors. Be sure to stay in the same color family. Throwing together colors from different palettes can make even a large bathroom look muddled. Conclude your bathroom facelift with inventive use of traditional accessories. Use several stacks of towels in a variety of colors. Give up the plastic flowers for baskets filled with useful bathroom items. Bring the outdoors in with living plants, but forget the potpourri. Rather, finish up your bathroom's touch-up with a light misting of scent from oiled tapers. With a little thought and a touch of creativity, sprucing up your bathroom can be fun, fast and within your budget.
