I’d Like To Update My Bathroom But Don’t Want To Spend A Fortune. Help!

The season’s cooler weather means you may be spending a lot more time indoors. This gives you plenty of time to look around your house and see all the things you would like to do to make it a little more modern! Updating your rooms doesn’t have to cost a fortune. You can actually update your bathroom without putting out a great deal of money. These simple tricks can be done over a weekend. The team at Greenwood Hardware can help you find just what you need to make your bathroom into something a little more modern and appealing.

New Paint

Fortunately, bathrooms tend to be rather small, and a single gallon of paint is enough to transform your bathroom into something fabulous. You can keep it simple and paint just the door and window trim if you don’t want to take on the whole room.

Outlet Covers and Light Switches

Get creative and add a splash of color to those boring outlet covers. You can buy shiny silver plates or find wood plates that you can paint yourself. Add a pretty design to match the theme in your bathroom.

Repaint the Floors

If you have wood floors in your bathroom, add a fresh stain to not only protect the wood but breathe new life into it. Choose from a variety of shades that can make the entire bathroom look new again.

New Cabinet Hardware

Adding new drawer pulls and cabinet hardware is quick and easy and makes a huge difference. Again, go with something that complements the colors in your bathroom or get creative and add a little something special to the knobs. A small paintbrush and the right kind of paint is all you need.

Update the Mirror

Your bathroom mirror gets very little attention. Most mirrors are plain and stuck directly to the wall. Check out some thrift stores and look for a frame you could put around your mirror. You could also make your own with some wood. Make the mirror a statement piece and give it a bright frame that really pops.

Good Scrub

You will be amazed at how faded your tile gets overtime. A strong cleaner with a special acid cleansing solution can brighten the tile and make it look new again. If your tile is already pretty clean, try using window cleaner to make it shine.

The bathroom is often one of those rooms in the house that gets ignored, despite how important it is. These quick, thrifty upgrades can give it a whole new look that you will be proud of.
