Four Fast Fixes For a Fabulous Bath
Four Fast Fixes for a Fabulous Bath
(NC)—If your bathroom looks better with the door closed, it may be time for an update. Make some big–impact changes without spending big bucks. A trip to your home improvement store and a weekend of elbow grease is all you need to transform your bath from boring to beautiful.
Fabulous Faucets
As the focal point of the vanity and one of the most used items in the bath – update your current faucet with a new stylish design in a beautiful finish. Your local home improvement store has a wide variety to meet your design needs – and be sure to also look for water–saving models to help the environment… and your water bills.
Paint Perfection
Once you’ve chosen your new faucet, you’ll want to coordinate the finish with the rest of the metal surfaces throughout the room for a cohesive look. Luckily, you don’t need to purchase all new products – simply a few cans of quality primer and spray paint, such as Krylon, will do the trick.
To start, remove all your cabinet hardware, bathroom accessories, shower curtain rods – and even non–metallic surfaces, such as light switch plate covers – and spray them with Krylon’s Indoor/Outdoor primer. Then add a few coats of Krylon’s brushed metallic spray paint in popular bathroom finishes like brushed nickel or oil rubbed bronze. .
Once you have removed the accessories and hardware, it’s the perfect time to add a splash of colour to the walls. Some of the newest colour trends for 2011 include nature–inspired hues, such as rich greens and warm golds, so spice up your space with your favourite shade.
Once all the paint is dry, reinstall your accessories and hardware and you’ll be amazed with the dramatic results.
Finishing Touches
Now that the majority of the bathroom update is complete, it’s time to add the final elements that truly personalize the space. Hang a piece of art that coordinates with the other finishes throughout the room. Indulge your sense of touch with soft, fluffy monogrammed towels with your family’s initial. Add plush rugs in colours that coordinate with your new design.
With these simple updates, your boring bath will soon be beautiful. Plus, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that you did it yourself without spending a fortune.
