5 Easy Bathroom Upgrades

Giving your bathroom a makeover doesn’t always need to mean that every part of your room is replaced.

Whether you want to upgrade your bathroom on a budget, or you simply want to give your bathroom a refresh, below are five ways you can do this without having to renovate the entire room.

Also, these are solutions that can be done individually, over time, meaning you’re not pressured to do them all in a short time frame.   

Swapping your tiles

Tiles can often date a bathroom, making it seem older than it maybe is. Swapping tiles for new, modern ones can instantly refresh the room.   

Changing your tiles can give you the opportunity to change the colour scheme or overall aesthetic of your room.  

If your existing bathroom is only partially tiled, you could opt to tile the rest of your room.  

Another idea could be to install a feature tile wall, so instead of replacing all the tiles in your room, you could choose a wall and give those tiles an upgrade.  

Our showroom has hundreds of tiles to browse, to find your perfect new tiles!

Installing new furniture

Furniture in your bathroom is an important factor as it effects the functionality of your room. If you do not have suitable storage for your room, implementing a storage solution is a great way to improve your bathroom, without doing a major renovation.  

For example, replacing your vanity unit or installing a secondary unit in your room is an easy way to improve your room. 

Maximising storage in your bathroom, ensures that your new space remains tidy and clutter-free. If you have a smaller bathroom and require more compact storage units, there are many stylish corner basin units to help open up the space as much as possible. For those with a bigger family bathroom, you are free to incorporate many furniture options to provide plenty of storage for toiletries, bath toys, toilet roll etc.

Upgrade your lighting

Lighting in a bathroom can vastly change the atmosphere of the room. For example, a darkly lit bathroom can add to the ambience of the room, however if this isn’t deliberate it can make your bathroom difficult to use. On the other hand, a brightly lit bathroom can feel too clinical and therefore not be a relaxing space which a bathroom should be. 

Upgrading your lighting can transform the atmosphere of your bathroom, such as adding downlighting below units, or illuminated mirrors to enhance your room.  

Incorporate a new mirror

As mentioned in the last point, installing illuminated mirrors can enhance your room. However, even a mirror that is not illuminated can help to upgrade your room.  

Mirrors can create the illusion of a larger space by reflecting light and making the room feel more open, especially in smaller bathrooms. Depending on their size, as mirrors can come in a variety of shapes, styles and sizes, adding a mirror to any room can allow you to enhance the room’s design and add elegance. A large mirror on an empty wall in a larger room can also make the room feel brighter and can help to balance out a room whereas installing a smaller mirror for tasks such as shaving or applying makeup can provide a practical solution for daily routines.  

Replace your brassware around the room

Replacing the brassware in a bathroom can significantly improve the space for several reasons. Over time, the finishes can tarnish, or fade, which can make them look tired. Upgrading them can give your bathroom a new, sophisticated feel.  

Newer fixtures are made with improved materials, giving them a longer lifetime and some are made with updated technology or design features which gives them better functionality and efficiency – improving both their performance and sustainability.  

So, upgrading your bathroom’s brassware can be a refresh your space and is a relatively cost-effective way to increase your bathrooms appeal.
