Tips for Sprucing Up Your Primary Bathroom

Tips for Sprucing Up Your Primary Bathroom

27th Feb 2024

It’s easy for a bathroom to become messy, cluttered, or out of date. However, this part of a home also offers tons of options for renewal and uplift. Our pro tips help you take your primary bathroom from a run-of-the-mill utilitarian room to a relaxing oasis. Based on your available time and budget, you can give the space a total makeover or simply change its ambiance with a few wisely chosen updates.

 


 

1. Update with some new hardware.

One trick for making what is old new again, is replacing the hardware on large fixtures. For example, you can remove the pull handle, towel bar, or knob and replace it with a new piece of hardware. Just make sure that the new item is compatible with the glass thickness of your new door as well as the diameter and placement of the holes already drilled in the glass. Likewise, you can give the vanity a glow-up with new cabinet hardware and knobs or pulls. These swaps let you bring in trending metal finishes as well as in-style contours and designs.

 


 

2. Make inexpensive replacements or additions.

When you’re updating the primary bathroom on a tight budget, you want to spend money where it counts. Examples of impactful items include:

  • Coordinating decanters for body wash, shampoo, and conditioner
  • Vintage soap dispenser
  • Bath math that makes a statement
  • Turkish cotton or linen towels (a sleeve over robe hook would give you an extra spot to hang one)
  • Potted plants
  • Statement lighting such as a chandelier over the tub or sink
  • Glass shelves on metal wall brackets

     


     

  • 3. Pamper yourself with home spa treats.

    A primary bathroom makeover should appeal to all the senses. Treat yourself to some spa-inspired extras like:

  • Aroma-therapy shower head kit, an essential oil diffuser, and toilet spray
  • Softer lighting options or a dimmer switch on the ceiling light
  • A quieter fan and a shower speaker
  • Plush towels and robes
  • Refreshing mouthwash or a jar of mints in the medicine cabinet

     


     

  • 4. Make the space more peaceful and calming.

    A tranquil room is one without clutter or chaos. The following steps can help you bring your primary bathroom to this state.

  • Declutter the vanity counter and shower area, throwing away damaged items or empty bottles.
  • Add more storage options as needed, such as floating shelves, lidded hampers, or even hanging baskets.
  • Look for areas that may be overcrowded with knick-knacks and cull your collection.
  • Display stored items attractively – for example, roll and stack towels between shelves.
