A Fast Scheme To Refresh Your Bathroom

By Connor Sullivan

Are you tired of your bathrooms? A plan to freshen the bathroom can go two directions. You can hire a Fox Valley handyman to do a complete renovation or a Fox Valley bathroom remodeling company to do the job. Or, if you want to invest a more modest amount of money, you can just merely changing the decor.

The first step in changing the decor of the bathroom is to decide on a decorating scheme. You may want to strip it down to the bare walls and start totally from scratch. You can then either stay with the same style but change the colors or go in a totally different direction.

Once the room is bare, start with the walls. There are many different ways that you can cover your bathroom walls. The easiest is just to roller on a new coat of paint. You may want to choose a light color for a small bathroom because a dark color may make the room appear oppressively small and give you claustrophobia. If you want more than just a flat colored paint job, you may want to apply either a faux finish, a graphic or mural. There are so many possible ways to apply a faux finish that you may want to get a library book on the topic so that you stimulate your imagination. Another easy embellishment is a wallpaper border. You can put this at ceiling level, slightly lower, or at any other level of the wall. The main difficulty with border is getting them straight and even. If you want to do a bit less measuring, put part of the border high and part at chair rail level. Then you can place two diagonal strips between the high area and the low area. Even easier are the individual wallpaper motifs. If you like things even and uniform, you can measure and mark before you apply them. If you are lazy, you can scatter them randomly. Maybe you prepare to hang wallpaper. You can just paper one wall, or you can do the entire room.

Then you can decorate the walls with pictures or knickknacks that match your decorating motif. If you can see yourself in the mirror from your position on the toilet, you can create an amusing effect by hanging a hat or floral wreath on the wall behind your head. Then, when you see yourself in the mirror, you will see yourself wearing a hat. If you place shelves on the wall or bring in one that sits on the floor, you can place small decorative objects on the shelves.

The next step is easy because it just involves your color choices. It is at this point that you can buy your new towels, rug, shower curtain, and window curtains. At the same time you can get coordinating soap dish, toothbrush holder, and cup.

This decorating advice makes the assumption that you are happy with the floor and plumbing fixtures. If you plan to make changes to these items, you need to complete this work before you begin the redecorating process.
