If You Are Ready For A Bathroom Refresh, Read This First
Bathrooms are hidden away within your home, but when you see them in an outdated state of disarray, it simply is not joyful. Bring some refreshing happiness to one of the places you visit frequently throughout the day and update your bathroom with these ideas.
Update the tiles
Bathroom tiles are similar to artwork, except they are built-in and serve a function in addition to enhancing the space. Whether you already have bathroom tiles in place and are ready for something new or are considering installing them for the first time, there is a variety of unique shapes, sizes, and colours to choose from.
Look at the latest trends in bathroom tiles from industry experts. Peruse online inspiration to see what others are doing and how specific tile patterns look in their homes. Once you find something you think you will like, contact the manufacturer or store to request a free tile sample. This way, you can see what it will look like in your bathroom and take some of the guesswork out of the process.
Mind the seams
The details matter. The small pieces people do not usually notice become impactful or invisible, depending on your preference. If you are considering a new shower in the bathroom and opt for a glass-walled enclosure, you get to choose a minor detail that can make a big impression. Do you want seamless walls with nearly invisible caulking, or would you like a moody black holding it all together? The black option will bring in an artful delineation between the glass panels.
This same approach works with grout, as well. If you are tiling the floors, the walls of the shower, or the sink backsplashes, you will need to add grout. Selecting black, again, creates a deep effect. Or you can go for a clean white or light grey that blends into the background and lets the tiles be the star of the show. Another fun choice is to add dark green or cobalt blue for an unexpected design twist.

Rethink Storage Solutions
In many homeowner’s bathrooms, one thing seems to be lacking, and that is practical storage solutions. Before you begin making changes or buying organisational systems, take a step back and think about how you use the space. Pay attention to your morning and evening routines. Let your rituals and habits be your guide to making your bathroom functional.
- Add a small turntable, double-tiered storage solution to the countertop to hold the toiletries you use daily.
- Place adjustable drawer dividers in the vanity drawers to keep your toiletries in order.
- Add a tension rod underneath the bathroom sink to hang baskets or supplies and keep the area organised. Place labelled bins below it for storage and quick access.
- Consider adding shelves above the door to create another storage or display space.
Reimagine your bathroom with design features and beautiful details, such as tiles that will make you happy to get ready each morning. Pay special attention to your organisational needs so everything you have will have a place of its own.
