Easy Ways to Update Your Bathroom

 

Whether you’re planning on selling your Montgomery County PA home or it just needs a little face lift, updating your bathroom doesn’t have to be hard or expensive. Sometimes the smallest of changes can have a big impact. This home stager is sharing some easy ways to update your bathroom.

 

1) Paint

A fresh coat of paint in a neutral color can do wonders for your bathrooms appearance. Whether you’re covering up a bold color or taking off outdated wallpaper, fresh paint makes a huge difference in how your bathroom looks. Because it covers the most square footage (next to tile), it has the biggest impact.

 

2) Switch out your shower curtainEasy Ways to Update Your Bathroom

This is one ofthe simplest ways to tie the color scheme of your bathroom together or give it a little style boost. If you have bolder colors, a more neutral curtain will tone down the boldness and pull the design together. If you have neutral walls, a shower curtain with a bolder color or pattern will add some style and a pop of color.

 

3) Update your Fixtures

Not just your light fixtures. I’m talking about faucets, towel bars, door knobs and shower heads. The first thing I always changed in my apartments was the shower head. You’d be surprised the difference it can make you feel about your shower. Replace outdated fixtures with new styles and it will give your bathroom an instant face lift for minimal cost.

 

4) Add extra storage

One of the main reasons a bathroom doesn’t work is storage. Adding shelves on the wall gives you a place for more storage and a way to display accessories. Hide necessities in decorative baskets and place accents for style. You can also purchase a cabinet that’s placed over the toilet. They come in a variety of colors and styles to fit your needs.

 

There are a lot of easy ways to update your bathroom that don’t include a complete remodel.

Good morning Suzanne, some excellent and inexpensive ways to update bathrooms. Kitchen and bathrooms are the areas most buyers focus on and of course storage in both areas and it's very important to pay extra attention to these often neglected areas.

Hi Suzanne, I have used all your suggestions but find the quickest way is to change the towels, curtains and rugs. I add a few accessories and it looks like new.

Those are simple inexpensive changes, that will likely get a lot of mileage when it comes to a home sale.

Thanks Debbie.

Exactly Beth. Little touches could have a big impact on how buyers view your home.

New towels certainly work too Debbie. I tend to switch mine out with the seasons.

Thank you Dorie!

The transformation is great Larry & Sheila!

Thanks Myrl!
