Take a
long hard look around your bathroom and then decide which of these easy changes
might help to make your bathroom look better and also function better for your
needs.
Have you
ever stayed at a hotel with one of those cool arched shower curtains that never
gets stuck on you when you shower? You can install one of these in your
bathroom, too. Just install a curved shower curtain rod.
Do you
have bottles and cans in your shower stall that look terrible but you need them
all? You can purchase a corner triangular shaped shelf that has suction cups on
the back to attach to a corner of your shower. Get organized.
It is
very easy to swap out an old toilet seat for a new one and you can replace your
old shower head with a new one, too. If you look for a "Water-Sense"
label on the new faucet, you can save gallons of water every year. Save money
and look good, too.
Re-caulk
the tub/shower and sink area. Old caulk can be cracked and discolored so
a great way to spruce up the bath is to remove the old and replace with new.
Once the old is out, wash and dry the surfaces before applying new.
Put in a
new mirror or better yet, frame around an existing one. This one can be
purchased from mirrormate.com.
An easy way to
really make a change is with towels, bath mat and shower curtain. Go for
something with a vibrant color to add a splash of color to your bath.
These are easy and
inexpensive upgrades for Spring 2013.
