Update the Fixtures

Both the tub and sinks will remain in good shape even after a decade’s use. A leaky faucet, however, will need replacing ASAP and so will outdated sconces and handles. Such replacements are inexpensive and will not involve extensive repairs on your bathroom space.

Paint The Tiles

Ok, so it will not last as long as replacing the tile would but it will cost significantly less too. So, if you cannot stand the color of your tiles, then, by all means, paint away. Be advised to use an oil-based primer of high quality – the water-based alternative will obviously fade away every time it comes into contact with water.

Every project will have different parameters to consider, and you should, thus, consult a professional before you commence with the job. With their blessings, you can do most of the job yourself, save significantly on the costs and spruce up your bathroom.

 

Use Wallpaper to Create Interest

Wallpapers would be a great way to neutralize tile colors. Careful selection is, however, needed to make apt decisions that complement the colors already present in the floor space.

Don’t be afraid to go all out, though, if you want a colorful wallpaper with a complex pattern, have it by all means. Just ensure you install it properly and that you provide ample ventilation. Otherwise, the wallpaper will peel off from your walls without giving you maximum service.
