Refurbish your bathroom without creating a building site

You don’t need to turn your bathroom into a building site to refurbish it. You can refurbish your bathroom without the need for building work in four simple steps. Not only will you save on time, money and hassle, you’ll find it an easy, straightforward process. 

No matter what type of bathroom you have, you can completely transform it or add character with small changes, like switching up the towels or curtains, updating the accessories or adding a trolley for storage.

Let’s get started.

Four steps to a refurbished bathroom without the building site

 

Maybe you rent and can’t take on any major renovation work, or you might simply not be able to afford to renovate your bathroom. Whatever your reason, follow these four steps and refurbish your bathroom without any building work. 

 

1. Change the towels

 

Something so simple yet effective is to add a new tone or colour to your bathroom, simply by changing the towels.

If your bathroom has a romantic feel to it, dark towels can blend in perfectly with the ambience. But if your bathroom is white, you can always play with a range of bright colours (like green) that add warmth and joy to the space. Oh! And if plain isn’t your style, choose towels with flowery prints.

Mix and match the towels with the rest of the room’s accessories, like the soap dish, the shower mat or some small boxes, and you’re done!

2. Change the curtain

 

Another thing that can really change the look of your bathroom is the shower or bath curtain. If your bathroom is like this, with lots of colour and personality, try plain colours. There’s always the option of choosing one with a small pattern to add a different touch. 

Or go for a patterned curtain if you want an explosion of colour. Here, we’ve brought a sense of colour harmony by finding a curtain that matches the pink in the tiles. What do you think?

3. Adding a wheeled trolley to create extra storage space

 

A great way to freshen up your bathroom without creating a speck of dust is to add one of our bathroom trolleys or stools

Why a bathroom trolley? Simple. It’s on wheels, making it one of the best assistants while you’re getting ready. You’ll have extra storage and can move it wherever you want.

A bench is not only convenient but gives you somewhere to store your bathroom essentials. So including one is another good option.

And if you’ve got little ones running around the house, a bathroom stool is the best. If you choose one in a bright colour to match your towels or bath mats, it will also help give your bathroom a fresh look.

4. Upgrade your bathroom accessories

 

Another option is to upgrade your bathroom accessories. For example, you might want to start with something as simple as storage boxes.

These boxes come with lids and can store everything you need. Everything has its own place and is neatly arranged. 

Do you like the result? It’s the perfect way to get your things in order while adding a touch of style to the shelf.

A bathroom mirror is another accessory that changes the look of your sink and whole collection when you update it. What's more, it always gives the impression of more space and light.
