If you think your bathroom could use a boost, you've got company. Bathrooms are among the rooms most likely to be renovated in a home.
The good news is that there are ways to makeover your bathroom without spending a lot of money on remodeling costs and without replacing old fixtures. Try these tips:
Clean Start
You may be able to save yourself the cost of replacing worn-looking toilets, bathtubs or sinks with a good cleaning. Built-up soap scum, hard-water stains, rust, calcium and lime can dull the look of a bathroom and make it seem older than it actually is.
Try using a powerful cleaner designed for tough bathroom stains, such as Kaboom Ultra Scrub, to give your bathroom surfaces an instant makeover. Ultra Scrub's thick cream clings to surfaces and its scrubbing granules get deep into textured surfaces to remove grime and stains, without scratching. Stay on top of your bathroom's appearance using maintenance products such as Kaboom Never Scrub Continuous Toilet Cleaning System. It allows you to throw away your brush and never scrub your toilet again.
Splash Of Color
Use mildew-resistant, latex paint to add new color to the bathroom. Be sure to use a bin primer over any water stains or spots before starting the job, and pay careful attention to detail-areas, such as woodwork or trim around mirrors.
Home designers often say the bathroom is a good place to experiment with colors. If your home has more muted tones, consider using bright hues in the bathroom to help make the room seem cleaner and brighter.
Accessorize
Finally, add some decoration to the bathroom to make it seem less stark and more comfortable. You may want to hang some family photos on the wall or a framed picture or two. Just be sure not to make the bathroom appear too cluttered.
Remember, if you have limited space, home designers say less is more.
