How to Make Your Bathroom Look More Up-to-Date

Of all the rooms in your home, your bathroom may be one of the first places to start when it comes to renovations. Even though bathrooms are typically relatively small rooms in comparison to the rest of the rooms in your home, you spend so much time in your bathroom that updating it will make a big difference in your day-to-day life. But tackling a bathroom remodel can be tricky at first—knowing the main things to update will help you get started.

Replace the Vanity

According to Hayneedle , a great place to start when updating your bathroom is with the vanity. An outdated vanity goes a long way in making your bathroom look out of style. And while taking out the vanity may seem like a huge project, it actually doesn’t have to be totally overwhelming.

In some situations, you may want to take out the whole vanity and replace it with another one. In other situations, you may be able to get away with simply updating your existing vanity by adding new hardware, changing the backsplash, or covering the ugly counter surface with something else.

Remove the Old Flooring

Bathroom floors can be one of the first things to give away the fact that a bathroom is old and well used. When tiles get dirty, the grout becomes stained and can look quite unappealing. Replacing this tile with another flooring option can give your bathroom an instant facelift.

But remember to approach tile removal with the right help. According to Removal Tech , tile removal can create a lot of harmful dust if not done properly. Enlisting the help of experts can ensure that you are not injured in any way during this DIY project.

Add an Accent Wall

According to Domino , another great way to update your bathroom is to paint your bathroom a fresh color and to specifically add an accent wall. There are a variety of types of accent walls to consider. You may want to think about adding some fun wallpaper to one of the walls. This can instantly brighten and bring color to the space and it usually isn’t the hardest project to tackle.

Bathroom remodels can go in so many different directions. Whether you want to simply update your old cabinetry or totally overhaul the space, make sure you plan each step of your process. Without careful planning, you can easily run out of resources too soon or finish your project without having achieved your desired look.
