Why is the bathroom consistently the ugliest room in the house? I mean, in practically every house I go in to the bathroom is simple, plain and basic in design and needs.

 

 I believe that a certain myth is responsible. The myth that claims upgrading your bathroom is hard.

 

That may have been true in the past but it’s not anymore. Upgrading your bathroom isn’t hard anymore. It’s easy for anyone to do! In fact, it can even be done by shopping online for a great bathroom vanity! It’s easy and you can do it!

 

 

Here are three simple things you can do to make you bathroom seem like new:

 

            1) Improve The Lighting:

 

Improving the lighting in your bathroom is a great start. Dark bathrooms are not smart. Darkness mixed with moisture means mold which it is very unhealthy to breath in. It also means danger. A dark wet bathroom is very prone to accidents like slipping.

 

Lighting affects the mood and feel of the room. The lighter the room is, the lighter your mood will be. Its a natural thing with people to reflect the mood of their environment.

 

There are many lighting options available. Add a lamp. There are hundreds of lamps to pick from and they don’t cost very much. You can get a good one for around $150 or less. Of course, if you want to you can pay more for a more expensive one but only if you want to. If your theme is old-world or Victorian, consider chandeliers or hanging lamps. Pendant lamps would be a great idea because they are a lot like chandeliers but more affordable.

 

If you are like me, you might prefer more of a modern look. If this is the case then go with a techno design with vivid colors.

 

If you have a large bathroom, it will probably require more than one fixture. If it’s small, one will work.

 

There’s a lighting fixture for any décor that you can imagine so don’t ever think that there isn’t one for your style.

 

            2) Bathroom Vanities

 

The old space sucking cabinets have got to go. They’re blocky and they take up a lot of room. But where will you put all the stuff that’s in them? What will you replace them with?

 

Well, replacing them with bathroom vanities would be a great idea. Vanities are the classy version of cabinets and they come in a number of styles to match any bathroom. They provide storing space for towels cleaning supplies, toiletries and others,  just like any cabinet. Just a whole lot better.

 

Double bathroom vanities are great for two people. There is enough space for both people to have items on the counter and both can get ready at the same time. Two sinks make a morning much easier.

 

The average price for a bathroom vanity is from $300-2,000. You can get a pretty good one for a little over $300 but the ones that cost around $500-700 are prettier. However, all of them are worth having.

 

            3) Vessel Sinks

 

A vessel sink is like basin that has a drainage line connected to the bottom of it. Vessel sinks sit on top of counters or tables. They and tend to be unique and sleek and they make wonderful decorations as well as sinks. Faucets for vessel sinks make the bathroom look dramatic and alive. They add a wonderful touch to a bathroom.

 

Vessel sinks come in many beautiful styles. They are made from glass, stone, stainless steel, copper, ceramic and brass. There are many different shapes: rounded, elongated, square and also oval.

 

The price for a good vessel sink usually extends from $25-400 and it’s entirely worth it.

 

As you see, small changes make a big difference. Vanities, lights and sinks may not seem like much but they will make your bathroom seem like a new place!
