You can easily create a luxurious bathroom without spending much at all.
1. Add an Armchair
If you have the space, add an armchair. You can pick up a second hand chair for next to nothing, just put a good looking throw over it or cover with a linen sheet. Choose a chair that is not going to make your bathroom look overcrowded as a bathroom without a spacious fee is a real no no.
2. Wall to Wall Magic
Did you know that you can get water resistant coated wallpaper from many home improvement stores? Not only is it usually cheaper (and easier) than tiling the whole bathroom, but choosing the right (coordinated!) pattern can really add the wow factor.
3. The Power of Colours
Colour coordination is the key. Nothing too garish or you will never be able to relax in your bathroom. This goes for the fixtures and fittings AND the accessories too.
What colours to use for your bathroom?
Red for vitality and excitement.
Blue to relax and unwind.
Green to refresh and feel calm: it fights depression, hence it being used in hospitals.
Yellow for joy like sunshine.
4. Window Dressing
Using linen sheets (instead of curtains) in conjunction with blinds can add a real feeling of luxury .
5. Accessories
Glass bottles full of coloured bathing oils or bubble-bath can look great and cost little. If you fancy a seaside theme, beach pebbles and starfish etc are free. Try not to add to much clutter and if you want to put in lots of pretty things, consider a display stand or some decent shelving to make a real impact.
6. Mirror Tricks
Place mirrors or mirror tiles at right angles to windows to direct daylight back into your bathroom and create the illusion of space. The bigger the mirror the better.
7. Baby Light My Fire!
Who doesnt like a nice relaxing candlelit bath? Get some scented candles! - and candle holders should of course coordinate with the other accessories. - 23802
