Bath Renovation Simplified

Light Wallet....Easy Updates that are Easy on Cost


When Under taking a bathroom renovation people can sometimes get in over there head. When renovating a bathroom, a project can quickly become a huge expense. There are however ways to spend little money and get major effect.
Bathrooms can be easily updated by adding a fresh coat of paint, or new Hardware. It's important to remember Contemporary design is
most commonly acheived by being a Minimalist.  The high contrast of the brown-metallic tile used sparingly in this bath against the bright white paint is the perfect example of modern execution and minimalist aesthetic.
Accessories are inexpensive way to give your Bathroom a new look. New towels and pops of color throughout the bath can make a dull bathroom look renewed. But it is important to remember 'Less is more', accessories only work when used in moderation. Too many accessories can make a space  seem  cluttered and messy.  Contemporary design should be clean and not over thought. The bright pink pop of the Shower curtain in the photo to the left brings life to the cold light grey tile and the abstract pattern adds a fun, young element to the space. While the glass block makes the space feel larger, brighter, and open. Color & light are key to a perfect design.
Another simple but more costly route of upgrading your bath is replacing the vanity. There are often cabinet remnants at local cabinet vendors that they will sell for very little. You can get creative with your vanity as well , using a simple surface and adding a vessel sink can instantly add flair to your bathroom space. Most commonly I put vessel sinks in powder or guest baths so that they are more like show piece for your visitors. The citron porcelain vessel to the right gives an unexpected pop to this do-it yourself shabby-chic vanity. Don't be afraid to play with your design, and try out ideas, have fun with it, and                 make it your own.
