Whether you're selling your home or just want to do some updates to improve the look of your powder room, there are a number of different things you can do to keep it from looking old and outdated. From cabinet resurfacing to replacing the fixtures, there are a number of small touches that can be done without spending a lot of money.
Updating The Shower Curtains And Towels
The easiest way to change the look of your bathroom is to replace the shower curtains, floor rug and towels. This can usually be done for under $200 and only takes a little time at the closest linens store. If you replaced your fixtures with a different metal tone, also replace the shower curtain rod. You don't want to have an oil rubbed bronze faucet with a shiny silver shower curtain rod. The difference will be striking, especially in a small room.
Cabinet Resurfacing
If you don't have enough in your budget to replace the cabinetry, consider cabinet resurfacing. Also known as cabinet refacing or refinishing, this project is a little more involved than some of the others. Although it's possible do to this yourself, many people choose to hire a company to take care of it to ensure a professional finish.
Cabinet refacing includes actually replacing the doors, yet using the existing structure of the cupboard. It's usually a better option over simply refinishing if the doors and drawers are in rough shape. New doors and drawers will be ordered and then a new veneer will be applied to the existing structure. If you choose cabinet refinishing, the existing doors and drawers will be used and simply sanded, then repainted or re-stained. If you have an experienced company complete your resurfacing project, no one but you will know there aren't new cupboards in your bathroom.
Replacing The Fixtures
Even if you're not an experienced plumber, you can easily replace the fixtures in your bathroom. Updating the faucets from an old fashioned two tone gold and silver to stainless steel or oil rubbed bronze can mean an instant upgrade for the busiest room in your house.
Paint The Walls
A fresh coat of paint is another inexpensive way to improve your powder room's appearance. Before buying an entire gallon, buy a few sample pots of paint. Brush them on the walls in small sections and let them dry before deciding which color you want to use. There's nothing worse than finishing a painting project and deciding that you hate the color. Also, look for paint in a gloss or semi gloss finish. This is better for a bathroom as it is easily cleaned. If you do choose to paint in a matte or eggshell finish, realize that you might be repainting often.
These are only a few of the many changes you can make to update the look of your bathroom. Although a full bathroom update can cost thousands, these changes can be done at a fraction of the cost with just a little hard work.
