How can you renovate your bathroom quickly and do it yourself?
Changing your bathroom décor is often associated with a time-consuming and costly renovation. At the very thought of chipping away at tiles, most people give up on the idea of a renovation before it’s even got off the ground. If you’re thinking of giving your bathroom a fresh look, be sure to read the article below and find out how to transform it quickly and, most importantly, by yourself.
A bathroom makeover in a single day? It’s possible!
If you want to quickly refresh the look of your bathroom, choose Motivo. Using a decorative wall panel is the ideal way to ensure your bathroom renovation is completed quickly and without a huge financial outlay. By installing Motivo, you’ll save not only money but also time. Instead of chipping away at the tiles, you can simply stick the panels onto them and enjoy your bathroom’s new look.
Which style do you like best?
Think about the effect you want to achieve. Do you prefer an elegant marble bathroom, a modern one, or something more in the southern style? The most fashionable styles in recent seasons have been those with a southern flair – featuring plenty of patterns, designs and an endless variety of patchwork. Bear in mind, however, that an excessive accumulation of patterns and colours in a small bathroom can have the opposite effect to the one you’re aiming for – rather than decorating and refreshing the space, it will unnecessarily overwhelm it. For this reason, opt for a bold accent on just one wall, and use light colours on the others.
In more elegant-style bathrooms, marble-inspired designs are the perfect choice. The Motivo decorative wall panel is waterproof, so it’s worth installing it in the area most exposed to damp, whilst painting the remaining walls with special paint, preferably in a light colour that matches the chosen decor*. This will reduce the overall cost of the renovation. Remember, too, that changing the look of your bathroom doesn’t always have to involve buying new furniture. Sometimes it’s enough simply to repaint it in a more suitable colour. In this case, we recommend anthracite, which will emphasise the unique character of the marble wall decoration. To enhance the effect, choose dark-coloured towels and invest in matching glass bottles for soap and other bathroom toiletries.
Don’t forget the details!
Even a minor refurbishment is a good opportunity to harmonise the colour scheme in your interior. Simply change the mirror, the cabinet handles or even the colour of your towels – the choice is yours and depends on the style you like best. You’ll see that even the smallest detail will enhance the transformation of your bathroom. Start by using storage containers to organise and tuck away your toiletries in closed cupboards – garish packaging and product labels create visual clutter. Leave only the toiletries you use most often on display, but make sure they look attractive. You can simply decant them into special bottles that match the colour scheme of the room. By making these small changes, your bathroom will always look clean and tidy. And the overall effect will be impressive!
