When you’re dealing with a remodel, or redecorating situation in your bathroom, it’s probably best to just leave the major stuff alone such as the toilet, sink, shower, bathtub, etc.. Changing these parts of your bathroom are certainly an option, but in doing so, you’re going to spend a lot more money.

One of the first things you want to look at when analyzing your first move, is the paint colors. If your walls don’t match anything else in your bathroom, or nothing in your bathroom matches your walls, you’ll want to start by changing one or the other. Instead of replacing everything in your bathroom, you should consider buying an old fashion bucket of paint, and get to work- a little sweat equity never hurts!

For a very nominal price, you can pick up one or two gallons of paint from your local hardware store and completely change the look of your bathroom simply by painting your walls a different color. When you choose your paint you’re going to have to think about what kind of feeling you want your bathroom to output, as different colors tend to have different feelings associated with them.

No matter what color you end up choosing, you’ll also want to make sure you apply some type of top coat after your walls dry. A top coat will allow you to scrub any dirt or scuff marks off your walls without staining or damaging the paint job.

After you paint your walls, the next thing you’ll want to start looking at, is different hardware for your drawers and cabinets. The hardware in your bathroom is one of the second most noticeable features, and can easily be changed at very reasonable prices.

Once you have your bathroom’s paint and hardware up-to-date, you can get into some of the more fun stuff, like the different accessories. There are tons of bathroom accessories out there to choose from, such as a yellow shower curtain, just don’t go too overboard with the accessories!

Things that you want to fix and spiffy up before you get into the fun stuff, is rotting  molding, lose hardware, water stains, and any overall dirt or grime that’s built up over time. If you don’t take care of the basic aesthetics of your bathroom, there’s no point in fixing up the other stuff. Also, because you’re already a cost conscious person, if you leave your bathroom errors to sit, they could develop into much larger, more expensive problems down the line; maybe not those lose door pulls, but things like rotting molding can lead to water damage and other avoidable damages.

Out of all the rooms in your home or apartment, the bathroom is definitely one of the more simple and cost effective rooms you can redesign and overhaul without having to spend a fortune doing so. Although one of the easiest rooms to spruce up, most people just choose not to.

Simple things can really make a big difference when it comes to your shower and you would probably be surprised by the number of options readily available. Not only are there tons of options, but they really don’t cost very much either if you look in the right places. Making the most out of basic household clothes and materials can really bring out your inner Suzy home maker, but you have to get creative. Searching around on the internet can provide you with great inspiration. If you’re not sure where to start your bathroom decorating process, then maybe you should go all out and start with something like a Yellow Shower Curtain, as this will surely trigger some good ideas.
