Finishing Touches to Your Newly Remodeled Bathroom

  • Add a simple detail, such as a shelf along one wall, to display framed prints or small collectibles like perfume bottles.
  • Fill antique bowls or shaving mugs with pretty toiletries, such as soaps or bath salts.
  • If you have room, consider adding a piece of outdoor furniture like a wicker chair or table.
  • Add accent lighting like a low-voltage strip of lights around the top edge of the wall tile.
  • Draw attention to the ceiling with decorative wood beams. Line an entire wall with mirrored cabinets. They will make the room look significantly more open.
  • Colorwash wood cabinets.
  • Instead of paint, try a colored stain to revive wood cabinets or a vanity. Mix and match colors by using a light-colored stain for the background and then applying a brighter color to some of the drawers.
  • Add fresh flowers or flowering plants to the room. Bathroom remodeling is not only about concrete and cement!
  • Seek out unusual vessels, such as wall vases, old watering cans or window boxes to hold your favorite flora. If your bathroom has a linen closet with a door, replace the door with a framed trellis or a reproduction of a Victorian screen door.
  • Attach a beveled mirror to the wall over the sink and frame it with tiles. You can use a selection of mix-and-match tiles or try some colorful mosaics.
