Hi. My name is Alana Gray from Bathware Direct.com.au.
Today we're going to talk about decorating your bathroom.
Now putting the final touches on the bathroom can
sometimes be a forgotten step
in the process of renovating because the renovation process for a bathroom
is so involved when you think about
your bedroom,
you wouldn't forget
the color
of the walls or the
light fittings, the lamps,
the tables,
the side tables,
you wouldn't forget those final touches
so don't forget it in your bathroom.
Lighting is something that's really, really important in a bathroom.
Sometimes it gets forgotten in this area.
Don't forget that a bathroom is
used for practical purposes
so over the vanity, you need good lighting to be able to do your make up
or shaving
whatever you might use that space for
and then if you use it
for baths and
relaxing
you also need a relaxing kind of lighting.
If you're bathroom is not large enough to have 2 different types of lighting,
perhaps you could use a dimmer switch
so when you want to dim down the light and have a relaxing kind of
time, you can just use the same light fittings but dim it down.
Great ways to dress up the bathroom are with the mirror,
that's something that's really a must have in the bathroom. So rather than just
getting a plain old, boring mirror...
how about a gold kind of gilt edged
ornate mirror
that would give it a really kind of luxury touch
or
a shabby chic kind of mirror
will give it that kind of old fashioned vintage touch
so depending on the frame that you choose for your mirror, that could be something that
really adds personality to the bathroom.
Storage is another thing that can really give you an opportunity to dress up the
room
so
you could
have a storage display area that has soaps and lotions and candles as well as
towels,
just displayed kind of strategically to make it feel really
nice and have a nice relaxing
bathroom feel
or you can also use lockers
or something old school lockers, maybe you could use
as storage
in a vintage, shabby kind of bathroom
so there's just lots of ways of thinking outside the square to try to add your
own style, to put your stamp on your bathroom
Once you
finish
installing the
basin and the toilet and the shower and all the hard bits,
that's when the fun starts.
wall hangings ....
you could have a whole lot of different frames on the wall
or you could have 1 huge frame with
an unusual picture in there that you just love or something like that.
Finally, bathroom accessories are an important inclusion.
You would need to include them anyway.
Towel rails, robe hooks,
toilet roll holders
and other accessories;
if you have chrome tapware, it's a good idea to continue the chrome theme
with the fixtures that you need to fit into the wall
but
you could have
if you have a spare toilet roll canister,
you could use
a ceramic kind of a latte colored one or
something like that to add a bit of
color depending on the type of theme that you're going
for throughout your bathroom.
Towels and
if you have
a shower curtain are
both real opportunities to inject color and life and
personality into your bathroom.
So that's just a few tips for
putting the final touches on to your bathroom. Don't forget because
it makes you feel excited once you get the whole thing done and you can
really enjoy it
So I'm Alana Gray from Bathware Direct.com. au and I'll see you next
time.
