It can be fun to watch the home makeover
shows on television or to flip through the pages of a home décor magazine and
look at the fancy bath and powder rooms so often featured but it can also be a
bit discouraging when you feel your own bathroom leaves something to be
desired. Perhaps your bath cabinets or vanities are a bit dated or your
bathroom is simply mundane. Take heart – with some savvy shopping its easy to
update a drab bathroom with new toilet
paper and towel holders, shower curtains, bath mats and more.
Most folks have to live with the existing
porcelain bath fixtures (the tub, sink and
commode) but there is still plenty you can do to modernize a bathroom,
starting with the vanity. Replace dated bathroom hardware such as drawer knobs
and cabinet pulls with new ones for an easy update; look for matching shower
curtain hooks and towel bars to carry the new style throughout the room. This
is best done when you buy components from a bath collection plus you can buy
one piece at a time as budget permits – over time the end result will be a
coordinated and attractive bathroom makeover.
The simple addition of a handheld
showerhead can make any bathroom more appealing and functional. With a handheld
showerhead it is easy to shampoo hair or bathe while seated; use it to bathe
children, wash pets, water plants and even clean the shower or tub enclosure.
Enjoy a spa-like water massage – a handheld showerhead lets you target the
water spray precisely where you want it. Most handheld showerheads are designed
so they can be installed without the assistance of a plumber.
