While updating the color of a bathroom’s walls or even rotating the color of towels and bath mats may seem like it spices up a dull bathroom, the appeal of these enhancements is short lived. Unlike most rooms where a splash of paint can change the atmosphere of a room, bathrooms have static features like vanities and mirrors. Replacing key features in a bathroom not only bring new life to a room, but it also is an opportunity to equip the room with more functional features.

Many homes have static flat mirrors that are glued to the wall and reinforced with a few clips. Needless to say, little is left to the image with these mirrors. Consider replacing a unframed mirror with its’ exact opposite and center it with the faucet. Double sinks can incorporate two mirrors, giving the bathroom a larger appearance and more of a “his and hers” type of feel. Maximize space by installing decorative medicine cabinet mirrors than can hold personal hygiene items and uncluttered countertops and closets. This is a simple, but fun way to bring personality, elegance and dimension to a flat, lifeless wall. Beveled mirrors can create optical illusions and illuminated mirrors can create flattering lightning.

Choose a mirror that can be incorporated into the current theme of a bathroom. County feel bathrooms would not pair with a high tech bevel mirror. When updating a key feature of a bathroom, if the goal is for the change to demand attention, make sure the attention is positive. If a vanity and fixtures are simple, the mirror should be also. Try not to mix matte finish and chrome finish or gold and silver as it is glaringly obvious and look sloppy. Wood frame mirrors are easy to find in a variety of shades. Make sure if a wood theme is the goal that the same colors are used. Regardless if the piece is new or not, the lighter piece will look faded and old in comparison. Balance is essential in a bathroom.

A great a deal of frustration comes from not being able to utilize the space available. Drawers are too small or shelves are too narrow or there simple are not enough available to properly store items. Bathroom vanity replacement redefines a focal point for a bathroom. Transitioning from basic laminate counters to a crisp white ceramic countertop or even a silky smooth granite counter top can be the difference between a bathroom and an elegant room to prepare for the day.

As key features of a bathroom are replaced and become more beautiful and more efficient, other accents can be replaced ad hoc. Harsh fluorescent bathroom lightning can feel scientific and unflattering. Dim lighting strains eyes and elicits a dim, dreary environment. Installing decorative fixtures with natural light and a dimmer switch can quickly accommodate the needs of all.

Once a redecorating project is underway, it is simply a matter of determining what works and what does not. A bathroom vanity or a bathroom mirror are often more problematic that one might realize until he or she is presented with a functional alternative.
