Making the Main Bathroom a Pretty Place

Bathrooms are the easiest rooms to renovate quickly. Unless you really need a new tank or sink or tub, the cost for working your interior decorating magic on this room can be minimal. Look at your shower curtain. Chances are all it really needs is a simple trip through the laundry. This is the easiest way to get rid of that dull soapy grunge that seems to just appear overnight. If it the shower curtain is beyond help, throw it out and replace it with a fresh new curtain.
Do you have enough towel racks? If not, put up one or two more and hang up your prettiest towels. Try to match the towels. It is a mystery of laundry how pairs get separated so you might have to dig through the towel cupboard to find matching towels but the effort is worth it. Do the same thing for facecloths. It’s just a peaceful and no-cost decorating thing that you can do and it creates instant balance in your bathroom.

Also, look around at the tub-side clutter. How many of those puffy net bath scrub things do you really use? More than one?  Then remove all the unused ones and also pick up all the unused bath bubbles, bath oil, shower gel, and such bottles and tubes and take all off this to the guest room. Pile it in a big wicker basket and set it on a dresser. (If the net scrubbies are grungy, launder them first.)This has the two-fold interior decorating effect of making your bathroom look more attractive and gives your guestroom an inviting little extra welcome greeting to your guests.
Update your bathroom wall decorations. If you have the common ceramic fish decorations, find bigger fish to add to the wall arrangements. It will make the wall art look more current and as if it is planned, not just something tossed on the wall because the wall was bare. If you have the room for it, add a magazine basket to the bathroom. It makes for a great place to stash last month’s magazines and it gives the room a bit more personality
