We all want our homes to look stylish and up to date, but it’s not always possible to refurbish the whole house every year. Fortunately, this isn’t necessary as there are some features in any house that can make or break the décor.

One of the most important rooms in the home is the bathroom. Having dated bathroom fixings and the ‘wrong’ colours in your bathroom is a good way to quickly make your home seem old-fashioned – and not in a good, vintage-cool kind of way!

Adding mirrors into a bathroom are a great way to make a small space seem larger. Mirrors can be plain, simple sheets of mirrored glass mounted directly to the wall, or they can have fancy and ornate frames, whichever style goes best with the type of bathroom décor you are aiming to achieve.

Update your bathroom walls with a fresh coat of paint or some snazzy new wallpaper. You’ll be delighted at how much of a change this can make to a tired bathroom, instantly enlivening it and giving it a new lease of life. This is especially effective if you combine your paint or wallpaper with some of the other hints on this list – relatively low-cost features can make a huge and positive difference to your bathroom.

Bathroom tiles are another way to effectively update your bathroom, swapping out the boring plain white large tiles for cheerfully coloured, even metallic, smaller ones. You can create patterns with these small tiles, or even create a mosaic by the careful placement of your new tiles. Give your bathroom a stylish and glam touch. Visit Harrogate Bathrooms and choose from their extensive range of tiles and fixtures.

Changing out your fixtures is another quick way of modernising your bathroom simply and inexpensively. Banish clunky old taps and install sleek shiny new ones instead. Update towel rails – perhaps opt for a heated one for a bit of luxury at bath time. Trendy fixtures are an excellent way to quickly update your bathroom, and they look cool while being practical and functional at the same time.

Now is also a good time to update your soft furnishings in the bathroom. Why not swap out curtains for practical blinds? Or, if you have blinds, change them for lovely billowing curtains. Invest in a lovely new towel bundle in the colours of your bathroom décor so that the whole bathroom picks up the colour scheme.

Visit Harrogate and browse around the bathroom showroom to get some ideas and hints on what you can do to modernise your bathroom. You can choose between updating your whole bathroom – stripping out all the fixtures and fittings and putting in a whole new bathroom suite – and just updating the smaller features, making multiple small changes so you achieve a cumulative effect of modernity and style. No matter your budget or your preferences you are sure to find something that can help you to modernise your bathroom.
