One of the most enjoyable but very exacting do-it-yourself home improvement projects is bathroom decorating. Doesn’t matter if you’re planning to spruce up your current theme or style or gunning for a total makeover look shabby chic style, bathroom decorating cannot be done on impulse. This is a project that requires careful planning, budgeting and lots of window shopping.
For total make overs, prepare to spend quite a hefty amount because bathroom decorating does require a budget specially if you plan to replace the center pieces such as the tub, toilets or sink. Obviously, these cost much more than getting new faucets or knobs, hence the need to carefully plan and schedule your bathroom decorating project.
On the other hand, if all you’re after is a simple weekend warrior project, you don’t need to spend a fortune on bathroom decorating. All you really need would be to trust your innate sense of style, work out a budget plan (the aim is to stay within that amount) as well as the number of hours you have to work on the project.
Yes a timetable is important! Most bathroom decorating plans end up unfinished because the persons involved often find that it takes a whole lot longer than they first through it would. What happens is that they abandon bathroom decorating mid stream, and end up making more clutter than was originally present when they began. So write down how much time you have and want to spend for each task.
Take for example choosing new bathroom curtains and matching rugs and covers. Say you just want something from that chic new store, so roughly 2 hours ought to do it. If however you want an elaborate bathroom decorating project replete with specially made curtains or knitted covers – that of course would take more time.
One good advice is to divide the bathroom decorating task in chunks and spread it over a longer period of time. Besides bathroom curtains, other areas or aspects of a bathroom decorating endeavor you might want to look into or address on your next free weekend are:
1. Freshening up your bathroom vanity or adding new bathroom vanity cabinets to give your bathroom a neater, more organized look.
2. You can also replace the shower heads and bathroom faucets to make all the fixtures match. You can choose from brass to chrome to other ornate designs and styles depending on your preference.
3. Adding a colorful new bathroom sink
4. Accessorize with new drapes, scented candles and oils
