Having a home might be one of the most important purchases of your life. Although there are so many things to do on the outside of your home, the inside should reflect a comfortable environment to relax and enjoy! Every room in your house should have your own touche and style to share your unique way of decorating. Think of each room as a destination of itself. Some of the spaces can be designed to relax while others can be a more focal point for your friends and family to gather. I think one of the most overlooked rooms in a home is the bathroom.

The bathroom is a typical compact space that serves its purpose. However, it shouldn’t be a room that you neglect when it comes to decorating or thinking you want to start a small renovation to it. Consider the amount of time that you spend in a bathroom each day- doing your make up and your hair, showering or just relaxing in your over soaked tub after a long day at work. If you are wanting to create the home of your dreams, start small, like in your bathroom, and work your way up to larger projects.

There are several things to consider when you are thinking of wanting to update your bathroom. For example there are tiles, countertops, wall coverings or paint, shower and tub fixtures, sinks, toilets and cabinetry work! It may seem like a lot but you actually don’t need to gut your entire bathroom to renovate it. In fact, you may not even need to take anything down at all. Small, simple projects can actually have a huge impact on your bathroom and today I’ll share 5 easy ways to update it without having to do a lot of work!

1. Give Cabinets A Facelift – If you want an instant and quick way to modify your bathroom, paint your existing cabinets! For example, I wanted a darker look from the natural wood that my cabinets had so by painting them darker, it gave them a more farmhouse look. I tested potential paint colors for almost a week to figure out exactly what color I wanted on each of the doors. The swatches then helped me narrow down what color I truly loved. A friend even suggested looking at the colors at different parts of the day to see how they change throughout the day. After finally deciding on what paint color I liked, I removed all the hardware from the doors to properly sand and prime before I really got to painting.

2. Replace Old Fixtures – Fixtures in a bathroom are like a great pair of shoes; they tie everything together. If you have old, outdated accessories why not replace them? For example, toss those old copper fixtures for a more contemporary brushed nickel. Modernize your hot and cold water handles with a sleek and minimal faucet. From a cost perspective, there are many fixture options on the market; you can stay within a tight budget or choose more high-end options.

3. Transform Your Walls-Just like a fresh coat of paint can do wonders for cabinets, it can also completely transform your walls. Accent walls, wallpaper, textured painting, and custom designed installments are eye-popping ways to add a design element to a small space. However, making a significant change is not always necessary. You may want to keep the same color on your walls but just repaint them, experts say you need to repaint walls every 4-7 years to keep them fresh.

4. Change Countertops – A much easier than most people anticipate, is replacing your existing countertops. When you hire a professional, reputable countertop company to help you design, fabricate, and install new countertops, the process can be seamless. Hanwha Surfaces is precisely that type of business. They are based in Atlanta, Georgia and offer luxury HanStone Quartz and Hanex Solid Surfaces. HanStone Quartz is a stone surface made from pure, natural quartz. HanStone Quartz offers the natural beauty of quartz with up to six times the strength and durability of granite. Approximately 93 percent of HanStone Quartz is mined quartz crystals, one of nature’s hardest materials. The quartz is combined with high-quality polyester resins and pigment to produce a natural stone without the high-maintenance.When you purchase countertops from Hanwha Surfaces, you receive a residential lifetime limited warranty or a commercial 10-year limited warranty which is a huge perk! The quartz countertop will give your bathroom that upgrade look that you’ve been achieving!

Whatever your bathroom needs are, make sure that you love everything you are doing to make it your own. Offer to get help from friends and by all means, if you feel like you are way in over your head, hire a professional to come take your stress away! The updates that you put into your bathroom will last and make you feel your best when using it.
