Interiors: Give your bathroom a makeover without a major fuss

Interiors: Give your bathroom a makeover without a major fuss Your bathroom requires a makeover, but not a major redesign -- just a little sprucing up. Another quick and inexpensive trick is to change the knobs or pulls on cabinet doors and drawers. Should you change the cabinets? That depends entirely on if you're happy with the ones you already have. The next step is to buy a whole new set of towels to coordinate with the new color on the walls. Another option is to have them painted. If you like wallpaper, this is a room in which a bold style will work nicely. Changing faucets will also help, and, here again, the DIY home stores will have good and inexpensive faucets for you to choose from -- or you can find a wide range online. Faux finishes work well in this room. Another great look is to use dark colors on the bathroom walls -- dark gray, deep or dark green or deep-water blue. If that's the case, then the first thing to consider is paint. Bathrooms, particularly smaller ones, do well with a color that carries a punch. Changing the paint color on cabinets, or even just repainting with the same color, can uplift the entire room. To choose your new color, start by checking out the rest of your home. Painting is always a good place to begin, because the simple process of changing the color of the room will automatically freshen it. With that final touch, you've accomplished a brand new look without a complete lot of expense.
