Skip to Your Loo Pretty up your powder room with four simple moves that leave quite an impression  Image courtesy Sherwin-Williams All bathrooms are basically the same. They've got a sink, faucet, bath, toilet and a mirror. So how can you turn your loo into a standout success without breaking the bank (or the toilet)? "I suggest [homeowners] look at four key areas: the mirror, paint, hardware and lighting. Each can be easily and inexpensively updated to provide a new, modern look for the bathroom," says Will Smith, owner of interior design firm Interior Motives by Will Smith in Charlotte, N.C. And go bathroom or bust, since it's one space where everyone spends some time. On average, Americans spend 30 minutes per day in the bathroom, but one in four spends more than an hour according to a 2008 survey of 1,001 homeowners conducted by Opinion Research Corporation for American Standard. Kelly Hendricks, owner of Gourmet Galleys & Loos in San Diego, Calif., says a good place to start is the hardware. Happening Hardware "Adding knobs and pulls to the vanity cabinet can help update its look," Hendricks says. Getting new hardware can be relatively cheap, and you might need to do it if yours doesn't match. "You want to keep all the metals throughout the whole bathroom the same," Hendricks says. "If you change the faucet and get brushed nickel, the knobs should be brushed nickel too." Paint Party Smith and Hendricks agree: A new coat of paint always helps. Smith suggests creating a spa-like setting with paints in beige and pale tones, and he says some popular colors are chocolate, aqua, olive and gold. To get rid of the ordinary-looking oak in your bathroom, Hendricks suggests painting the vanity. "When you paint it, start with a primer that fills in deep crevices of the wood grain. Then when you paint, it fills in and looks nice and smooth," she says. If the countertop is light, paint the cabinet a darker color and vice versa. She also suggests painting the ceiling. 'Mirror, Mirror on the Wall' Another way Hendricks says goodbye to oak is by knocking out the medicine cabinet and hanging a mirror. Smith says unframed mirrors are a thing of the past, so ditch the plastic clips and put up a gold-edged piece (unless, of course, your fixtures are brushed nickel). The Light Stuff Smith suggests using a fixture that adds beauty and soft lighting with shades and sconces. They can run above your mirror or flank it on each side. Even something simple like adding decorative towels can improve a bathroom's appearance, according to Hendricks. "You don't need to do a full-scale renovation to get the look of an updated bath," Smith says. |
