Don’t lose heart because there are still affordable and useful upgrades you can do for your bathroom. Take note of these five helpful tips to transform your bathroom, especially if it doesn’t have much space.

Place A Curved Shower Rod
You want to feel luxurious when you’re taking a bath, and to make this happen even in a small bathroom, create the illusion of more space by placing a curved shower rod to hold your shower curtain. The rod’s curved design saves more space in your shower while making it look bigger than usual. It also gives your shower a sleek, modern look and the privacy you need.
Elevate Your Sink
Floating sinks don’t just look elegant, but they also give you more floor room for your laundry basket, trash bin, and perhaps a cabinet where you can keep house cleaners, toilet rolls, towels, or waffle bathrobes.
Choose from various elevated sink designs offered by the market. If you want your bathroom to look minimalist, take inspiration from The Rise Makati’s bathrooms. Their units’ bathrooms have elevated sinks that complement the rooms’ brown and gray hues.
Install Shower Benches
Want to have a more relaxing shower experience? Install a shower bench where you can sit while washing your hair, scrubbing your skin, and shaving. The shower counter also doubles as extra space to hold your showering products, brushes, and towels. You’ll also feel like you are in a sauna while having a warm steamy shower.
Decorate Your Mirrors
Mirrors are decorative statements in your bathroom. Make them look more attractive by framing them with glass tiles, stained wood, metal-plated frames, or rope. If your mirror is already bordered, repaint it with vibrant colors to pop against the whites and grays of your bathroom. Applying a new coat of varnish also gives your mirrors a clean, antique look.
Create your light-up mirrors by placing LED bulbs above the mirror. Your bathroom won’t just look brighter and more stylish, but your vanity area will be more conducive for you to do skincare and makeup.
Change Showerheads
Save more water and money by changing your old showerheads into water-saving ones. Choose showerheads with various modes, such as rainfall, mist, and full shower, to suit your bathing and massaging needs. Many stylish and efficient showerheads help save you water while still giving you the right amount of water to wash and rinse.
Upgrading your bathroom doesn’t have to be extravagant for you to make it look fresher and more relaxing. You also don’t need to turn your bathroom upside down to expand space. Start with these five budget-friendly and practical upgrades to create a more stylish and spacious bathroom.
