It's time to renovate the bathroom, but you can not muster the energy for a comprehensive renovation?
Well, you really do not have to.
There is a wide range of elements that can be used to renovate the bathroom and give it new life, without dirt and without too much mess.
storage
Storage solutions are always necessary - they will help the tidy among us to put everything in place, and the messy will allow to pack the clutter in a slightly more tidy way, at least on the surface.
The important tip:
try to equip the bathroom with as many supported or laid storage solutions as possible, such that it is easy to move from place to place or replace when you want to refresh.

Towels and racks
The towel is an important stain in the bathroom, and the hanger on which it hangs can convey design messages to the space on our behalf.
These are two small items that make a big difference.
It's time to dump her and move on.
You can choose basic racks, but those who want to create a slightly more sophisticated look will be able to choose the hook racks that have become popular recently, or create a dedicated marble opening around the bathroom sink.
No need to blow up a closet with towels.
It is enough to stock up on 2-4 beautiful towels and switch between them.
When one is in the laundry, the other is hanging.
The important tip:
you should match the towels to the color palette in the space.
If your wall cladding incorporates a particular color, make sure that color appears, even if only by touch, in the towel of your choice.

Sinks
To create a quick change, you should adopt the idea of laid sinks.
It is true that they too require a connection to plumbing, but not much beyond that.
In a short time the bathroom can get a completely different look.
The important tip:
to create a match, ask yourself if you want the sink to be the star in the room and then choose one in bright colors, or if its interesting shape is enough for you and prefer it to be harmoniously assimilated into the space - then choose a more classic shade from the monochromatic family (black, gray, white ).

Sets
When the soap dish, the toothbrushing tool, the cotton swab tool and the liquid soap are from the same set, the design messages become tighter and the space looks aesthetic, well-groomed and updated.
The sets can be found today everywhere - from the marketing chains, through the stock chains to the leading bath brands.
The important tip:
if you enlarge and choose a designed tray to place the items on, you will further strengthen the aesthetic line and the look will be even more neat and designed.

Faucets
Until about a decade ago, the faucet in the bathroom was only functional.
The designers of the product gradually realized that this was a relatively small item, but one that could attract a lot of attention, a bit like a diamond in the center of a ring.
To the familiar silver collections were added faucets in shades of black, rose gold and brass, along with plastic faucets in happy shades.
They come in different finishes - glossy, matte and brushed - in designs that can fit into any design style.
The important tip: just
replacing a faucet can sometimes be enough to refresh the bathroom space.
Invest thought in choosing the faucet and consider the shape and shade.
Make sure that the control handles of the hot and cold water are comfortable for you to operate, and note that the faucet body is long enough and that the spout is not too close to the edge of the sink, otherwise every time you wash your hands the entire sink environment will get wet.

Mirrors
In front of the mirror, we dry ourselves, comb our hair, and usually also put on make-up and care for the facial skin.
Those who want to enhance the atmosphere in the space, will choose a mirror with a hidden light fixture that will spread a bright aura.
Even when it comes to the simplest look, one can choose one with an element of interesting texture.
Beyond being functional, the look is a design item and also a kind of size multiplier.
The important tip:
it is recommended to make sure that you choose a mirror that is designed to be placed in the bathroom - resistant to steam and moisture, otherwise all the beauty will disappear after a few single showers, as water will penetrate and create indelible internal stains.

Atmosphere
If you are in the segment of changing and refreshing the bathroom space, do not give up the small items that will create the atmosphere for you.
After renewing, painting, replacing a faucet, setting a look and installing a sink, it's time to incorporate mood accessories like candles, scent sticks, scented soaps and more.
The important tip:
before you choose the atmosphere products, examine the space and internalize the color palette that characterizes it.
If your sink is pinkish, you can choose a fragrant soap that has a reference to the same shade on its cover, or if your laundry basket is made of beige wicker, you can choose a collection of candles that match the shade.

Laundry baskets
This is the ultimate way to store all the mess that the laundry creates - if you manage to teach your children to throw everything in the designed basket that stands in the corner, you will win a perfect order and on the way your bathroom will enjoy a designed touch.
The important tip:
almost any basket can become a laundry basket, but it is worth investing and choosing a designed one.
In principle there are two main types: laundry basket with lid and laundry basket without lid.
The basket with the lid will maintain a more organized look.
It's not that the open baskets will not do the job, but it's important to consider this before choosing.

Color
Along with the use of tiles, there is also the option to paint wet spaces with paint.
The look gets a flatter dimension.
While the cladding tiles emphasize volume, the paint on the wall is one-dimensional.
It will be well received in minimalist spaces, looking for the connection to the initial, but if a bold color palette is used they can create a happy feeling and adapt to other design styles.
The important tip: the
paint in the bathroom must be a dedicated, moisture-resistant paint.
Any other color will not last and will make the investment a waste.
