4. Paint Your Cabinets
Painting your cabinets is such a great way to instantly change the look of your bathroom. If you feel your space is rather dark or even just bland, painting your cabinets a bright colour is a really great idea.
Pink seems to be a real favourite for bathrooms right now, so if you want to go for a brighter more bold paint colour then pink is a really great choice. 🌸💖
5. Drawer Organisation
Organising your drawers is such a functionality must for your bathroom!
Not only is it EXTREMELY satisfying but it is also such a great way to cut time looking for stuff when you are getting ready in the morning.
You can organise your drawers how you like but it’s a good idea to have a drawer dedicated to skincare, one dedicated to bath products and one for makeup.
6. Floral/Fancy Wallpaper
Such an effortless way to make your bathroom look more high end!
Wall decor ideas like this will literally make such a difference to the feel of your bathroom. Just be sure to pick a wallpaper which compliments the space and doesn’t look too dated or out of place in your home.

7. Include As Much Storage In Your Vanity As Possible

People often underestimate just how much storage they may need so it is always best to include as much storage as possible.

8. Unique Door

People often overlook putting plants and greenery in their bathroom when they TOTALLY shouldn’t.
Adding plants to your bathroom is a really great way of giving the space an ‘earthy’ feel.

11. Built In Storage In Shower
This is often standard for new homes but is however still sometimes overlooked in house renovations.
Having built in shelves inside the shower is so convenient for storing all your hair products and grabbing them as you shower.
If you are planning a renovation or have a pet peeve of having to reach for hair products while you shower, this is a really great investment for your bathroom.
12. Candles & Diffusers
This is a MUST for your bathroom. It’s important that you keep your bathroom smelling fresh and candles & diffusers are the perfect way to do so.
How a room smells is such a big factor in the feel of a space and candles are such a pretty way to make sure your bathroom is smelling its best.
If you need to fill a shelf or even the window ledge, creating a mini display like the one photographed is a really easy (and aesthetically pleasing 😌) filler for any spare space.
