This week we're sharing Pagazzi's easy bathroom ideas, perfect for those on a tight budget!
The bathroom is one of the most important rooms in any home. Not only is it one of the most functional, seeing a stream of traffic all day long, but it's also one of the only places in a bustling family home where people can truly take some time to themselves and their thoughts.
It's important to bear these things in mind when decorating to make sure your bathroom looks, feels, and works the way you want it to.
Striking a balance between function and style isn't always easy, but it's important to make sure your bathroom is both fit for purpose and a calming environment to relax and unwind in.
From our years in the interiors industry, we've learned that the bathroom is a key area of concern in many of our customers' homes. Given the constant slog of visitors - not to mention the daily dose of water and steam they endure - bathrooms can quickly become tired looking, in need of some interior TLC to bring them back to life.
But, given that bathrooms are often considered one of the most costly rooms to decorate, sprucing them up is easier said than done.
Or is it..?
We've put together a list of simple and effective ways that you can freshen up your bathroom, without replacing any of the main fittings.
Switch up your towels
We've all heard the jokes about the special guest towels that are just for show and not to be used under any circumstances, haven't we?
Well, it's time to buy those towels!
We're only kidding about the not using them part (you deserve great towels you can use!), but investing in a set of stylish, good quality towels can really bring a bathroom to life.
Coordinating the colours with the overall scheme, and working in a matching bath mat can make a bathroom look elegant and crisp without breaking the bank.
Coordinate your accents
Following on from the towels, selecting an energising accent colour and coordinating a range of accessories around the room in this shade can create a feeling of cohesion and style in an otherwise drab bathroom.
From candles and towels to vases and soap dispensers, creating a pop of colour is one of the easiest ways to breathe new life into your bathroom!
Update your hardware
Believe it or not, you can get some brilliant deals on new bathroom hardware. Switching up your taps, shower heads and other metal elements in your bathroom can drastically change the look and feel without having to splurge on an entirely new suite.
Handy Tip: Choose fittings with the same attachment mechanism as the existing ones and fitting the new taps will be quick and straightforward!
Invest in beautiful lighting and mirrors
Purchasing a new statement light fitting is a brilliant way to lift the look of your bathroom on a budget.
Lighting is especially important in a bathroom because it needs to be functional as well as stylish to make sure you can see everything you need to when getting ready or pampering yourself!
Always remember to check the IP Rating of any light fittings you are considering for a bathroom. Water and electricity don't mix, and your safety should always be a number one priority.
If you're unsure if a particular fitting is suitable for bathroom use, then don't hesitate to get in touch and ask for advice. Or, if you visit us in store, our friendly staff will be more than happy to show you the stunning bathroom-ready range we offer.
This goes for mirrors, too. Treating yourself to a beautiful bathroom mirror is a worthy investment given it will be one of the most commonly used mirrors throughout the home.
Not to mention, mirrors are a great way of reflecting light, and making a room look larger! This is especially important as bathrooms tend to be on the smaller side, and some have no natural light source.

Splash some greenery!
Last, but not least, introduce some lush plant-life to your bathroom.
A hint of green will not only brighten the space but will help keep your bathroom feeling fresh and tranquil.
If you don't fancy having to worry about watering a real plant, then invest in a few realistic artificial plants and place them strategically in areas where people won't be too close to them for the same calming effect.
