Upgrading your Mohave Valley rental home bathroom might seem like a difficulty, mainly if you cannot paint or make any permanent changes. But the good thing is that there are numerous ways to create an upgraded look and feel, often without having to gain your landlord’s permission. If you’re looking for a bathroom upgrade, take a look at our list of easy, do-it-yourself, and renter-friendly ways to create an appearance you’ll understand.
Add Decorative Touches
One of the quickest approaches to update an older bathroom is to put some unexpected decorative touches. Installing colorful framed art to a blank wall may offer quick character and style to the room. Otherwise, try putting a curved shower curtain rod, a lovely glass or pottery display, or a flower arrangement to a wall, windowsill, or on top of the toilet tank.
Layer Textures
One more perfect method to upgrade the feel of your bathroom is to give it some texture. As an example, use baskets to store linens and other bathroom essentials. You could go with matching baskets or use complementary styles to give even more visual interest. And keep in mind about using cabinets and doors, too! With a simple hook, you can put a basket above a cabinet or closet door for immediate above-floor level storage capacity.
Cover Up
If your rental’s bathroom floor is unsightly, why not cover it up? A good rug can help hide ugly flooring and offer you a soft place to walk around on bare feet. Alternatively, you could even decide on a vinyl floor cloth, which looks like vinyl flooring but installs like an area rug. Whichever choice is quick to install and easy to remove when you’re willing to try something new.
Natural Beauty
If you’ve got a green thumb or just a liking for the outdoors, why not bring a little of it into your bathroom? Try placing a few potted houseplants around the tub or in an unused corner for bathrooms with adequate sunlight. Plants will not only add beauty to your space, but they can also freshen the air and make the time spent in your bathroom far more pleasant.
Trendy Storage
Does the spot over your toilet look a little bare? Give your bathroom an instant upgrade by incorporating a lovely over-the-toilet shelf unit. There are more than a few different styles to pick from, and if you decide on one that is freestanding, you don’t need to have drill holes in the walls. From wood to polished brass, minimalist modern to ornate traditional, a shelving unit can deliver both storage space and an enhanced vibe to your rental home’s bathroom. Besides all that, you can take it with you no matter where you go!
