Sprucing Up Your Bland Bathroom
| We don’t have to tell you that kitchens and bathrooms can sell a home—but did you know that you don’t have to break the bank? Whether or not you’re planning on selling, you can spruce up your bathroom with just a few simple tricks: |
1. New fixtures & new lighting! Replace your old bulbs for some spiffy new high-efficiency ones, and pick up a trendy faucet and swanky low-flow showerhead while you’re at it. It’s less expensive to be environmentally-friendly than you’d think—check Home Depot or Lowe’s to see for yourself. |
| Affordable, easy to install, and attractive! Just $138 from Lowe’s2. Colors! If you’re selling, swap out your current paint or wallpaper for a warm neutral to allow potential buyers to envision living in your space. Not selling? Go crazy! We like rich purples and exotic golds. Either way, treat yourself to a cozy new set of bath towels (make sure to Google a printable Bed Bath & Beyond coupon before you head out)…after all, you can take the towels with you if you’re selling! |
|
3. Storage, storage, and more storage. Ladies, we all know that our favorite Essie nail polishes and our couldn’t-live-without-it Smashbox products are strewn around our vanity… but there’s an easier way. Organize it! Check Crate & Barrel or The Container Store for the cutest storage stuff out there. Your husband will thank us. |
| 4. Selling? Set the stage with all of the details to impress the most discriminating buyers. Keep your bathroom absolutely spotless during showings, invest in a few elegant French soaps, and don’t be afraid to spritz & wipe down countertops moments before potential buyers arrive (the clean lemon-y smell will linger just enough). Anthropologie is home to our favorite soaps, candles and handtowels.
